This UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may carry
live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.

S

For 220–240V models, the output receptacles may remain electrically live. If the input
power source in your application is wired line-to-neutral (as in most European
applications), the voltage to the output receptacles is 0V. With line-to-line input wiring,
the voltage to the output receptacles is 100–120V (measured from line-to-ground or
line-to-neutral, depending on the UPS wiring).

S

Do not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes the
safety ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS.

S

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and humidity
controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient temperature
must not exceed 40

°C (104°F). Do not operate near water or excessive humidity (95%

maximum).

S

To comply with international standards and wiring regulations, the total equipment
connected to the output of this UPS must not have an earth leakage current greater than
1.5 milliamperes.

S

The wall outlet must be within 2 meters of the equipment and accessible to the operator.

S

Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short-circuit current. The
following precautions should be observed: 1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal
objects; 2) Use tools with insulated handles; 3) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of
batteries; 4) Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.

S

Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal
requirements.

S

Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to flame.

S

Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the
skin and eyes and may be extremely toxic.

S

Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in
the UPS.

S

If the UPS requires any type of transportation, disconnect the internal UPS batteries
before transporting (see page 17).
