Safety Warnings
Read this manual carefully and completely before installing and using the ERA LCD
Rack Mount Uninterruptible Power Supply, which, from here after, will also be referred to as
UPS.
This manual should be kept close to the UPS and read before the UPS is installed and used.
The UPS must be used only by properly trained personnel. To ensure correct and safe
operations, it is necessary that operators and maintenance personnel observe the general
safety Standards as well as the specific instructions included in this manual.
Risk of electric shock: do not remove the cover. The UPS contains internal parts, which are at a
high Voltage and are potentially dangerous, capable of causing injury or death by electric
shock.
There are no internal parts in the UPS, which are user serviceable. Any repair or maintenance
work must be performed exclusively by qualified technical personnel.
Warning to the technical personnel authorized for Service: since internal components are
connected to the batteries, they will remain powered, and therefore dangerous, even after the
UPS has been disconnected from AC power mains. Before any repair or maintenance work,
disconnect the batteries, by removing the positive cable (red colour) from the positive pole of
the battery.
It is compulsory to ground the UPS according to Safety Standards. The AC mains power supply
socket used to power the UPS must have an earth connection.
In the event of AC main power supply failure (when the UPS works in Battery mode), do not
unplug the power supply cable to the UPS to ensure earth continuity to the connected loads.
Since the AC mains power supply cable acts as a separation device, the AC mains power socket
used to supply the UPS and/or the rear side of the UPS must be accessible to easily disconnect
the cable in case of dangerous conditions.
Risk of electric shock at the Output lines when the UPS is ON.
Risk of electric shock at the Output lines while the unit is connected to the AC utility line.
Do not obstruct ventilation slots or holes and do not rest any object on top of the UPS.
Do not insert objects or pour liquids in the ventilation holes.
Install the UPS indoors, in a protected, clean and moisture-free environment.
Do not expose to the direct sun light.
Do not keep liquids, flammable gases or corrosive substances near the UPS.

User’s manual 2 UPS ERA LCD 0.65 – 0.85 – 1.1 Rack Mount
1 Introduction
ERA LCD Rack Mount is a Line Interactive UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) specifically designed to protect your
computer from any type of irregularities in the AC line (such as black-outs, under or over voltages, microinterruptions), which often cause damage to your Hardware and Software.
Under normal AC line condition, ERA LCD Rack Mount performs output voltage regulation and filters frequently
occurring electrical disturbances (such as transients, spikes, interferences, etc.), thus protecting all devices
connected to the outlets, and recharging the batteries in an ideal way. In case of anomaly to the AC line, the UPS
continues feeding the protected equipment.
ERA LCD Rack Mount is equipped with an USB and RS232 interface which can be used to notify a power failure or a
low battery condition directly to a computer: this makes it possible to automatically save your data during an
extended black-out with the most widespread operating systems (Windows, Linux, etc.).
Read this manual carefully before using the ERA LCD Rack Mount; it includes important
safety warnings and useful advices for correct use and installation.
This manual is a guide that enables you to correctly install and use your ERA LCD Rack
Mount. This manual includes important SAFETY instructions for the operator, for the
UPS correct installation, and gives useful advice on the product and battery
maintenance. For any type of problem, please refer to this manual before calling the
customer service.
ERA LCD Rack Mount is constantly being developed and improved: consequently, your unit may differ somewhat
from the description contained in this manual.
This manual includes the following models:
• ERA LCD 0.65 Rack Mount (650 VA)
• ERA LCD 0.85 Rack Mount (850 VA)
• ERA LCD 1.1 Rack Mount (1100 VA)
In this manual ERA LCD Rack Mount will simply be referred to as UPS.

3 Receipt and site selection
Carefully remove the UPS from its packaging, and carry out a meticulous inspection. We recommend keeping the
original packaging in a secure place, in case you need to send the UPS for maintenance purposes. In case of
transport damage, notify the carrier and dealer immediately.
We recommend paying attention to the below points in order to choose a correct placement for your UPS:
• The UPS is designed to operate in a protected environment (e.g. offices). We therefore recommend
installing it in a place with very little or no humidity, dust or smoke.
• In all circumstances, see the “Technical Characteristics” chapter for environmental specifications and
check that the selected area meets these specifications.
• During normal operation the UPS discharges a minimal amount of heat. So it is necessary to leave at least
20 cm of unobstructed space all around the UPS in order to keep it properly ventilated.
• Do not obstruct ventilation holes.
• Do not insert objects or pour liquids in the ventilation holes.
• Do not rest any object on top of the UPS.
• Do not keep liquids, flammable gases or corrosive substances near the unit.
• Install the UPS on a properly tiled floor. Avoid the installation on a floor that is not tiled flat.
