8. MAINTENANCE, WARRANTY
AND SERVICE.
8.1. BATTERY MAINTENANCE.
Pay attention to all of the safety instructions concerning
•
batteries indicated in section 1.2.3 of manual EK266*08.
The service life of the batteries greatly depends on the ambient
•
temperature and other factors such as the number of charges
and discharges, as well as their depth.
The service life is designed to be between 3 and 5 years if
the ambient temperature is between 10 and 20ºC. Different
types of battery with different service lives are available upon
request.

The batteries used in the standard models are lead acid,
sealed, valve regulated and maintenance free. The only
requirement is to charge the batteries regularly to extend their
life expectancy.
While it is connected to the mains supply, whether or not it
is running, it will keep the batteries charged and also offer
protection from overcharging and deep discharge.
8.1.1. Notes for the installation and replacement
of the battery.
If it is necessary to replace any connection cables, original
•
materials can be purchased through our
distributors. Using inappropriate cables can lead to overheating
in connections, which is a fire hazard.
Inside the device, there are permanent dangerous
•
voltages even without mains supply present through
its connection with the batteries and especially in UPSs where
the electronics and batteries share a box.
Also take into consideration that the battery circuit is not
isolated from the input voltage, so there is a risk of discharge
with dangerous voltages between the battery terminals and
the earth terminal, which is in turn connected to earth (any
metal part of the device).
Repair and/or maintenance work must be carried out by our
•
T.S.S., except for the replacement of batteries, which can be
performed by qualified personnel familiar with them. No other
person should handle them.
Depending on the configuration of the UPS, certain actions
need to be carried out before handling the batteries:
Devices with batteries and electronics sharing the same
box.
Shut down the loads and device completely.
–

8.2. UPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.
If the UPS does not work properly, check the information shown on
the LCD screen of the control panel and act accordingly depending
on the device model.
Using the troubleshooting guide, try to resolve the issue and, if it
persists, consult our Technical Service and Support
If it is necessary to contact our Technical Service and Support
T.S.S., provide the following information:
UPS model and serial number.
•
Date on which the issue occurred.
•
Full description of the issue, including information provided by
•
the LCD display or LEDs and state of the alarm.
Power supply conditions, type of load and level of load applied
•
to the UPS, ambient temperature, ventilation conditions.
Battery information (capacity and number of batteries),
•
whether the device is a (B0) or (B1).
Any other information considered relevant.
