5 - Maintenance

5.1General

The UPS is virtually maintenance free: take care of proper environmental conditions and keep air inlets- outlets free of dust. Please read 2.1.

5.2Fuses

If the AC input fuse (1) is defective, be sure it is replaced by a compatible fuse from the same make and type. Fuse ratings: see chapter 7.

5.3Batteries

5.3.1General

The service life of the battery is up to 6 years.

As a healthy battery is critical to the UPS, keypad 'ON' allows a battery test (3.2.2). When the condition of the battery is critical, a 'replace battery' alarm will be given (see 3.3). Charge the batteries for at least 10 hours, switch the UPS off and back on, and perform a self test. If the alarm persists replace the batteries as soon as possible.

5.3.2Battery replacement

Warning: first read the safety rules in section 1.2.

When replacing the batteries, use the same number and voltage(V)/capacity(Ah).

Proper disposal or recycling of the batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.

Never dispose of batteries in a fire: they may explode.

Do not open or mutilate batteries: their contents (electrolyte) may be extremely toxic. If exposed to electrolyte, wash immediately with plenty of water.

Avoid charging in a sealed container.

Never short circuit batteries. When working with batteries, remove watches, rings or other metal objects, and only use insulated tools.

Battery replacement procedure (ML 350/500/700)

NOTE: This procedure refers to the ML 350/500/700 models only. The batteries of the ML 1000 are not user replaceable, please contact your dealer.

1press keypad “OFF’ and remove the UPS input power cord from the AC mains supply

2 remove UPS front panel (two screws on bottom side)

3 pull out the battery and disconnect the battery wires

4 connect the new battery (black -, red +); small sparks can occur, this is normal 5 reinstall the new battery, do not pinch or clamp the wires
