2. Safety Warning
DANGER:
This ION UPS contains high voltage. All repairs and service should be performed
by authorised service personnel only. There are no user serviceable parts inside
the UPS.
WARNING:
This ION UPS contains its own energy source (batteries).The UPS output may
carry live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and
humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive
contaminants.(Ambient :0-40°C)
To reduce the risk of fire, connect to a circuit breaker provided with 20 amperes
maximum branch circuit over-current protection.
To comply with international standards and wiring regulations, the sum of the
leakage currents of the UPS and the connected loads must not exceed 3.5mA.
The socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be installed close to this unit
and be easily accessible.
Protective earthing connections - a disconnection of a protective earth should
be made at a point furthest away from the UPS, maintaining the dedicated line
in order to secure equipotential connection.
The UPS and EBMs connected in a series should be installed close to each
other so that the operators cannot touch the interconnecting wire which is basic
insulated from primary circuit.
CAUTION:
Batteries may present a risk of electrical shock or burnt from high short-circuit
current. Observe proper precautions. Servicing should be performed by
qualified service personnel experienced with batteries and required precautions.
Keep unauthorised personnel away from batteries.
Proper disposal of batteries is required. You should refer to your requirements
in your jurisdiction for disposal.
