THE UPS SHOULD BE SERVICED ONLY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
WHEN NOT IN SERVICE, THE UPS BATTERIES SHOULD BE CHARGED AT LEAST
ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS TO ENSURE OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE AND
BATTERY LIFE.
THE UPS SHOULD BE INSTALLED UPRIGHT, IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA THAT
IS FREE OF DUST AND MOISTURE.
VERIFY THE VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EQUIPMENT TO BE PROTECTED
(LOAD), THE AC INPUT TO THE UPS (LINE), AND THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF THE
UPS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
THE UTILITY SERVICE PANEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH A CIRCUIT BREAKER
THAT IS RATED (AMPERAGE) FOR USE WITH THE UPS.
NOTIFY FIRE OR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL THAT AN UPS IS INSTALLED IN THE
BUILDING BY PLACING A NOTIFICATION OR WARNING LABEL ON THE ELECTRI-
CAL PANEL.
WHEN CONNECTING A LOAD TO THE UPS REAR PANEL, DO NOT EXCEED THE
OUTPUT RATING OF THE UPS.
USE PROPER LIFTING TECHNIQUES WHENEVER HANDLING THE UPS OR AN
EXTERNAL BATTERY PACK.
THE UPS CONTAINS MORE THAN ONE LIVE CIRCUIT. EVEN THOUGH AC IS NOT
PRESENT AT THE INPUT, IT MAY BE PRESENT AT THE OUTPUT.
ALWAYS SWITCH THE UPS BATTERY CIRCUIT BREAKER TO OFF BEFORE
CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING AN EXTERNAL BATTERY PACK. THIS
GREATLY REDUCES THE CHANCE OF SPARK.
THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT OF THE UPS CONTAINS DANGEROUS VOLT-
AGES. BATTERY INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE PERFORMED
ONLY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
WEAR INSULATED GLOVES AND EYE PROTECTION WHENEVER WORKING
INSIDE THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT.
DO NOT ALLOW LIVE BATTERY WIRES TO CONTACT THE UPS CHASSIS.
SHORTING BATTERY WIRES COULD RESULT IN A FIRE OR POSSIBLE EXPLO-
SION.
BATTERIES SHOULD BE INSPECTED EVERY YEAR FOR SIGNS OF CRACKS,
LEAKING OR SWELLING.
ALWAYS REPLACE BATTERIES WITH THOSE OF AN IDENTICAL TYPE AND
RATING. NEVER INSTALL OLD OR UNTESTED BATTERIES.
AVOID USING UNINSULATED TOOLS OR OTHER CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS
WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES OR WORKING INSIDE THE UPS.
REMOVE ALL RINGS, WATCHES AND OTHER JEWELRY BEFORE SERVICING
BATTERIES.
SPENT BATTERIES ARE CONSIDERED ENVIRONMENTALLY UNSAFE. ALWAYS
