1-5. Maintenance, service and faults
• The voltage used by this UPS may be hazardous. The unit contains no user serviceable parts; do not attempt to disassemble the unit.
Only qualified service technicians can perform maintenance on the unit. Failure to adhere to this could cause personal injury or
equipment malfunction and void the warranty.
• Caution: - risk of electric shock. Even after the unit is disconnected from the mains, components inside the UPS system are still
connected to the battery packs which are potentially dangerous.
• Before carrying out any kind of service and/or maintenance, disconnect the batteries and verify that no current is present and no
hazardous voltage exists in the terminals of high capacity capacitors, such as BUS-capacitors. Servicing of batteries should be
performed or supervised by experts who possess the knowledge to closely follow all required precautions.
• To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and unplug it form the AC power source before servicing the battery.
• Caution: potentially hazardous voltages from the battery can still be present even after disconnecting the UPS from the AC mains.
Therefore, the positive and negative terminals of the battery shall de disconnected prior to performing any maintenance or repair
inside the unit.
• A battery can present the risk of short-circuit current and electrical shock. The following precautions should be taken:
- Remove wristwatches, rings and other metal objects

- Use only tools with insulated grips and handles.
- 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.
• When replacing the battery, make sure to use the same type and number of sealed lead-acid batteries specified.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode if exposed to high temperatures.
• Never try to open a battery. The cell contains a toxic electrolyte which is harmful to the skin and eyes.
• Replace the fuse only with the same type and amperage in order to avoid fire hazards.
• Do not dismantle the UPS system.

Remove excess loads from the UPS
output
UPS is overloaded. Devices
connected to the UPS are fed
directly from utility power via the
Bypass
Remove excess loads from the UPS
output first. Shut down the UPS com-
pletely before restarting the unit once
again
After repetitive overloads, the UPS
is locked in Bypass mode. Connect-
ed devices are fed directly from
utility power
Remove excess loads from the UPS
output and restart the unit once again
The UPS shuts down automatically
upon detecting the overload condi-
tion in the output
Fault code 14 becomes illuminated
and the alarm starts beeping
continuously
Check the output wiring and if connect-
ed devices are short-circuited

and 41 become illuminated on the
LCD display, and the alarm starts
beeping continuously
Please contact the dealer or service
center
The UPS shuts down automatically
upon detecting the overload condi-
tion in the output
A UPS internal fault has occurred.
There are two possible causes:
1. Power is continued to be supplied
to the load, but is done directly from
the AC grid via a bypass
2. Power is no longer supplied to
the load
