Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation, op-
eration and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect the warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Use caution when lifting the UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all rack-mount UPS
systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, the ambient temperature near the UPS should be between 0° C and 40° C
(between 32° F and 104° F).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its vents
or fan openings.
• When mounting the UPS system in a tower orientation, make sure the LCD Screen panel is at the
top of the UPS, not at the bottom.
• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner
will seriously inhibit the unit’s internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered
under warranty.
UPS Connection Warnings
• The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when
the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
• Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS plug in a way
that would eliminate the UPS connection to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS
connection to ground.
• Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.
• If you are connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide
filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting the UPS to a generator will void
its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.
• Install in accordance with National Electrical Code standards ANSI/NFPA 70 and Canadian
Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.
• Short circuit backup protection and overcurrent protection are provided by the building installation
for permanently connected models.
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided branch circuit overcurrent protection
in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code,
Part I, C22.1. Be sure to use maximum 20A overcurrent protection, in accordance with the plug/
equipment rating, for the installation.
• The plug on the power supply cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. Be sure that the
socket-outlet is installed near the equipment and is made easily accessible.
Caution! This UPS may receive power from more than one source. Disconnection
of the AC and DC sources is required to de-energize the unit before servicing.
