Maintaining the UPS System

W A R N I N G

Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the battery

installation and maintenance. Risk of electrical shock.

The components inside the UPS cabinet are secured to a sturdy metal frame that is

supported by the UPS magnetics. This design allows authorized service personnel to

remove repairable components with very little disassembly. All repairable parts and

assemblies are located in the front of the UPS, allowing all routine maintenance and

servicing to be performed with front panel access.

You must schedule periodic performance checks of your UPS to keep it running properly.

Regular routine checks of operation and system parameters will enable your UPS system to

function efficiently for many trouble-free years.

8.1 Important Safety Instructions

Remember that your UPS is designed to supply power EVEN WHEN DISCONNECTED FROM

THE UTILITY POWER. The UPS interior is unsafe until the DC power source is disconnected

and the electrolytic capacitors are discharged. After disconnecting the utility power and

the DC power, authorized service personnel should wait at least five minutes before

attempting internal access to the UPS system.
