Full voltage and current are always present at the battery terminals. The batteries used
in this system can produce dangerous voltages, extremely high currents and a risk of
electric shock. They may cause severe injury if the terminals are shorted together or to
ground (earth). You must be extremely careful to avoid electric shock and burns caused
by contacting battery terminals or shorting terminals during battery installation. Do not
touch uninsulated battery terminals.
S
Any battery used with this UPS shall comply with the applicable requirements for
batteries in the standard for emergency lighting and power equipment, UL 924. Cabinets
are designed to be used with, and batteries must be replaced with, Eaton battery number
BAT-XXXX or equivalent.

The electrician must take these precautions:
S
Wear protective clothing and eye wear. For 120V battery systems, wear rubber gloves
and boots. Batteries contain caustic acids and toxic materials and can rupture or leak if
mistreated. Remove rings and metal wristwatches or other metal objects and jewelry.
Don't carry metal objects in your pockets where the objects can fall into the external
battery cabinet.
S
Tools must have insulated handles and must be insulated so that they will not short
battery terminals. Do not allow a tool to short a battery terminal to another battery
terminal or to the cabinet at any time. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the
batteries, and do not lay them where they could fall onto the batteries or into the
cabinet.
S
Install the batteries as shown on the drawing provided with the batteries. When
connecting cables, never allow a cable to short across a battery's terminals, the string of
batteries, or to the cabinet.
