Electrical Safety
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 utility/mains supply. Before
installing or servicing the UPS system, ensure that the units are OFF and
that utility/mains and batteries are disconnected. Wait five minutes before
opening the UPS to allow the capacitors to discharge.
• A disconnection device (e.g. disconnection circuit breaker or switch) must be
installed to enable isolation of the system from upstream power sources in
accordance with local regulations. This disconnection device must be easily
accessible and visible.
• 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.

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.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
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,
Schneider Electric recommends 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 equipment damage.
