2.2 Safety Instructions for PROTECT A.

This chapter contains important instructions for the PROTECT
A. UPS. These must be followed during assembly, operation
and maintenance of the uninterruptible power supply and the
batteries.

The UPS carries high voltage. Danger! The unit

may only be opened by trained and qualified
personnel. Repairs may only be carried out by

qualified customer service staff!

5

The output may be live, even if the UPS is not
connected to the mains supply, as the UPS has
its own internal power supply (battery)!

For health and safety reasons, the unit must be
earthed correctly!

PROTECT A. may only be operated with or connected to a
230 VAC mains with protective grounding using a mains
connection cable with PE conductor (included in the delivery)
that has been tested in accordance with German standards
(VDE).

Danger! Risk of burning!

The battery has powerful short-circuit currents.
Incorrect connection or isolation faults can lead to
melting of the plug connections, sparking potential
and severe burns!

The unit has a warning signal that sounds when
the battery voltage of PROTECT A. is exhausted
or when the UPS is not working in its normal
mode.

Observe the following safety instructions to
ensure permanent operational safety of and
safe work with the UPS:

♦ Do not dismantle the UPS!

(The UPS does not contain any parts which require
regular maintenance. Bear in mind that the warranty
will be invalidated if the unit is opened!)

♦ Do not install the unit in direct sunshine or in close

proximity of heaters!

♦ The unit is designed to be installed inside in heated

rooms. Never install the UPS in the vicinity of water or
in an excessively damp environment!

♦ Condensation may occur if the UPS is brought from a

cold environment into the room where it is to be
installed. The UPS must be absolutely dry prior to start­up. As a result, leave it to acclimatise for at least two
hours.
