Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect the warranty.

UPS Location Warnings

Use caution when lifting the UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all rackmount UPS systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.

Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.

For best performance, the ambient temperature near the UPS should be between 0° C and 40° C (between 32° F and 104° F).

Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its vents or fan openings.

When mounting the UPS system in a tower orientation, make sure the LCD Screen panel is at the top of the UPS, not at the bottom.

Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner will seriously inhibit the unit’s internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered under warranty.

UPS Connection Warnings

The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.

Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS’s plug in a way that would eliminate the UPS’s connection to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS’s connection to ground.

Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.

If you are connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting the UPS to a generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.

Equipment Connection Warnings

Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of the UPS. This might damage the UPS and may affect the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
