Safety rules
Safety of persons
The UPS must be installed in a room with restricted access (qualified personnel only, according to standard EN50091-1-2). 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 directives listed below must be observed. ◗ Never operate the UPS if the ambient temperature and relative humidity are higher than the levels specifiedin 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. ◗ Avoid contact with the cooling liquid (eyes and skin). If contact occurs, rinse well with water.

Product safety
A protection circuit breaker must be installedupstream 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.

Special precautions
◗ The UPS connection instructions contained in this manual must be followed in the indicatedorder. ◗ 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 -10° C to +45° C. ◗ If the UPS remains de-energised for a long period, we recommendthat 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 as defined in the "appendices" chapter: altitude, ambient operating temperature, relative humidity and ambient transport and storage conditions. ◗ Using the UPS within...
