2  Safety Instructions

This section contains important safety instructions that should always be followed during the in-

stallation, use and maintenance of the battery cabinet.

•  This product should be installed in compliance with installation rules, preferably by a qualified 

electrician. Incorrect installation and use can lead to risk of electric shock or fire. Before carry-

ing out the installation, read the instructions and take account of the product’s specific mount-

ing location. Do not open up, dismantle, alter or modify the device except where specifically 

required to do so by the instructions. All Legrand products must be opened and repaired ex-

clusively by personnel trained and approved by Legrand. Any unauthorised opening or repair 

completely cancels all liabilities and the rights to replacement and guarantees. Use only Legrand 

brand accessories.

•  If any visible damage is found on the product during the unpacking operation, do not install the 

battery cabinet but repack the unit and return it to your reseller or distributor.

•  Connection to earth ground is required for safety and proper product operation. Before op-

erating the battery cabinet, ensure it is connected to the UPS and that the AC utility outlet is 

properly grounded.

•  The battery cabinet is supplied with a DC power plug. Do not modify this cable. 
•  The terminals may carry live voltage even when the battery cabinet is connected to the UPS.
•  Do not attempt to open or disassemble the battery cabinet; there are no user replaceable parts. 

Opening the case will void the warranty and introduces the risk of electric shock even when the 

input plug is disconnected.

•  Ensure all power is disconnected before performing installation or service.
•  The batteries tend to discharge if the battery cabinet is not connected to the UPS. They should 

be recharged every 2-3 months if unused. During normal operation, the batteries will be kept 

charged.

Servicing of batteries must be  performed only by electrical hazard authorized personnel. 

Batteries may only be replaced with the same number and type.

CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. 

The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:

a) Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
b) Use tools with insulated handles.
c) Wear rubber gloves and boots.
d) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
e) Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
f) Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source 

from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock.
