• Condensation may occur if the UPS system is moved directly from cold to warm environment. The UPS system must be absolutely dry before being installed. Please allow at least two hours for the UPS system to acclimate the environment.
• Do not install the UPS system near water or in moist environments.
• Do not install the UPS system where it would be exposed to direct sunlight or near heater.
• Do not block ventilation holes in the UPS housing.

Installation

• Do not connect appliances or devices which would overload the UPS system (e.g. laser printers) to the UPS output sockets.
• Place cables in such a way that no one can step on or trip over them.
• Do not connect domestic appliances such as hair dryers to UPS output sockets.
• The UPS can be operated by any individuals with no previous experience.
• Connect the UPS system only to an earthed shockproof outlet which must be easily accessible and close to the UPS system.
• Please use only VDE-tested, CE-marked mains cable (e.g. the mains cable of your computer) to connect the UPS system to the building wiring outlet (shockproof outlet).
• Please use only VDE-tested, CE-marked power cables to connect the loads to the UPS system.
• When installing the equipment, it should ensure that the sum of the leakage current of the UPS and the connected devices does not exceed 3.5mA.

Operation

• Do not disconnect the mains cable on the UPS system or the building wiring outlet
  (shockproof socket outlet) during operations since this would cancel the protective earthing of the UPS system and of all connected loads.

• The UPS system features its own, internal current source (batteries). The UPS output sockets or output terminals block may be electrically live even if the UPS system is

• not connected to the building wiring outlet.

• In order to fully disconnect the UPS system, first press the OFF/Enter button to disconnect the mains.

• Prevent no fluids or other foreign objects from inside of the UPS system.

Maintenance, service and faults

• The UPS system operates with hazardous voltages. Repairs may be carried out only by qualified maintenance personnel.
• Caution – risk of electric shock. Even after the unit is disconnected from the mains (building wiring outlet), components inside the UPS system are still connected to the battery and electrically live and dangerous.
• Before carrying out any kind of service and/or maintenance, disconnect the batteries and verify that no current is present and no hazardous voltage exists in the terminals of high capability capacitor such as BUS-capacitors.
• Only persons are adequately familiar with batteries and with the required precautionary measures may replace batteries and supervise operations. Unauthorized persons must be kept well away from the batteries.
• Caution – r isk of electric shock. The battery circuit is not isolated from the input voltage. Hazardous voltages may occur between the battery terminals and the ground. Before touching, please verify that no voltage is present!
• Batteries may cause electric shock and have a high short-circuit current. Please take the precautionary measures specified below and any other measures necessary when working with batteries:
  • remove wristwatches, rings and other metal objects
  • use only tools with insulated grips and handles.
• When changing batteries, install the same number and same type of batteries.
• Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them. This could cause battery explosion.
• Do not open or destroy batteries. Escaping electrolyte can cause injury to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
• Please replace the fuse only with the same type and amperage in order to avoid fire hazards.
• Do not dismantle the UPS system.
