Important Safety Instruction – Read before Installing this Product
Safety of Persons
►The UPS has its own internal power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized even if the UPS is disconnected from the AC-power source.
►Dangerous voltage levels are present within the UPS. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service personnel.
►The UPS must be properly earthed. Measurements are required to ensure that the total leakage current of the UPS and the protected equipment does not exceed 3.5mA by checking their characteristics.
►The battery supplied with the UPS contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid accidents, the directives listed below must be observed:
-Never burn the battery (risk of explosion).
-Do not attempt to open the battery (the electrolyte is dangerous for the eyes and skin).
-Comply with all applicable regulations for the disposal of the battery.
-Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very high. Precautions must be taken for all handing: remove watches, rings, bracelets and any other metal objects, use tools with insulated handles.
Product Safety
►The UPS connection instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the indicated order.
►UPS must be connected to a nearby wall outlet that is easily accessible. The UPS can be disconnected from the AC-power source by removing the power cord.
►Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC-power system and to the actual electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the UPS.
►Never install the UPS near liquids or in an excessively damp environment
►Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the UPS.
►Never block the ventilation grates of the UPS.
►Never expose the UPS to direct sunlight or a source of heat.
►If the UPS must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
►The admissible storage temperature range is –25°C to +55°C
Special Precautions
►Once installed and connected to the AC power source for the first time, the battery will start to charge. Full charging to obtain the rated battery backup time requires at least 8 hours.
►Before and after the installation, if the UPS remains de-energized for a long period, the UPS must be energized for a period of 24 hours, at least once every 6 months (for a normal storage temperature less than 25°C). This charges the battery, thus avoiding possible irreversible damage.
►During the replacement of the battery module, it is imperative to use the same type and number of element previously mounted in the UPS, in order to maintain an identical level of performance and safety. In case of doubt, don’t hesitate to contact our after sales department (for more information, refer to the web site www.mgeups.com).

Notes: |
|
|
|
1> As soon as the UPS is connected to power, the battery begins charging, whatever the On/Off switch position. When the UPS is operating on battery power, Solution-Pac software will indicate how much time is left at the current level of load. The indicated time remaining is an approximation based on several load-power curves.
2> If the utility power failure exceeds the battery backup time, the UPS will shut down to prevent excessive battery discharge and will restart as soon as utility power returns.
3> After a power outage, when the battery is partially or fully depleted, the indicated time remaining on battery may not be accurate. Always exercise caution when operating your equipment under these circumstances until the batteries have had enough time to completely recharge.
4> The overload breaker trips off during a severe overload. If this occurs, unplug excessive loads and reset circuit breaker by pressing its reset button.
5> Lead-acid batteries operating inside a UPS will last from two to four years before needing replacement, depending on the environment. Before they quit operating entirely, you should contact MGE to order replacement batteries. Doing so will greatly increase the likelihood of protecting your equipment from power black-outs.
6> Do not connect non-computer type loads to NOVA AVR outlets.
