2. Important Safety Instructions

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.
• Wiring and assembly should be performed by trained, qualified electricians only. Refer
to the UPS unit's Owner's Manual for wire sizing.

Battery Warnings

• The battery cabinet does not require routine maintenance by the user. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside. Only qualified, knowledgeable service personnel familiar
with all required precautions should open the access panels for any reason. Keep
unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
• The battery cabinet contains valve-regulated recombinant lead-acid (VRLA) batteries.
Do not attempt to add water to these batteries or sample the electrolyte specific
gravity.
• VRLA batteries can contain an explosive mixture of hydrogen gas. DO NOT SMOKE
when near batteries. DO NOT cause flames or sparks near batteries. Discharge static
electricity from body before touching batteries. DO NOT open or mutilate batteries—
released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic. DO NOT dispose
of batteries in a fire—they may explode.
• Batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high short-circuit current.
Battery connection or replacement should be performed only by qualified service
personnel observing proper precautions. Use tools with insulated handles. Remove
watches, rings or other metal objects. Wear rubber gloves and boots. Do not short or
bridge the battery terminals with any object. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of
batteries.
• Replace batteries with equivalent batteries (same number and type) available from
Tripp Lite.
