1. Safety and EMC instructions
Please read carefully the following user manual and the safety instructions before installing the unit or using
the unit!
1-1. Transportation and Storage
Please transport the UPS system only in the original package to protect against shock and
impact.
The UPS must be stored in the room where it is ventilated and dry.
1-2. Preparation
Condensation may occur if the UPS system is moved directly from cold to warm environment.
The UPS system must be absolutely dry before being installed. Please allow at least two hours for the
UPS system to acclimate the environment.
Do not install the UPS system near water or in moist environments.
Do not install the UPS system where it would be exposed to direct sunlight or nearby heater.
Do not block ventilation holes in the UPS housing.
1-3. Installation
Do not connect appliances or devices which would overload the UPS (e.g. big motor-type
equipment)) to the UPS output sockets or terminal.
Place cables in such a way that no one can step on or trip over them.
Do not block air vents in the housing of UPS. The UPS must be installed in a location with good
ventilation. Ensure enough space on each side for ventilation.
UPS has provided earthed terminal, in the final installed system configuration, equipotential
earth bonding to the external UPS battery cabinets.
The UPS can be installed only by qualified maintenance personnel.
An appropriate disconnect device as short-circuit backup protection should be provided in the
building wiring installation.
An integral single emergency switching device which prevents further supply to the load by the
UPS in any mode of operation should be provided in the building wiring installation.
Connect the earth before connecting to the building wiring terminal.
Installation and Wiring must be performed in accordance with the local electrical laws and
regulations.

www.powershield.com.au 5
1-4. Operation
Do not disconnect the earth conductor cable on the UPS or the building wiring terminals in any
time since this would cancel the protective earth of the UPS system and of all connected loads.
The UPS system features its own, internal current source (batteries). The UPS output sockets or
output terminal blocks may be electrically live even if the UPS system is not connected to the building
wiring outlet.
In order to fully disconnect the UPS system, first press the “OFF” button and then disconnect the
mains.
Ensure that no liquid or other foreign objects can enter into the UPS system.
The UPS can be operated by any individuals with no previous experience.

2-3. Single UPS Installation
Installation and wiring must be performed in accordance with the local electric laws/regulations and execute
the following instructions by professional personnel.
1) Make sure the mains wire and breakers in the building are enough for the rated capacity of UPS to
avoid the hazards of electric shock or fire.
NOTE: Do not use the wall receptacle as the input power source for the UPS, as its rated current is less than
the UPS’s maximum input current. Otherwise the receptacle may be burned and destroyed.
2) Switch off the mains switch in the building before installation.
3) Turn off all the connected devices before connecting to the UPS.
4) Prepare wires based on the following table:
