Do not connect appliances or equipment that may overload the UPS system (such as a laser printer) to the
output sockets.
Place cables in such a way that no one can step on or trip over them.
Do not connect domestic appliances, such as hair dryers, to the UPS output sockets.
Connect the UPS system only to an earthed shockproof outlet which must be easily accessible and close to
the UPS system.
Use CE-marked cables for connections between mains, the UPS and equipment (shockproof outlet).
Use CE-marked power cables to connect the loads to the UPS system.
During the installation of this equipment, make sure that the sum of the leakage currents of the UPS and the
connected loads shall not exceed 3.5 mA.
Do not disconnect the mains cable on the UPS system or the building wiring outlet (shockproof socket outlet)
at any time, since this would cancel the protective earth of the UPS system and of all connected loads.

system are still connected to the battery packs which are potentially dangerous.
Before carrying out any kind of service and/or maintenance, disconnect the batteries and verify that no current is
present and no hazardous voltage exists in the terminals of high capacity capacitors, such as BUS-capacitors.
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by experts who possess the knowledge to closely
follow all required precautions.
Caution:
potentially hazardous voltages from the battery can still be present even after disconnecting the UPS
from the AC mains. Therefore, the positive and negative terminals of the battery shall de disconnected prior to
