2. Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
All sections of this manual contain instructions and warnings that must be followed during the installation and operation of the battery
cabinet described in this manual. Read ALL instructions thoroughly before attempting to move, install or connect your battery cabinet.
Failure to heed these warnings may affect your warranty and cause serious property damage and/or personal injury.
DANGER! LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD!
All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the warnings in this manual and all
applicable electrical and safety codes. Incorrect wiring may cause serious personal injury and property damage.
Installation and Location Warnings
• Install the battery cabinet in a controlled indoor environment, away from moisture, temperature extremes, flammable liquids and gasses,
conductive contaminants, dust and direct sunlight.
• Install the battery cabinet in a level, structurally sound location.
• The battery cabinet is extremely heavy; be extremely careful when moving or lifting the unit.
• Operate the battery cabinet at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (0° C and 40° C) only. For best results, maintain an
ambient indoor temperature of 77° F (25° C).
• Leave adequate space around the front and rear of the battery cabinet for proper ventilation. Do not block, cover or insert objects into the
external ventilation openings of the battery cabinet.
• Do not place any object on the battery cabinet, especially containers of liquid.
• Do not attempt to stack the battery cabinet. Attempting to stack the battery cabinet may cause permanent damage and create a potential
for serious personal injury.
• Do not attempt to unpack or move the battery cabinet without assistance. Use appropriate handling equipment rated to bear the weight
and bulk of the battery cabinet, such as freight elevators, pallet jacks and forklifts. (Fully extend forks under load. Spread forks to
maximum possible width under load. Lift cabinet from bottom only. Wear safety shoes.)
• For emergency use, install a fire extinguisher rated for energized electrical equipment fires (Class C rating or exact equivalent, with a non-
conductive extinguishing agent) near the battery cabinet.
Connection Warnings
• The battery cabinet contains hazardous high voltages that have the potential to cause personal injury or death from electric shock.
• The battery cabinet has its own energy source. The output terminals may be live even when the battery cabinet is not connected to a UPS
system.
• The battery cabinet must be suitably grounded according to all applicable electrical wiring regulations.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the
life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
• De-energize all input and output power sources before installing cables or making electrical connections.
• Use flexible cable of sufficient length to permit battery cabinet servicing.
• Use ferrule caps to cover termination cables and prevent frayed ends from shorting on terminal blocks. Use cabling rated VW-1, FT-1 or
better. Use cable sleeves and connector clamps.
• Confirm that all cables are marked correctly according to their purpose, polarity and diameter.
• Observe proper polarity by connecting negative to negative and positive to positive (and center string to center string, where applicable).
Failure to observe proper polarity may damage the batteries and create a serious risk of personal injury and property damage.
• Wiring should be performed by trained, qualified electricians only. Refer to the UPS unit's Owner's Manual for wire sizing.
• Do not connect the integrated battery charger (included with single-phase and "C" models only) to the UPS system output. The integrated
battery charger requires a separate AC supply circuit.
