Important Safety Instructions
Safety Admonishments Definitions
Definitions of the safety admonishments used in this document are listed under “Admonishments Used in this Document” on
page vi.
General Safety
DANGER! YOU MUST FOLLOW APPROVED SAFETY PROCEDURES.
Performing the following procedures may expose you to hazards. These procedures should be performed by qualified
technicians familiar with the hazards associated with this type of equipment. These hazards may include shock, energy,
and/or burns. To avoid these hazards:
a) The tasks should be performed in the order indicated.
b) Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects.
c) Prior to contacting any uninsulated surface or termination, use a voltmeter to verify that no voltage or the expected
voltage is present. Check for voltage with both AC and DC voltmeters prior to making contact.
d) Wear eye protection.
e) Use certified and well maintained insulated tools. Use double insulated tools appropriately rated for the work to be
performed.
Voltages
AC Input Voltages
DANGER! This system operates from AC input voltage capable of producing fatal electrical shock. AC input power must
be completely disconnected from the branch circuits wiring used to provide power to the system before any AC electrical
connections are made. Follow local lockout/tagout procedures to ensure upstream branch circuit breakers remain de-
energized during installation. DO NOT apply AC input power to the system until all electrical connections have been
completed and checked.
DC Output and Battery Voltages
DANGER! This system produces DC power and may have a battery source connected to it. Although the DC voltage is
not hazardously high, the rectifiers and/or battery can deliver large amounts of current. Exercise extreme caution not to
inadvertently contact or have any tool inadvertently contact an output terminal or battery terminal or exposed wire
connected to an output terminal or battery terminal. NEVER allow a metal object, such as a tool, to contact more than
one termination or battery terminal at a time, or to simultaneously contact a termination or battery terminal and a
grounded object. Even a momentary short circuit can cause sparking, explosion, and injury.
Battery
Refer to the battery manufacturer documentation for specific battery safety instructions. The following are general guidelines.
WARNING! Correct polarity must be observed when connecting battery leads.
WARNING! Special safety precautions are required for procedures involving handling, installing, and servicing batteries.
Observe all battery safety precautions in this manual and in the battery instruction manual. These precautions should be
followed implicitly at all times.

WARNING! A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. Servicing of batteries should
be performed or supervised only by properly trained and qualified personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the
required precautions.
The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
•Follow the recommended PPE requirements per the SDS for the battery to be used.
•Batteries are an energy source that can produce high amounts of electrical current.
•Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects.
•Eye protection should be worn to prevent injury from accidental electrical arcs.
•Use certified and well maintained insulated tools. Use double insulated tools appropriately rated for the work to be
performed. Ensure that wrenches with more than one working end have only one end exposed.
•Verify that no current will flow when the battery is connected or disconnected by opening battery disconnects (if
available) or adjusting the system to match battery voltage.
•Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions provided with the batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in a
fire. They may explode.
•Do not open or mutilate batteries.
•ALWAYS FOLLOW THE BATTERY MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Specific Precautions for the Batteries Described in this Document
•Batteries have an ON/OFF switch. Before making any electrical connection, disconnect power at battery by placing
the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
•Do not immerse the battery in water.
•Do not approach a heat source.
•Do not short-circuit the positive and negative poles of the battery.
•Do not reverse charge.
•Do not use the battery in an extremely hot environment, such as a closed environment. Care must be taken to keep
operational temperature within -40 °C to +55 °C rating of battery. Otherwise, the battery will overheat which will
affect the performance of the battery and shorten the service life of the battery and may catch fire (ignite).
•DO NOT OPEN THE BATTERY ENCLOSURE due to high hazard inside. Battery is only intended to be replaced, not
repaired if faulty.
•If needing replacement, battery must be returned in HAZ MAT approved Class 9 packaging.
•It is recommended to store the battery under the conditions in “Battery Storage Environment” on page 18, otherwise
battery performance will be reduced or battery life will be shortened.
•Do not DROP the battery during installation.
•Battery maximum elevation – 3k Meters.
ALERT! Performing maintenance and/or troubleshooting procedures may interrupt power to the loads, if battery reserve
is not sufficient.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
DANGER! ARC FLASH AND SHOCK HAZARD.
Appropriate PPE and tools required when working on this equipment. An appropriate flash protection boundary analysis
should be done to determine the “shock hazard and arc flash hazard” category, and to select proper PPE.
Only authorized and properly trained personnel should be allowed to install, inspect, operate, or maintain the equipment.
Do not work on LIVE parts. If required to work or operate live parts, obtain appropriate Energized Work Permits as
required by the local authority, such as NFPA 70E “Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace”.
Hazardous Voltage
DANGER! HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
More than one disconnect may be required to de-energize the system before servicing.
Handling Equipment Containing Static Sensitive Components
ALERT! Installation or removal of equipment containing static sensitive components requires careful handling. Before
handling any equipment containing static sensitive components, read and follow the instructions under “Static Warning”
on page x.
Maintenance and Replacement Procedures
CAUTION! When performing any step in the procedures that requires removal or installation of hardware, use caution to
ensure no hardware is dropped and left inside the unit; otherwise service interruption or equipment damage may occur.
NOTE! When performing any step in the procedures that requires removal of existing hardware, retain all hardware for
use in subsequent steps, unless otherwise directed.

Static Warning
This equipment contains static sensitive components. The warnings listed below must be observed to prevent damage
to these components. Disregarding any of these warnings may result in personal injury or damage to the equipment.
1. Strictly adhere to the procedures provided in this document.
2. Before touching any equipment containing static sensitive components, discharge all static electricity from yourself
by wearing a wrist strap grounded through a one megohm resistor. Some wrist straps have a built-in one megohm
resistor; no external resistor is necessary. Read and follow wrist strap manufacturer’s instructions outlining use of a
specific wrist strap.
3. Do not touch traces or components on equipment containing static sensitive components. Handle equipment
containing static sensitive components only by the edges that do not have connector pads.
4. After removing equipment containing static sensitive components, place the equipment only on static dissipative
surfaces such as conductive foam or ESD bag. Do not use ordinary Styrofoam or ordinary plastic.
5. Store and ship equipment containing static sensitive components only in static shielding containers.
6. If necessary to repair equipment containing static sensitive components, wear an appropriately grounded wrist
strap, work on a conductive surface, use a grounded soldering iron, and use grounded test equipment.
