RECAUTIONS
Read this manual thoroughly, paying special attention to the sections that apply to you, before
working with the UPS. Retain this manual for use by installing personnel.
Under typical operation and with all UPS doors closed, only normal safety precautions are neces-
sary. The area around the UPS system should be kept free from puddles of water, excess moisture,
or debris.
Special safety precautions are required for procedures involving handling, installation, and mainte-
nance of the UPS system or the battery. Observe all safety precautions in this manual before han-
dling or installing the UPS system. Observe all precautions in the Operation and Maintenance
Manual, before as well as during performance of all maintenance procedures. Observe all battery
safety precautions before working on or near the battery.
This equipment contains several circuits that are energized with high voltage. Only test
equipment designated for troubleshooting should be used. This is particularly true for oscilloscopes.
Always check with an AC and DC voltmeter to ensure safety before making contact or using tools.
Even when the power is turned Off, dangerously high potentials may exist at the capacitor banks
and at the batteries.
ONLY qualified service personnel should perform maintenance on the UPS system.
When performing maintenance with any part of the equipment under power, service personnel and
test equipment should be standing on rubber mats. The service personnel should wear insulating
shoes for isolation from direct contact with the floor (earth ground).
Unless all power is removed from the equipment, one person should never work alone. A second
person should be standing by to assist and summon help in case an accident should occur.
Four types of messages are used throughout the manual to stress important text. Carefully read the
text below each Danger, Warning, Caution, and Note and use professional skills and prudent care
when performing the actions described by that text.
