INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
•Electrical equipment must be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained
only by qualified personnel.
•Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe
electrical work practices.
•Turn off all power supplying the UPS system before working on or inside the
equipment.
•Before working on the UPS system, check for hazardous voltage between all
terminals including the protective earth.
•The UPS contains an internal energy source. Hazardous voltage can be
present even when disconnected from the mains supply. Before installing or
servicing the UPS system, ensure that the units are OFF and that mains and
batteries are disconnected. Wait five minutes before opening the UPS to
allow the capacitors to discharge.
•The UPS must be properly earthed/grounded and due to a high leakage
current, the earthing/grounding conductor must be connected first.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
In systems where backfeed protection is not part of the standard design, an
automatic isolation device (backfeed protection option or other device meeting
the requirements of IEC/EN 62040–1 or UL1778 5th Edition – depending on
which of the two standards apply to your local area) must be installed to prevent
hazardous voltage or energy at the input terminals of the isolation device. The
device must open within 15 seconds after the upstream power supply fails and
must be rated according to the specifications.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
When the UPS input is connected through external isolators that, when opened,
isolate the neutral or when the automatic backfeed isolation is provided external to
the equipment or is connected to an IT power distribution system, a label must be
fitted at the UPS input terminals, and on all primary power isolators installed
remote from the UPS area and on external access points between such isolators
and the UPS, by the user, displaying the following text (or equivalent in a language
which is acceptable in the country in which the UPS system is installed):
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Risk of Voltage Backfeed. Before working on this circuit: Isolate the UPS and
check for hazardous voltage between all terminals including the protective
earth.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Battery Safety
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
•Battery circuit breakers must be installed according to the specifications and
requirements as defined by Schneider Electric.
•Servicing of batteries must only be performed or supervised by qualified
personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep
unqualified personnel away from batteries.
•Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.
•Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they can explode.
•Do not open, alter, or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to
the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Batteries can present a risk of electric shock and high short-circuit current. The
following precautions must be observed when working on batteries
•Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
•Use tools with insulated handles.
•Wear protective glasses, gloves and boots.
•Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
•Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.
•Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded,
remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can
result in electric shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such
grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to
equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply
circuit).
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
When replacing batteries, always replace with the same type and number of
batteries or battery packs. Refer to the label in the classic battery cabinet for
information on batteries in your system.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
•Wait until the system is ready to be powered up before installing batteries in
the system. The time duration from battery installation until the UPS system
is powered up must not exceed 72 hours or 3 days.
•Batteries must not be stored more than six months due to the requirement of
recharging. If the UPS system remains de-energized for a long period, we
recommend that you energize the UPS system for a period of 24 hours at
least once every month. This charges the batteries, thus avoiding
irreversible damage.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment
damage.
