- This manual contains important instructions
that should be followed during the installation and the maintenance of the UPS
system and the batteries.
CAUTION!
The maximum ambient operating temperature for this UPS series
is 40°C (“0 ~ 40°C” for Ambient Operation).
The external vents and openings on the UPS are provided for ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of the UPS and to protect the UPS from over-
heating, these vents and openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not
insert any object into any of the vents or openings that may hinder the ve-
ntilation.
Install the UPS system in a well ventilated area, away from excess moistu-
re, heat, dust, flammable gas or explosives.
Leave adequate space (at least 20cm) in the front and at the rear of the
UPS system for proper ventilation.
Do not mount the UPS system with its front or rear panel facing down at
any angle.
Before usage, you must allow the UPS system to adjust to room temper-
ature (20°C~25°C or 68°F~77°F) for at least one hour to avoid moisture
condensing inside the UPS.

Chapter 1: Introduction
WARNING:
Risk of Electrical Shock. Hazardous live parts inside these
power supplies are energized from the battery even when the AC input is
disconnected.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of electrical shock in conditions where the
load equipment grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the UPS from the
AC wall outlet before installing a computer interface cable. Reconnect the
power cord only after all signaling connections are made.
CAUTION!
Connect the UPS to a two pole, three wire grounded AC wall
outlet. The receptacle must be connected to the appropriate branch protec-
tion (circuit breaker or fuse). Connection to any other type of receptacle may
result in a shock hazard and violate local electrical codes. Do not plug the
UPS into extension cords, adapter plugs or surge strips.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of electrical shock with the installation of this
UPS equipment and the connected equipment, the user must ensure that the
combined sum of the AC leakage current does not exceed 3.5mA.
WARNING:

ous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble the UPS beyond the battery
replacement procedure. This UPS contains no user serviceable parts. Re-
pairs and battery replacement must be performed by
