The following safety messages may appear throughout this manual or on the equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that clarifies or simplifies a procedure.

	The addition of this symbol to a “Danger” or “Warning” safety message indicates that an electrical hazard exists which will result in personal injury if the instructions are not followed.
	This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages with this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

DANGER
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

NOTICE
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury. The safety alert symbol shall not be used with this type of safety message. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Please Note

Electrical equipment should only be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained by qualified personnel. No responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of the use of this material.

A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction, installation, and operation of electrical equipment and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

NOTICE
Risk of electromagnetic disturbance This is a product Category C3 according to IEC 62040-2. This is a product for commercial and industrial applications in the second environment - installation restrictions or additional measures may be needed to prevent disturbances. The second environment includes all commercial, light industry, and industrial locations other than residential, commercial, and light industrial premises directly connected without intermediate transformer to a public low-voltage mains supply. The installation and cabling must follow the electromagnetic compatibility rules, e.g.: the segregation of cables, the use of shielded or special cables when relevant, the use of grounded metallic cable tray and supports. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

depending on which one of the standards apply in your local area.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Install the product in a temperature controlled indoor environment free of conductive contaminants and humidity. Install the product on a non-flammable, level and solid surface (e.g. concrete) that can support the weight of the system. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash The product is not designed for and must therefore not be installed in the following unusual operating environments: Damaging fumes Explosive mixtures of dust or gases, corrosive gases, or conductive or radiant heat from other sources Moisture, abrasive dust, steam or in an excessively damp environment Fungus, insects, vermin Salt-laden air or contaminated cooling refrigerant Pollution degree higher than 2 according to IEC 60664-1 Exposure to abnormal vibrations, shocks, and tilting Exposure to direct sunlight, heat sources, or strong electromagnetic fields Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER

Electrical Safety

DANGER
hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Electrical equipment must be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel. Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. Turn off all power supplying the UPS system before working on or inside the equipment. Before working on the UPS system, check for hazardous voltage between all terminals including the protective earth. The UPS contains an internal energy source. Hazardous voltage can be present even when disconnected from the mains supply. Before installing or servicing the UPS system, ensure that the units are OFF and that mains and batteries are disconnected. Wait five minutes before opening the UPS to allow the capacitors to discharge. The UPS must be properly earthed/grounded and due to a high leakage current, the earthing/grounding conductor must be connected first. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
