Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the
installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings
may affect the warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Use caution when lifting the UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all rackmount
UPS systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, the ambient temperature near the UPS should be between 0° C
and 40° C (between 32° F and 104° F).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct
its vents or fan openings.
• When mounting the UPS system in a tower orientation, make sure the LCD panel is at
the top of the UPS, not at the bottom.
• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in
this manner will seriously inhibit the unit’s internal cooling, eventually causing product
damage not covered under warranty.
UPS Connection Warnings
• The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even
when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
• Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS plug
in a way that would eliminate the UPS’s connection to ground. Do not use adapters that
eliminate the UPS’s connection to ground.
• Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.
• If you are connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting the UPS to a
generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.
• Install in accordance with National Electrical Code standards ANSI/NFPA 70 and
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.
• Short circuit backup protection and overcurrent protection is provided by the building
installation.
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided branch circuit overcurrent
protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1. For installation, be sure to use maximum
overcurrent protection in accordance with the plug/equipment rating as follows:

Plug your equipment into the UPS.*
* Your UPS is designed to support only electronic
equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total VA
ratings for all the equipment you connect exceeds the
UPS’s output capacity. To find your equipment’s VA
ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is
listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120
to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120
VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the UPS
outlets, see “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED description. 3
