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 When replacing batteries, always replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
risk of equipment damage Mount the batteries in the UPS system, but do not connect the batteries until the UPS system is ready to be powered up. The time duration from battery connection until the UPS system is powered up must not exceed 72 hours or 3 days. Batteries must not be stored more than six months due to the requirement of recharging. If the UPS system remains de-energized for a long period, we recommend that you energize the UPS system for a period of 24 hours at least once every month. This charges the batteries, thus avoiding irreversible damage. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
