1 - Introduction

GE Digital Energy™ ML Serie

1.1 Introduction

The GE (General Electric) Digital Energy™ ML Series UPS, an uninterruptible power supply, protects your equipment from all forms of power interference, including complete power failures.

1.2 Safety Rules

• CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. The UPS contains batteries. The

appliance outlets may be electrically live, even when the UPS is disconnected from the mains.

• The UPS contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not open the UPS, there are no

user serviceable parts inside.

• Apart from battery replacement on the ML 350/500/700 models, all maintenance and

service work should be performed by qualified service personnel.

• Always isolate the UPS from the mains during battery replacement.

1.3 Transport / Storage

• No liability can be accepted for any transport damage when the equipment is shipped in non-

original packaging.

• Before storing, charge the batteries for at least 24 hours.

• Store the UPS in a dry location, storage temperature must be within -20 +45 °C. If the unit is

stored for a period exceeding 3 months, optimal battery lifetime is obtained if the storage

temperature does not exceed 25°C. Be sure that the UPS is switched off, and that no cable is

connected to the interface port.

• If the unit is stored for a period exceeding 3 months, the batteries must be recharged

periodically. Connect the unit to a wall outlet for a period of approx. 48 hours, minimum every 3 months.

2 - Installation

The shipping box contains a Digital Energy™ ML Series UPS, a power cord, a computer interface cable, a CD ROM and this manual. After unpacking, inspect the UPS for damage. If you find any damage please immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase.

IMPORTANT:

Before making any connection and switching on the Digital Energy™ ML Series UPS, please check the following conditions:

• your mains supply is 220 - 240 Volts and 50 Hz, and

• the total power demand of the connected equipment does not exceed the rated output power of

the UPS (indicated on the rear panel).

2.1 Installation Rules

• The UPS is intended to be used in normal domestic and office situations.

• Protect the UPS, according to the wiring rules, with a 16A D-type fuse.

• The UPS must be powered from a single phase grounded wall outlet. Do not use extension

cords.

• Avoid locations that are excessively humid, near water, near heat sources or in direct sunlight.

• The ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C. Optimal battery lifetime is obtained if the ambient temperature does not exceed 30°C.

• It is important that ventilation air can move freely around and through the unit. Do not block the

air vents.

• Do not plug appliances such as electric heaters, toasters and vacuum cleaners into the UPS.

The UPS output can be used only for electronic loads such as computers and telecommunications equipment.

• Be careful when connecting laser printers: be sure that the demanded power does not exceed

the capacity of the UPS.
