SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries.
The 9PX models that are covered in this manual are intended for installation in an environment within 0 to 40°C, free of conductive contaminant.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipmentgenerates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Safety of persons

The system has its own power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized even if the system is disconnected from the AC power source. Dangerous voltage levels are present within the system. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service personnel.
The system must be properly grounded at all times.
The battery supplied with the system contains small amounts of toxic materials.
To avoid accidents, the directives listed below must be observed:
- Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions.
- When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs.
- Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
- Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very high.
Precautions must be taken for all handling:
- Wear rubber gloves and boots.
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
- Disconnect the charging source before connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
- Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the source from the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply circuit).

Product Safety

To connect the UPS, instructions, and operations described in the manual must be followed in the indicated order.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire, the unit connects only to a circuit provided with 20 or 30 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection by the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (US installations only).
Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC-powered system and to the actual electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the system.
For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible
Never install the system near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the system.
Never block the ventilation grates of the system.
Never expose the system to direct sunlight or a source of heat.
If the system must be stored before installation, storage must be in a dry place.
The admissible storage temperature range is -25ºC to +55ºC without batteries, 0°C to 40°C with batteries.
The system is not for use in a computer room AS DEFINED IN the Standard for the Protection of Information Technology Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75 (US installations only). Contact Eaton resellers to order a special battery kit, if needed to meet the ANSI/NFPA 75 requirement.
