Electrical Safety

This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of the UPS system.

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. Disconnection devices for AC and DC must be provided by others, be readily accessible, and the function of the disconnect device marked for its function. 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.

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

The label below must be added if:

The UPS input is connected through external isolators that, when opened, isolate the neutral, OR
The UPS input is connected via an IT power system.

The label must be placed adjacent to all upstream power disconnection devices that isolate the neutral.

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Risk of voltage backfeed. Before working on this circuit: Isolate the UPS and check for hazardous voltage between all terminals including the protective earth. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
