APC MGE GALAXY 5000 40 130KVA - Manual (Page 11)

Safety Rules
Safety of persons
The UPS must be installed in a room with restricted access (qualified personnel only). A UPS has its own external
power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized even if the UPS is disconnected from
the AC-power source.
Dangerous voltage levels are present within the UPS. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service
personnel.
The UPS must be properly grounded.
The battery supplied with the UPS contains small amounts of toxic materials.
To avoid accidents, the instructions below must be observed.
◗ Never operate the UPS if the ambient temperature and relative humidity are higher than the levels specified
in the documentation.
◗ Never burn the battery (risk of explosion).
◗ Do not attempt to open the battery (the electrolyte is dangerous for the eyes and skin).
◗ Comply with all applicable regulations for the disposal of the battery.
◗ Caution, wait five minutes before opening the UPS to allow the capacitors to discharge.
◗ Caution, there is high leakage current, the grounding conductor must be connected first.
◗ The product must be installed on a non-inflammable surface (e.g. concrete).
◗ Caution, battery replacement must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Product safety
A protection circuit breaker must be installed upstream and downstream, and be easily accessible.
◗ Never install the UPS near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
◗ Never let a liquid or foreign body penetrate inside the UPS.
◗ Never block the ventilation grates of the UPS.
◗ Never expose the UPS to direct sunlight or a source of heat.
◗ When replacing battery cells, use the same type and number of cells.
Special precautions
◗ The UPS connection instructions contained in this manual must be followed in the indicated order.
◗ Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC-power system and to the actual electrical
consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the UPS.
◗ If the UPS must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
◗ The admissible storage temperature range is -25°C to +45°C.
◗ If the UPS remains de-energized for a long period, we recommend that you energize the UPS for a period of 24
hours, at least every three months. This charges the battery, thus avoiding possible irreversible damage.
◗ The UPS is designed for normal climatic and environmental operating conditions concerning the altitude, ambient
operating temperature, relative humidity and ambient transport and storage conditions.
◗ Using the UPS within the given limits guarantees its operation, but may affect the service life of certain compo-
nents, particularly that of the battery and its autonomy. The maximum storage time of the UPS is limited due to the
need to recharge the battery.
◗ Unusual operating conditions may justify special design or protection measures:
- harmful smoke, dust, abrasive dust,
- humidity, vapor, salt air, bad weather or dripping,
- explosive dust and gas mixture,
- extreme temperature variations,
- bad ventilation,
- conductive or radiant heat from other sources,
- strong electromagnetic fields,
- radioactive levels higher than those of the natural environment,
- fungus, insects, vermin, etc.,
- battery operating conditions.
