Important Safety Instructions This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Please read and follow all instructions carefully during installation and operation of the unit. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install, or operate. CAUTION! The UPS must be connected to an AC power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protection. DO NOT plug the machine into an outlet that is not grounded. If you need to de-energize this equipment, turn off and unplug the UPS. CAUTION! DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT! Panamax does not sell products for life support or medical applications. DO NOT use in any circumstance that would affect operation or safety of any life support equipment, with any medical applications, or patient care. CAUTION! The battery can energize hazardous live parts inside even when the AC input power is disconnected. CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock install in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of conductive contaminants. (Please see specifications for acceptable temperature and humidity range). CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user serviceable parts inside. CAUTION! To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and unplug it from the AC power source before installing a component. CAUTION! DO NOT USE WITH OR NEAR AQUARIUMS! To reduce the risk of fire, do not use with or near aquariums. Condensation from the aquarium can come in contact with metal current contacts and cause the machine to short out. Note: AC Power management devices, such as a UPS, have certain limitations with regard to reactive loads and wattage. The MB1000 has a handling capacity of 1000VA or approximately 600 watts. Excessive power consumption beyond these specifications can affect battery life and performance. 1
