THE ALPHA CFR
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Carefully unpack the unit. Report any shipping damage immediately.
Please read the operators manual. If you have any questions regarding the safe
installation of the unit, contact Alpha Technologies.
The unit should be serviced only by qualified personnel.
The unit 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 battery circuit breaker to off before connecting or disconnecting an
external battery pack. This greatly reduces the chance of spark.
For units with a detachable AC line cord, connect a dedicated grounding wire (14 AWG/
2.0 mm
2 ) from the ground lug on the back of the unit to an electrical ground point. This
wire should be rated 75 O C minimum, with green insulation provided with one or more
yellow stripes. This will provide a safety ground connection to the unit and all of its
attached equipment, even when the AC line cord is unplugged.
The connections on the back of this unit are not for use with telephone network connec-
tions.
The standard unit, with line cord and receptacles, may be installed by a non-technical
user.
Units equipped with terminal block input or output connectors, or external battery packs,
must be installed by qualified service personnel in accordance with the following table:
MODEL TERMINAL BLOCKS TIGHTENING TORQUE
AWG mm 2 Inch Newton
Pounds Meters
1500 RM 14 2.0 35 4.0
When not in service, the batteries should be charged at least once every three months to
ensure optimum performance and battery life. For units with line cords, simply plug the
unit’s power cord into a wall receptacle and leave it running for one to three days.
The unit should be installed upright in a well ventilated area that is free of dust and
moisture.
Alert Fire or Emergency personnel than an uninterruptible power supply is installed in the
building by placing a notification or warning label on the electrical panel.
When connecting a load to the units’ rear panel, do not exceed the output rating of the
unit.
8. WARRANTY
Alpha Technologies warrants its equipment to be free of manufacturing defects in
material and workmanship for a period of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
The liability of Alpha Technologies under this warranty is solely limited to repairing,
replacing, or issuing credit for such equipment (at the discretion of Alpha Technolo-
gies), provided that:
1. Alpha Technologies’ Customer Service Department is promptly notified, by
facsimile or telephone, that a failure or defect has occurred.
2. Alpha Technologies’ Customer Service Department issues a Return Materials
Authorization (RMA) number, and designates the service location. The RMA must
be clearly marked on the outside of the shipping container.
3. Purchaser is responsible for all in-bound shipping and handling charges (COD
and freight collect will not be accepted without prior approval from Alpha Technolo-
gies); Alpha Technologies will pay out-bound surface shipping charges for return
of repaired equipment.
4. A satisfactory examination of the returned unit by Alpha Technologies’ Service
personnel shall disclose that defects have not been caused by misuse, neglect,
improper installation, repair, alteration, or accident, or failure to follow instructions
furnished by Alpha Technologies. If Alpha Technologies’ Service personnel
determine that the unit has been damaged due to one of these causes, or if the unit
is free of defects, a handling or repair fee may be assessed prior to returning the
unit.

SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITH-
OUT LIMITATION ANY CLAIM FOR LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, EVEN IF
ALPHA TECHNOLOGIES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH,
FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
Any action for breach of this limited 24-month warranty must be brought within a
period of 24 months from date of manufacture.
This limited 24-month warranty does not extend to any unit that has been repaired
or altered by any party other than Alpha Technologies or its Authorized Service
Center.
Alpha Technologies reserves the right to discontinue particular models and to
make modifications in design and/or function at any time, without notice and without
