IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important instructions for
models PowerWalker VI 1000/1500/2000/3000 RT LCD that should be followed
during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries.
•This product is specially designed for PCs and it is not recommended for use in
any life-supporting system and other specific important equipment.
•This equipment can be operated by any individual with no previous training.
•Do not plug household appliances such as hair dryers to UPS receptacles.
•This unit intended for installation in a controlled environment (temperature
controlled, indoor area free of conductive contaminants). Avoid installing the
UPS in locations where there is standing or running water, or excessive
humidity.
•Risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
•The utility power outlet shall be near the equipment and easily accessible. To
isolate UPS from AC input, remove the plug from the utility power outlet.
•If UPS is to be stored for a long time, it is recommended to recharge the
batteries (by connecting the utility power to UPS, switch “ON”), once a month for
24 hours to avoid a full battery discharge.
•Please do not use the UPS in excess of the rated load capacity.
•The UPS contains one or more large-capacity batteries. So the shell shall not be
opened, otherwise such dangers as electric shock will be caused. If any internal
overhaul or replacement of the battery is required, please contact the distributor.
•The internal short circuiting of the UPS will lead to dangers such as electric
shock or fire, therefore, no water containers (such as a water glass) shall be
placed on the top of the UPS so as to avoid such dangers as electric shock.
•Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode.
•Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful
to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
•Icon Φon the rating label stands for phase symbol.
•A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries :

EN
•Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects from the hand.
•Use tools with insulated handles.
•Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized
personnel away from batteries.
•When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of the sealed
lead-acid batteries.
•The maximum ambient temperature rating is 40°C.
•This pluggable type A equipment with battery already installed by the supplier is
operator installable and may be operated by laymen.
•During the installation of this equipment it should be assured that the sum of the
leakage currents of the UPS and the connected loads does not exceed 3.5mA.
•Attention, hazardous through electric shock. Also with disconnection of this unit
from the mains, hazardous voltage still may be accessible through supply from
battery. The battery supply should be therefore disconnected in the plus and
minus pole of the battery when maintenance or service work inside the UPS is
necessary.
•The mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS shall be installed near the UPS
and shall be easily accessible.
•In case smoke is found coming out from the device, please cut off the power
supply quickly and contact the distributor.
•Do not keep or use this product in any of the following environments:
oAny area with combustible gas, corrosive substance or heavy dust.
oAny area with extraordinarily high or low temperature (above 40˚C or
below 0˚C) and humidity of more than 90%.
oAny area exposed to direct sunshine or near any heating apparatus.
oAny area with serious vibrations.
oOutdoor.
•In the event that there is fire occurring in the vicinity, please use dry-power
extinguishers. The use of liquid extinguishers may give rise to the danger of
electric shock.
