Electrical safety
Warning: Hazardous voltages are present at the input of power systems. The DC output from
some rectifiers and batteries can have high voltage and high short-circuit current capacity that
may cause severe burns and electrical arcing.
Beforeworkingwithanylivebatteryorpowersystem,followtheseprecautions:
•Removeallmetallicjewelry,suchaswatches,rings,metalrimmedglasses,ornecklaces.
•Wearsafetyglasseswithsideshieldsatalltimesduringtheinstallation.
•UseOSHAapprovedinsulatedhandtools.Donotresttoolsontopofbatteries.
Warning: Lethal voltages are present within the power system. Always assume that an electrical
connection or conductor is energized. Check the circuit with a voltmeter with respect to the
grounded portion of the enclosure (both AC and DC) before performing any installation or removal
procedure.
•Donotworkaloneunderhazardousconditions.
•Alicensedelectricianisrequiredtoinstallpermanentlywiredequipment.Inputvoltagescanrange
upto480Vac.Ensurethattheutilitypowerisdisconnectedandlockedoutbeforeperformingany
installationorremovalprocedure.
•Ensurethatnoliquidsorwetclothescomeintocontactwithinternalcomponents.
•HazardouselectricallylivepartsinsidethisunitareenergizedfromthebatteriesevenwhentheAC
inputpowerisdisconnected.
•TheenclosurewhichcontainstheDCorACpowersystemalongwithcustomerinstalledradios
mustremainlockedatalltimes,exceptwhenauthorizedservicepersonnelarepresent.
•Alwaysassumeelectricalconnectionsorconductorsarelive.Turnoffallcircuitbreakersand
double-checkwithavoltmeterbeforeperforminginstallationormaintenance.
•Placeawarninglabelontheutilitypaneltowarnemergencypersonnelthatareservebattery

pack,enclosure,andinstalledequipment.
•Servicingandconnectionofbatteriesmustbeperformedby,orunderthedirectsupervisionof,
personnelknowledgeableofbatteriesandtherequiredsafetyprecautions.
•Batteriescontainoremitchemicalsknowntocausecancerandbirthdefectsorotherreproductive
harm.Batterypostterminalsandrelatedaccessoriescontainleadandleadcompounds.Wash
yourhandsafterhandlingbatteries.
Warning: Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery
systems. Do not smoke or introduce an open flame when batteries (especially vented batteries)
are charging. When charging, batteries vent hydrogen gas, which can explode.
•Batteriesarehazardoustotheenvironmentandshouldbedisposedatarecyclingfacility.Consult
thebatterymanufacturerforrecommendedlocalauthorizedrecyclers.
