1.5 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
• A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current
• Never dispose of batteries in a fire: they may explode
• Do not open or mutilate batteries: their contents may be extremely toxic. If exposed to electrolyte,
wash immediately with plenty of water
• The batteries must be disconnected during maintenance or service work.
• When replacing the batteries, use only the same type and size battery.
• The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
- Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
- Use tools with insulated handles.
- Wear rubber gloves and boots.
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
- Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
- Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source of
ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of
such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.
• Avoid charging in a sealed container.
NOTE
Do not attempt to service the UPS unless you have had proper training. Refer all
maintenance and servicing, except replacement of the batteries and plug-in cards,
to properly qualified, skilled and competent service personnel.
Qualified, skilled personnel are persons who (because of their training, experience, and position as well as
their knowledge of appropriate standards, regulations, health and safety requirements and working
conditions) are authorized to be responsible for the safety of the equipment, at all times whilst carrying out
their normal duties and are therefore aware of, and can report, possible hazards (observe IEC 60364 and
national wiring regulations and accident prevention rules).
