Safety of persons
• This manual should be kept in a safe place near the UPS so that it can be
consulted by the operator at any time for information that may be needed
regarding correct use of the unit. Read the manual carefully before connecting
the unit to the a.c. mains supply and the downstream appliances. Before the
UPS is put into use the user should be completely familiar with its operation, the
position of all the controls and the technical and functional characteristics of the
unit, so as to ensure there will be no risk to persons or the appliance itself.
• Before being started, the unit must be equipotentially bonded, in accordance
with current safety regulations. The earth wire of the UPS must then be
connected to an efficient earth system.
• If there is no earth connection, the appliances connected to the UPS will not
be equipotentially bonded. In this situation, the manufacturer declines all liability
for any damage or accidents that could result from failure to observe the
requirements.
• Should a power outage occur (UPS in stand-alone mode), do not disconnect
the power cord from the mains, as this will break the earth connection to
bonded appliances.
• All subsequent maintenance operations must only be performed by authorised
service engineers. The UPS generates high internal voltages that could be
hazardous for a maintenance operative not in possession of the appropriate
skills and training for this type of work.
• If a hazardous situation should arise at any time when the UPS is in use, isolate
the unit from the power supply (by operating a switch at the upstream PDU
if possible) and switch the appliance off completely by running the shutdown
procedure.
• Avoid exposing the UPS to contact with water or any liquids generally. Do not
insert foreign objects into the cabinet.
• If the appliance is to be disposed of it should only be entrusted to a specialist
waste disposal company. These companies will dismantle and dispose of the
various components in accordance with statutory regulations in the country of
purchase.
•
Use the UPS in accordance with the technical specifications indicated in this
manual.
• In the event that the equipment has no automatic backfeed protection
contactor device, ensure that:
- the user/installer attaches warning labels to all mains isolating switches
located remotely from the area where the UPS is situated, in order to inform
service personnel that the circuit is connected to a UPS.
- an external isolating device is installed.
