l
The UPS system has been evaluated for use with a maximum of four 93PM EBCs. Use of any
other configuration may result in fire, death, and voiding of the warranty.
l
Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
l
Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If it is, remove the source of the ground.
Contacting any part of a grounded battery can cause a risk of electric shock. An electric shock is
less likely if you disconnect the grounding connection before you work on the batteries.
l
Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements.
l
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to flame.
l
Keep the Accessory cabinet covers/covers closed and front panels installed to ensure proper
cooling airflow and to protect personnel from dangerous voltages inside the unit.
l
Do not install or operate the UPS system close to gas or electric heat sources.
l
Lead-acid batteries can present a risk of fire because they generate hydrogen gas. Do not
smoke when near batteries. Do not cause flame or spark in battery area. Discharge static
electricity from body before touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface.
l
The operating environment should be maintained within the parameters stated in this manual.
l
Operating temperatures above the recommended range will result in decreased battery life and
performance, and will reduce or void the battery warranty. Refer to Terms and Conditions of Sale
with Battery Replacement Coverage and the Battery Replacement Price Book for more
information. These documents can be found at www.eaton.com/powerquality or contact your
service representative for information on how to obtain copies.
l
The shelf life for the batteries installed in the IBC–SW is 12 months from the date code on the
battery. The recharge date is also stated on a label inside the IBC–SW. Failure to recharge the
batteries before the expiration of the shelf life will result in reduced discharge time, shorter float
service life, and will void the warranty.
l
Keep surroundings uncluttered, clean, and free from excess moisture.
l
Observe all DANGER, CAUTION, and WARNING notices affixed to the inside and outside of the
equipment.
AVERTISSEMENT!
l
Les batteries peuvent présenter un risque de décharge électrique ou de brûlure par des
courts–circuits de haute intensité. Prendre les précautions nécessaires.
l
Pour le replacement, utiliser le même nombre et modéle des batteries.
ATTENTION!
l
Une mise au rebut réglementaire des batteries est obligatoire. Consulter les règlements en
vigueur dans votre localité.
l
Ne jamais jeter les batteries au feu. L'exposition aux flammes risque de les faire exploser.
l
Les accumulateurs au plomb-acide peuvent représenter un risque d’incendie, car ils génèrent
de l’hydrogène gazeux. Ne pas fumer près des accumulateurs. Ne pas produire de flamme ou
d’étincelle dans la zone de l’accumulateur. Dissiper l'électricité statique de votre corps en
touchant une surface reliée à la terre avant de toucher les accumulateurs.
