1.0SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read this manual thoroughly, paying special attention to the sections that apply to you, before working with the UPS. Retain this manual for use by installing personnel.
Under typical operation and with all UPS doors closed, only normal safety precautions are neces- sary. The area around the UPS system should be kept free from puddles of water, excess mois- ture, or debris.
Special safety precautions are required for procedures involving handling, installation, and main- tenance of the UPS system or the battery. Observe all safety precautions in this manual before handling or installing the UPS system. Observe all precautions in the Operation and Mainte- nance Manual, before as well as during performance of all maintenance procedures. Observe all battery safety precautions before working on or near the battery.
This equipment contains several circuits that are energized with high voltage. Only test equipment designated for troubleshooting should be used. This is particularly true for oscillo- scopes. Always check with an AC and DC voltmeter to ensure safety before making contact or using tools. Even when the power is turned Off, dangerously high potentials may exist at the capacitor banks and at the batteries.
ONLY qualified service personnel should perform maintenance on the UPS system. When performing maintenance with any part of the equipment under power, service personnel and test equipment should be standing on rubber mats. The service personnel should wear insu- lating shoes for isolation from direct contact with the floor (earth ground).
Unless all power is removed from the equipment, one person should never work alone. A second person should be standing by to assist and summon help in case an accident should occur.
