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.

2.1 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. Exercise caution when moving or lifting the unit.
• Operate the battery cabinet at indoor temperatures between 0° C and 40° C only. For best results, maintain an ambient
indoor temperature of 25° C.
• Allow adequate space around the front and rear of the battery cabinet for proper ventilation. Do not block, cover or insert
objects into the battery cabinet's external ventilation openings.
• 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.

2.2 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 all cables are marked correctly according to their purpose, polarity and diameter.
• Observe proper polarity by following the positive and negative markings on the unit. Failure to observe proper polarity may
damage the batteries and create a serious risk of personal injury and property damage.
