CAUTION! Before connecting any cables or making any connections
within the UPS unit or in the electrical system, make sure there is no
dangerous voltage on electrical terminals and cables in the system.
CAUTION! The UPS may only be connected to a power system with
indicated rated voltage, with a suitable grounding connection installed.
The facility's electrical system to which the UPS unit is connected must
be fitted with overload and short-circuit protection.
CAUTION! Only TN-S or TN-C-S configuration is allowed on the UPS
unit's input side, and only TN-S configuration is allowed on the UPS
unit's output side.
CAUTION! No extension cords should be used for connecting the UPS
unit.
CAUTION! Installing a UPS unit in proximity of flammable materials or
substances is strictly prohibited!
Technicians must not work alone in hazardous conditions that may be dangerous
to health and/or life.
Shortly after the UPS unit has been moved from a cold environment to a warm
environment, moisture condensation may appear. The UPS unit must be
completely dry before installation and operation. The acclimatization time should
be at least 2 hours.

To reduce the risk of electric shock (in case the grounding cannot be checked),
the unit must be disconnected from the mains before installation or connecting to
other equipment. The power lead may only be reconnected after making all
required connections.
The electric system's grounding conductor leads the leakage current away from
the receivers. The leakage currents of all loads connected to the UPS unit's
output are combined in the UPS unit's power lead. The summary leakage current
may trigger protective devices (RCD) and result in disconnecting power to the
loads.
When connecting and disconnecting signal cables, all actions should be
performed with one hand only (if feasible). This is to avoid electric shock when
touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.
Connecting leads should be placed so that people walking over them will not step
or trip on them.
An emergency power-off button (EPO), dedicated to the UPS system, should be
installed in the building's electrical system. This is to allow disconnecting, in
emergency, the UPS unit from the connected loads regardless of the mode in
which the UPS is operating.
To minimize the risk of fire, connections should only be made to circuits (electrical
systems) whose rating is adequate for the connected loads, with properly selected
overcurrent protection. Additionally, the breaker should feature at least a 3 mm
insulating air gap.
C) Operation of the UPS unit
Health and Safety regulations and guidelines specified in the UPS unit operating
manual must be observed when handling and operating the UPS unit.
