Only Qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the electrical installation, Risk
of electrical shock.
•
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 electrical 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 installation.
Do not touch uninsulated battery terminals.
•
Any batteries used with this UPS shall comply with the applicable requirements for batteries in the
standard for emergency lighting and power equipment, UL924. Cabinets are designed to be used with, and
batteries must be replaced with, applicable Eaton battery part numbers.
The qualified service personnel (such as an electrician) must take these precautions:
•
Wear protective clothing and eye 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.
•
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.
•
Install the batteries as shown on the drawing provided with the batteries refer to
or
.
When connecting cables, never allow a cable to short across a battery's terminals, the string of batteries,
or to the cabinet.
•
Align the cables on the battery terminals so that the cable lug will not contact any part of the cabinet even
if the battery is moved. Keep the cable away from any sharp metal edges.
•
Install the battery cables so they cannot be pinched by the external battery cabinet or UPS cabinet.
•
Confirm that there is enough clearance when the cabinet cover is installed.
•
The external battery cabinet chassis (ground or earth) must be connected to the UPS chassis (ground or
earth). If you use conduit, this ground conductor must be routed in the same conduit as the battery
conductors.
•
Where conductors may be exposed to physical damage, protect the conductors in accordance with ANSI/
NFPA 70-2020.
•
If you are replacing batteries or repairing battery connections, follow the procedure in the Eaton FERRUPS
FX User's Guide to shut off your UPS and remove both AC and DC input power.
