Safety of persons
 RISK OF VOLTAGE BACKFEED. The system has its own power source (the
battery). Isolate the UPS and check for hazardous voltage upstream and
downstream during lockout-tagout operation. Terminal blocks may be
energized even if the system is disconnected from the AC power source.
 Dangerous voltage levels are present within the system. It should be opened
exclusively by qualified service personnel.
 The system must be properly grounded.
 The battery supplied with the system contains small amounts of toxic
materials. To avoid accidents, the directives listed below must be observed:
- Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions.
- When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of
batteries or battery packs.
- Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
- Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit
current may be very high.
 Precautions must be taken for all handling:
- Wear rubber gloves and boots.
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
- Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.
- Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded,
remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery
can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if
such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable
to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply
circuit).
Product safety
 The UPS connection instructions and operation described in the manual must
be followed in the indicated order.
 CAUTION - To reduce the risk of fire, the unit connects only to a circuit
provided with branch circuit overcurrent protection for :
63A rating, for 6kVA models,
100A rating, for 10kVA models
The upstream circuit breaker for Normal AC/Bypass AC must be easily

accessible. The unit can be disconnected from AC power source by opening this
circuit breaker.
 An additional AC contactor is used for backfeed protection and must comply
with IEC/EN 62040-1 (the creep age and clearance distances shall meet the
basic insulation requirements for pollution degree 2).
 Disconnection and overcurrent protection devices shall be provided by others
for permanently connected AC input (Normal AC/Bypass AC) and AC output
circuits.
 Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC powered
system and to the actual electrical consumption of all the equipment to be
connected to the system.
 For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible
 Never install the system near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
 Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the system.
 Never block the ventilation grates of the system.
 Never expose the system to direct sunlight or source of heat.
 If the system must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry
place.
 The admissible storage temperature range is -25°C to +60°C with battery(-15°C
to +40°C without battery).
Special precautions
 The unit is heavy: wear safety shoes and use vacuum lifter preferentially for
handling operations.
 All handling operations will require at least two people (unpacking, lifting,
installation in rack system).
 Straps are provided only for unpacking manually the unit from the carton;
don’t use the straps to carry the unit around. The unit can slip from the straps
during handling (risk of injury and product damage):
- keep 12in / 30cm minimum distance between the straps
- lift the unit carefully and keep it at low height
- keep the unit horizontal during unpacking.
 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 as the original Battery Module provided with the
UPS to maintain an identical level of performance and safety.
