1.4Batteries

•NOTE: Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

•When replacing the batteries, use only the same number, type and size battery: GP1272-F2 (CSB) or NP7-12(YUASA), LC-R127R2P(PANASONIC), BP7-12(BB) or HR1234W F2(CSB) or BP7-12(BB)GS7R2, HR9-12(BB).

•Avoid charging in a sealed container.

•CAUTION: Never dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

•CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. If exposed to electrolyte, wash immediately with plenty of water.

•CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:

-Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.

-Use tools with insulated handles.

-Wear rubber gloves and boots.

-Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

-Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.

-Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source of ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to UPS and external battery supply not having a grounded supply circuit).

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

1.5Transport/storage

•No liability can be accepted for any transport damage when the equipment is shipped in non-original packaging.

•Store the UPS in a dry location with the batteries in a fully charged state. Storage temperature must be within -20 and +45 °C (-4°F and 113°F). If the unit is stored for a period exceeding 3 months, optimal battery lifetime is obtained if the storage temperature does not exceed 25°C (77°F).

•If the unit is stored for an extended period of time, the batteries must be recharged periodically. Connect the unit to a working wall outlet and recharge the batteries for

24 hours:

-Storage temperature within -20 and +30°C (-4°F and 86°F): every 3 months,

-Storage temperature within -20 and +45°C (-4°F and 113°F): every month.
