1.1.1 UPS Safety Checklist

This Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) must be installed in a restricted access

location, and by trained personnel qualied in the safe use of high-energy power

supplies and their batteries. Also assumed is knowledge of the local electrical code(s)

and their safe application.

DANGER: NEVER let water from rain, a hose, tap or a sprinkler’s output, road

splash or other water sources enter the UPS to prevent accidental shorts, shocks

or electrocutions.

Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.

Read this manual. If you have any questions about safe installation, operation or

maintenance, contact Alpha Technologies’s customer service department.

Carefully unpack the components. Report any shipping or other damage at once.

CAUTION: Risk of electric shock and re hazard, replace fuse with the same type and

rating.

Always assume electrical connections or conductors are live. Turn off all circuit breakers

and double-check with a voltmeter before performing installation or maintenance.

Before installation, verify the input voltage and current requirements of the load are met by

the UPS’s output (See specications). Verify the line voltage and current meet the UPS’s

input requirements.

Place a warning label on the utility panel to tell emergency personnel a UPS is installed.

Use proper lifting techniques when lifting or moving the UPS or its components.

This UPS has more than one live circuit. AC power may be present at the outputs even if

the UPS is disconnected from line or battery power.

This UPS can be operated to a maximum operating temperature of 55°C. Also see the

specications section for temperature ratings.

At high ambient temperature conditions, the UPS’s surface can be very hot to the touch.

There is a Lithium battery inside the UPS. There is a danger of an explosion if it is

incorrectly replaced. Replace it only with the same type or an equivalent battery as

recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of the old battery as instructed by the

manufacturer.
