Product Handling Guidelines

Safety and General Information

General safety

Adhere to all national and local electrical codes.
This UPS is intended for indoor use only. To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of conductive contaminants.
Mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS shall be installed near the UPS and shall be easily accessible.
UPS must be connected to an earthed mains socket outlet.
CAUTION This UPS is designed to satisfy all of requirement of PCs only.
CAUTION Risk of electric shock, do not remove the chassis cover. Servicing should be performed by Qualified Engineer.

Battery safety

CAUTION

HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE

Replace the battery at least every 5 years.
Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.
Replace battery at the end of its service life.
Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the
Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates a battery over-temperature condition, or UPS internal over-temperature, or when there is evidence of electrolyte leakage. Power off the UPS, unplug it from the AC input, and disconnect the batteries. Do not operate the UPS until the batteries have been replaced.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury

Servicing of user replaceable batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and required precautions. In this case batteries are not user replaceable.
When replacing battery the UPS must be OFF, and its AC inlet unplugged.
CAUTION Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
CAUTION Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Do not open or mutilate batteries. They contain an electrolyte that is toxic and harmful to the skin and eyes.
CAUTION A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries.
a. Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
b. Use tools with insulated handles.
c. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
d. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
e. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
f. Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from 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.
CAUTION The UPS contains internal batteries and may present a shock hazard even when disconnected from AC power.
CAUTION Risk of electric shock, Battery Circuit is not isolated from AC input, hazardous voltage may exist between battery terminals and ground. Test before touching.
