Never forget that the UPS is a gen erator of elec trical energy , therefore the user has to take precau-
tions about against direct and indirect contacts.
Its energy source, a part from the AC mains, lies on the batteries, usually included in the same case or cabinet that the

For this reason, the g eneral protection eart h cable of the

Ŗ Check that the sum of the leakage currents of the UPS and
connected load/s do not exceed over 3,5mA.
Ŗ The installation will have input protections sized to the cur-
rents of the equip ment and stated in the nameplate label
(RCD devices type B and c ircui t breakers wit h C charac teristic or any other equivalent one) .
Overload conditions are considered as a nonpermanent an
exceptional operat ing mode, so these currents will n ot be
kept in mind when sizing the prot ections.
Ŗ Do not overload the UPS by co nnecting loads wit h inrush
consumptions at its output, like laser printers.
Ŗ Output protection will be done with a circuit breaker of C char-
acteristic or an equivalent one.
It is recommended to distribute the output power, into four
lines as minimum. Each one of them will have a protection
circuit breaker sized to the quarter of the nominal power.
This kind of outgoing distributions will allow that any fault in
any device con n ect ed to the equipment, tha t makes a shortcircuit, will affect to the line with the faulty device only. An
uninterruptible power supply will be guaranteed t o the rest of
connected loads, due to the protection tripping of the affected
line by the short-circuit only.

Type of circuit is selectable through the LCD panel of the equipment. The contact is preset from factory as normally open, so
the button must be switched to close the circuit and the voltage
to the loads is broken. To establish the power supply to the
loads again, the EPO button must be deactivated.
EPO doesn't affect to the power supply of the equipment, it
only breaks the power supply t o the loads as a safety measure.

Disconnect the corresponding protection elements. When connecting a battery cabinet to the equipment,
respect the cable’s polarity and colour (red-positive;
black-negative) indicated in the manual and in the corresponding labelling.
Wear rubber gloves and shoes. Use tools with insulated handles. Take off watches, rings or other metal objects. Do not place metal tools or objects over the batteries. Never manipulate with your hands or through conducting
objects, do not short either the batter y terminal block of
the equipment or the own from the batteries.
