ENGLISH SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety of persons • The system has its own power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized even if the systems is disconnected from the AC power source. Dangerous voltage levels are present within the system. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service personnel. • The system must be properly grounded. • The battery supplied with the system contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid accidents, the directives listed below must be observed: - S ervicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions. - When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs. - Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode. - Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very high. • Precautions must be taken for all handling: - Wear rubber gloves and boots. - Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries. - Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals. - D etermine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply circuit). Product safety • The UPS connection instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the indicated order. • CAUTION - To reduce the risk of fire, the unit connects only to a circuit provided with branch circuit overcurrent protection for : 30A rating, for 9PX3K3U models in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The upstream circuit breaker must be easily accessible. The unit can be disconnected from AC power source by opening this circuit breaker. • Disconnection and overcurrent protection devices shall be provided by others for permanently connected AC input/output circuits. • Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC powered system and to the actual electrical consumption 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 ventilation grates of the system. • Never expose the system to direct sunlight or source of heat. • If the system must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place. • The admissible storage temperature range is -15ºC to +50ºC. • The system is not for use in a computer room AS DEFINED IN the standard for the Protection of Information Technology Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75. Contact Eaton resellers to order a special battery kit, if needed to meet the ANSI/NFPA 75 requirement. 9PX3K3U_EN Page 3
