UK

1.1 Intended use

This unit serves as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for connected loads. The unit is in compliance with all
relevant safety regulations concerning information technology equipment, for use in an offi ce environment.
Depending on the type and rating of the UPS unit, certain confi gurations of battery extensions may be connected.
These battery packs may only be connected to the compatible basic UPS unit.

1.2 General Warnings

WARNING: We consider the safety of personnel to be of paramount importance. For this reason, it is essential
that procedures relating to safety in this manual be carefully reviewed before commencing work, and properly
adhered to thereafter. The User or Operator may intervene in the operation of the UPS provided that the
instructions laid out in the section 3 ("Setup and Installation") are strictly followed.
WARNING: Even when all switches and/or circuit breakers are open, dangerous voltages are present within this
unit. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Only factory authorized personnel may carry out any operation
that requires protection panels to be opened and/or removed. Any repairs or modifi cations by the user may
result in out-of-warranty repair charges, unsafe electrical conditions or violation of electrical codes.
WARNING: In order to comply with UL requirements, a disconnection device shall be available at the UPS
output (note: the output plug can be considered as a disconnection device).
WARNING: In order to comply with UL requirements; to reduce the risk of fi re, connect the UPS input only
to a circuit provided with branch circuit overcurrent protection for 20 amperes rating in accordance with the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70)

1.3 Safety Notices

WARNING: Read the following safety notices carefully! Disregard of these safety notices may endanger your
life, your health, the reliability of your unit and the security of your data.
- Transport the unit only in suitable packaging (protected against jolts and shocks).
- If the UPS is moved from a cold environment to a warmer operating location, condensation may occur. Before
you switch on the unit it must be absolutely dry. An acclimatization period of at least two hours is required.
- The UPS must be installed in accordance with the environmental conditions specifi ed in sections 3.6 and
3.10.
- Even with all buttons in "OFF" position, the unit (UPS) is not isolated from the mains. To isolate completely
from the mains, the input power cord must be disconnected.
- This unit services power from more than one source. The output terminals and/or receptacles may have
voltage present even when the unit is unplugged. UPS's present a different safety issue than most electrical
equipment because unplugging the unit puts it into battery mode. Unplugging the UPS does not remove
electrical charge.
- In case of interruption of the mains voltage, the integrated battery maintains the power supply to the user's
equipment.
- Place all cords so that nobody can stand on them or trip over them. When connecting the unit to the power
supply, follow the instructions in section 3 ("Setup and Installation").
- Make sure that no objects (e.g. necklaces, paper clips, etc) get inside the unit.
- In emergencies (e.g. damaged case, controls or power cables, penetration of liquids or foreign bodies) switch
off the unit, disconnect from mains and contact the responsible customer service representative.
- Do not connect equipment that will overload the UPS or demand DC current.
- When cleaning the unit, follow the instructions in section 6 ("Maintenance").
- Data transmission lines should not be connected or disconnected during a thunderstorm.
- The sum of the leakage currents (currents in the earth conductor) from the UPS and connected loads must
not exceed the value of 3.5 mA.
- Remote Power Off (RPO) and Remote On Off (ROO) terminals are located on the rear side of the unit (see
section 4.4.8) When the relevant connections are open, the logic circuit will immediately shut down the UPS
output.
- When installing units in racks, do not allow racks to become "top heavy". Install heaviest equipment (typically
the UPS and batteries) near bottom of rack, and install this equipment before installing equipment higher in
