Special precautions

The UPS must be installed in a room with restricted access (qualified personnel only, according to standard 62040-1-2).

A UPS has its own internal power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energised even if the UPS is

disconnected from the AC-power source.

Dangerous voltage levels are present within the UPS. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service personnel.

The UPS must be properly earthed.

The battery supplied with the UPS contains small amounts of toxic materials.

To avoid accidents, the instructions below must be observed.

◗ Never operate the UPS if the ambient temperature and relative humidity are higher than the levels specified in the

documentation.

◗ Never burn the battery (risk of explosion).

◗ Do not attempt to open the battery (the electrolyte is dangerous for the eyes and skin).

◗ Comply with all applicable regulations for the disposal of the battery.

◗ Caution, wait five minutes before opening the UPS to allow the capacitors to discharge.

◗ Caution, there is high leakage current, the earthing conductor must be connected first.

◗ The product must be installed on a non-inflammable surface (e.g. concrete).

◗ Caution, battery replacement must be carried out by qualified personnel.

A protection circuit breaker must be installed upstream and be easily accessible.

◗ Never install the UPS near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.

◗ Never let a liquid or foreign body penetrate inside the UPS.

◗ Never block the ventilation grates of the UPS.

◗ Never expose the UPS to direct sunlight or a source of heat.

◗ When replacing battery cells, use the same type and number of cells.

◗ The UPS connection instructions contained in this manual must be followed in the indicated order.

◗ Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC-power system and to the actual electrical consumption

of all the equipment to be connected to the UPS.

◗ If the UPS must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.

◗ The admissible storage temperature range is -25° C to +45° C.

◗ If the UPS remains de-energised for a long period, we recommend that you energise the UPS for a period of 24 hours, at

least once every month. This charges the battery, thus avoiding possible irreversible damage.

◗ The UPS is designed for normal climatic and environmental operating conditions concerning the altitude, ambient operating

temperature, relative humidity and ambient transport and storage conditions.

◗ Using the UPS within the given limits guarantees its operation, but may affect the service life of certain components,

particularly that of the battery and its autonomy. The maximum storage time of the UPS is limited due to the need to recharge

its integrated battery.

◗ Unusual operating conditions may justify special design or protection measures:

- harmful smoke, dust, abrasive dust,

- humidity, vapour, salt air, bad weather or dripping,

- explosive dust and gas mixture,

- extreme temperature variations,

- bad ventilation,

- conductive or radiant heat from other sources,

- cooling water containing acid or impurities which may cause scale, silt, electrolysis or corrosion of converter parts exposed

to water,

- strong electromagnetic fields,

- radioactive levels higher than those of the natural environment,

- fungus, insects, vermin, etc.,

- battery operating conditions.

◗ The UPS must always be installed in compliance with:

◗ the requirements of standard IEC 60364-4-42: Protection from thermal effects.

◗ standard IEC 60364-4-41: Protection from electric shock.

◗ standard IEC 60364-4-482: Electrical installations of buildings.

◗ in France, the requirements of standard NFC 15-100.
