The UPS system operates with hazardous voltages. Repairs may be carried out only by
qualified maintenance personnel.
Caution - risk of electric shock. Even after the unit is disconnected from the mains
(building wiring outlet), components inside the UPS system are still connected to the
battery and electrically live and 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
capability capacitor such as BUS-capacitors.
Only persons are adequately familiar with batteries and with the required precautionary
measures may replace batteries and supervise operations. Unauthorized persons must
be kept well away from the batteries.
Caution - risk of electric shock. The battery circuit is not isolated from the input voltage.
Hazardous voltages may occur between the battery terminals and the ground. Before
touching, please verify that no voltage is present!
When changing batteries, install the same number and same type of batteries.
Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them. This could cause battery
explosion.
Do not open or destroy batteries. Escaping electrolyte can cause injury to the skin and
eyes. It may be toxic.
Please replace the fuse only with the same type and amperage in order to avoid fire
hazards.
Do not dismantle the UPS system.
A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The
following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
a) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects
