Eaton 9A UPS - Product Safety and Handling

෮ Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of baeries.
෮ Disconnect charging source prior to connecng or disconnecng baery terminals.
෮ Determine if baery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove
source from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded baery can result in electri-
cal shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed
during installaon and maintenance (applicable to equipment and remote baery
supplies not having a grounded supply circuit).
Product safety
• The UPS connecon instrucons and operaon described in the manual must be fol-
lowed in the indicated order.
• CAUTION- To reduce the risk of re, the unit connects only to a circuit provided with 20
or 30 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protecon in accordance with the
Naonal Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (US installaons only).
• Check that the indicaons on the rang plate correspond to your AC powered system and
to the actual electrical consumpon of all the equipment to be connected to the system.
• For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and
shall be easily accessible.
• Never install the system near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
• Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the system.
• Never block the venlaon grates of the system.
• Never expose the system to direct sunlight or source of heat.
• If the system must be stored prior to installaon, storage must be in a dry place.
• The admissible storage temperature range is -15°C to +55°C without baeries, 0°C to
+40°C with baeries.
• The system is not for use in a computer room AS DEFINED IN the standard for the Protec-
on of Informaon Technology Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75 (US installaons only).
Special precauons
• The unit is heavy: wear safety shoes and use vacuum lier preferenally for handling
operaons.
• All handling operaons will require at least two people (unpacking, liing, installaon in
rack system).
• Before and aer the installaon, if the UPS remains de-energized for a long period, the
UPS must be energized for a period of 24 hours, at least once every 6 months (for a nor-
mal storage temperature less than 25°C). This charges the baery, thus avoiding possible
irreversible damage.
• During the replacement of the Baery Module, it is imperave to use the same type and
number of elements as the original Baery Module provided with the UPS to maintain
an idencal level of performance and safety. If there are any quesons, don’t hesitate to
