1. Important Safety Warning

For safety reasons, it is essential to comply with all warnings and operating instructions listed
in this manual. Do not operate the UPS unit before carefully reading through all safety
information and operating instructions. It is recommended that you save and or backup this
manual for future reference.

1-1. Transportation

 Transport the UPS system using only the original packaging to protect against shock

and impact.

 Handling Safety

Do not lift heavy loads without assistance.

This equipment is intended for installation in a controlled temperature indoor area free
from conductive contaminants.

1-2. Preparation

 The UPS system must be absolutely dry before installation. As condensation may

occur if the UPS system is moved directly from cold to warm environments, allow at
least two hours for the UPS system to acclimate to the environment.

 Do not install the UPS system near water or in moist environments.
 Do not install the UPS system where it would be exposed to direct sunlight or near

heaters.

 Do not block ventilation holes in the UPS housing.

1-3. Installation

 Do not connect appliances or devices that may overload the UPS system (e.g. laser

printers) to the UPS output sockets.

 To ensure against physical hazards, place cables safely such that persons cannot

accidentally trip over or step on them.

 Do not connect domestic appliances such as hair dryers to UPS output sockets.
 The UPS can be operated by any individual without previous experience.
 Always connect the UPS system to an earthed shockproof outlet that is easily

accessible and close to the UPS system.

 Use only VDE-tested, CE-marked mains cable (e.g. the mains cable of your computer)

to connect the UPS system to the building wiring outlet (shockproof outlet).

 Use only VDE-tested, CE-marked power cables to connect the loads to the UPS

system.

 When installing the equipment, ensure that the sum of the leakage currents of the

UPS and the connected devices do not exceed 3.5mA.

4

www.powershield.com.au

1-4. Operation

 Do not disconnect the mains cable on the UPS system or the building wiring outlet

(shockproof socket outlet) during operations as this will cancel and invalidate the
protective earth of the UPS system and of all connected loads.

 As the UPS system features its own internal current source (high capacity batteries),

the UPS output sockets may be electrically live even if the UPS system is not
connected to the building wiring outlet.

 In order to fully disconnect the UPS system, first press the OFF/Enter button to

disconnect the mains.

 Prevent fluids or other foreign objects from entering inside the UPS system.

1-5. Maintenance, service and faults

 The UPS system operates with hazardous voltages. Repairs should only be carried out

by qualified maintenance personnel.

 Caution - risk of electric shock. Even after the unit is disconnected from the mains,

building wiring outlet, components inside the UPS system are still connected to the
battery and electrically live and dangerous.

 Before carrying out any kind of service and/or maintenance; switch off mains power,

then disconnect the batteries and verify that no hazardous voltages are present at the
terminals of the large storage capacitors (the BUS-capacitors).

 Only persons who are adequately familiar with high capacity batteries, and with the

understanding of the required precautionary measures outlined below, are permitted
to replace batteries and supervise operations. Unauthorized persons must be kept
well away from the batteries.

 Caution - risk of electric shock. The battery circuit is not isolated from the input

voltage. Hazardous voltages may occur between the battery terminals and the
ground. Before touching, always verify that no voltage is present!

 Batteries may cause electric shock and have very high short-circuit currents. When

working with batteries always ensure the following precautionary measures are

adhered to:

－remove all jewellery items (wristwatches, rings and metal objects)
－use only tools with insulated grips and handles.

 When changing batteries, always install the same model and type of batteries.
 Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning as they may explode.
 Do not open or destroy batteries. Escaping electrolyte can cause injury to the skin

and eyes and may be toxic.

 Replacement fuses must be of the same type and amperage (current rating) in order

to avoid fire hazards.

 Do not dismantle the UPS system.
