1. Important Safety Warnings
Please comply with all warnings and operating instructions in this manual strictly. Save this manual properly
and read carefully the following instructions before installing the unit. Do not operate this unit before reading
through all safety information and operating instructions carefully
1.1 Transportation
Please transport the UPS system only in the original package to protect against shock and impact.
1.2 Preparation
Condensation may occur if the UPS system is moved directly from cold to warm environment. The UPS
system must be absolutely dry before being installed. Please allow at least two hours for the UPS
system to acclimate 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 heater.
Do not block ventilation holes in the UPS housing.
1.3 Installation
Do not connect appliances or devices which would overload the UPS system (e.g. laser printers) to the
UPS output sockets.
Place cables in such a way that no one can step on or trip over them.
Do not connect domestic appliances such as hair dryers to UPS output sockets.
The UPS can be operated by any individuals with no previous experience.
Connect the UPS system only to an earthed shockproof outlet which must be easily accessible and
close to the UPS system.
Please 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).
Please use only VDE-tested, CE-marked power cables to connect the loads to the UPS system.
When installing the equipment, it should ensure that the sum of the leakage current of the UPS and the
connected devices does not exceed 3.5mA.
Temperature Rating - Units are considered acceptable for use in a maximum ambient of 40°C (104°F).
For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.
CAUTION: The unit is heavy. Lifting the unit requires a minimum of two people.
Check if there is a protection device against over current and short circuit in the upstream of the UPS
system. The recommended protection spec is 11A for 800VA~1100VA, 15A for1.5KVA, 20A for LV
2KVA and 30A for 2.5~3KVA with a B or C trip curve.
1.4 Operation
Do not disconnect the mains cable on the UPS system or the building wiring outlet (shockproof socket
outlet) during operations since this would cancel the protective earthing of the UPS system and of all
connected loads.
The UPS system features its own, internal current source (batteries). The UPS output sockets or output
terminals block 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 no fluids or other foreign objects from inside of the UPS system.
The EPO, RS-232 and USB circuits are an IEC 60950-1 safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit. This
circuit must be separated from any hazardous voltage circuits by reinforced insulation.

1.5 Maintenance, Service and Faults
The UPS system operates with hazardous voltages. Repairs may be carried out only 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, disconnect the batteries and verify that no
current is present and no hazardous voltage exists in the terminals of high capability capacitor such as
BUS-capacitors.
To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and unplug it form the AC power source before servicing the
battery
Only persons who are adequately familiar with batteries and with the required precautionary measures
may 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, please verify that
no voltage is present!
Batteries may cause electric shock and have a high short-circuit current. Please take the precautionary
measures specified below and any other measures necessary when working with batteries:
-remove
wristwatches, rings and other metal objects
-use
only tools with insulated grips and handles.
When changing batteries, install the same number and same type of batteries.
Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them. This could cause battery explosion.
Do not open or destroy batteries. Escaping electrolyte can cause injury to the skin and eyes. It may be
toxic.
When replacing batteries, use the same type and number of batteries or battery packs.
