IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read before installing product.
Safety of Persons
The UPS has its own internal power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized 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. Measurements are required to ensure that the total leakage current of the UPS and the protected
equipment does not exceed 3.5 mA by checking their characteristics.
The battery supplied with the◗ UPS contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid accidents, the directives listed below
must be observed:
- 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.
- Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very high. Precautions must be taken
for all handling: remove watches, rings, bracelets and any other metal objects, use tools with insulated handles.
Product Safety
The UPS connection in◗structions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the indicated order.
UPS must be connected to a nearby wall outlet that is easily accessible. The UPS can be disconnected from the AC-power source by◗
removing the power cord.
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.
Never install the UPS near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.◗
Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the UPS.◗
Never block the ventilation grates of the UPS.◗
Never expose the UPS to direct sunlight or source of heat.◗
If the UPS must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.◗
The admissible storage temperature range is -25ºC to +55◗ºC
.
Special Precautions
Once installed an◗d connected to the AC power source for the first time, the battery will start to charge. Full charging to obtain the
rated battery backup time requires at least 8 hours.
Before and after the installation, if the UPS remains de-energized for a long period, the UPS must be energized for a period of 24◗
hours, at least once every 6 months (for a normal storage temperature less than 25°C). This charges the battery, thus avoiding
possible irreversible damage.
During the replacement of the battery module, it is imperative to use the same type and number of element previously mounted◗
in the UPS, in order to maintain an identical level of performance and safety. In case of doubt, don’t hesitate to contact our after
sales department (for more information, refer to the web site www.eaton.com).

Notes:
1. As soon as the UPS is powered, for Nova AVR 625/1250, the battery begins charging, whatever the On/Off
switch position. For Nova AVR 500, press On/Off switch about 1 second, battery begins charging.
2. If the utility power failure exceeds the battery backup time, UPS shutdown to prevent excessive battery
discharge. For Nova AVR 625/1250, UPS will restart as soon as utility returns. For Nova AVR 500, please press
On/Off switch about 1 second to restart UPS.
3. The overload breaker trip off during a severe overload. If this occurs, unplug excessive loads and reset circuit
breaker by pressing its reset button.
4. Do not connect non-computer type loads to Nova AVR outlets.
5. Battery Replacement
CAUTION:
Read and follow safety instructions before removing batteries. This must be done by qualified personnel
due to risk of high energy.
Switch off the UPS and disconnect it from utility power and critical loads◗
Remove watches, rings or other metal objects◗
Use tools with insulated handles◗
