Safety Considerations

The UPS enclosures are designed for industrial or computer room applications,

and contain safety shields behind the doors. However, the UPS is a sophisticated

power system and should be handled with appropriate care, following these

guidelines:

•

Keep surroundings clean and free from excess moisture.

•

Do not operate the UPS close to gas or electric heat sources.

•

The system is not intended for outdoor use.

•

The UPS operating environment should be maintained within the

parameters stated in this manual.

•

Keep the UPS doors closed to ensure proper cooling airflow and to protect

personnel from dangerous voltages inside the unit.

•

The UPS contains its own power source. Lethal voltages are present even

when the UPS is disconnected from utility power.

WARNING:

Only AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL should perform service or

maintenance on the UPS or battery.

If service or routine UPS maintenance is required:

•

Ensure all power is disconnected before performing installation or service.

•

Ensure the area around the UPS system is clean and uncluttered.

•

Battery cabinet maintenance or battery replacement should be performed

only by authorized service personnel.

•

Observe all DANGER, CAUTION, and WARNING notices affixed to the

inside and outside of the equipment.

•

Always conform to the more detailed safety precautions described in

“Important Safety Instructions” section of Chapter 15.
