3.6 Application of batteries
Attention – risk of electric shocks and burns.
Batteries can cause electric shocks and have high short-circuit currents, which
also can cause burns.
Unauthorized persons should be kept away from batteries.
Keep devices which heat away from the batteries and do not throw them into
fire. Danger of explosion!
Do not open or damage the batteries. The redundant electrolyte is very
dangerous for humans and environment (danger of cauterization on skin and
eyes, toxic).
Defect batteries have to be disposed eco-friendly.
Never throw batteries into domestic waste.
Follow the local directives of disposing.
3.7 Maintenance, service and errors
Attention – risk of electric shocks.
Even after cutting the current circuit, the UPS stays connected with the batteries
and has got dangerous voltage. Before doing maintenance or service works, cut
the current circuit of the batteries and ensure that there is no voltage.
Only specialized staff with know-how about the essential safety instructions, is
allowed to do workings on the batteries and to control them.
Keep unauthorized persons away from the batteries.
For works on the UPS you have to pay attention to following instructions:
Wristwatches, rings and other things of metal have to be removed;
just use isolated hand tools;
It is not allowed to deconstruct the UPS.
