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.

Per IEC 62040-1: "Uninterruptible power systems (UPS) -- Part 1: Safety Requirements," this equipment, including battery access, must be inspected, installed and maintained by a skilled person.

The skilled person is a person with relevant education and experience to enable him or her to perceive risks and to avoid hazards which the equipment can create (reference IEC 62040-1, section 3.102).

Safety Precautions

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH All safety instructions in this document must be read, understood and followed. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Read all instructions in the Installation Manual before installing or working on this UPS system. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH The UPS system must be installed according to local and national regulations. Install the UPS according to: IEC 60364 (including 60364–4–41- protection against electric shock, 60364–4–42 - protection against thermal effect, and 60364–4–43 - protection against overcurrent), or NEC NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1, Part 1) 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

The UPS system must be installed according to local and national regulations. Install the UPS according to:

IEC 60364 (including 60364–4–41- protection against electric shock, 60364–4–42 - protection against thermal effect, and 60364–4–43 - protection against overcurrent), or
NEC NFPA 70, or
Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1, Part 1)

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 Do not make mechanical changes to the product (including removal of cabinet parts or drilling/cutting of holes) that are not described in the Installation Manual. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE
risk of overheating Respect the space requirements around the UPS system and do not cover the product’s ventilation openings when the UPS system is in operation. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

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 utility/mains supply. Before installing or servicing the UPS system, ensure that the units are OFF and that utility/mains and batteries are disconnected. Wait five minutes before opening the UPS to allow the capacitors to discharge. A disconnection device (e.g. disconnection circuit breaker or switch) must be installed to enable isolation of the system from upstream power sources in accordance with local regulations. This disconnection device must be easily accessible and visible. The UPS must be properly earthed/grounded and due to a high touch current/leakage current, the earthing/grounding conductor must be connected first. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Always perform correct Lockout/Tagout before working on the UPS. A UPS with autostart enabled will automatically restart when the mains supply returns. If autostart is enabled on the UPS, a label must be added on the UPS to warn about this functionality. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Add the label below on the UPS if autostart has been enabled:

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Autostart is enabled. The UPS will automatically restart when the mains supply returns. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
