Important Safety Instructions — SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS Maintenance Bypass Enclosure

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
The UPS system must be installed according to local and national regulations.
Install the UPS according to:
• IEC 60364 (including 60364–4–41- protection against electric shock, 60364–
4–42 - protection against thermal effect, and 60364–4–43 - protection
against overcurrent), or
• NEC NFPA 70, or
• Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1, Part 1)
depending on which one of the standards apply in your local area.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Install the UPS system in a temperature controlled indoor environment free
of conductive contaminants and humidity.
• Install the UPS system on a non-flammable, level and solid surface (e.g.
concrete) that can support the weight of the system.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
The UPS is not designed for and must therefore not be installed in the following
unusual operating environments:
• Damaging fumes
• Explosive mixtures of dust or gases, corrosive gases, or conductive or
radiant heat from other sources
• Moisture, abrasive dust, steam or in an excessively damp environment
• Fungus, insects, vermin
• Salt-laden air or contaminated cooling refrigerant
• Pollution degree higher than 2 according to IEC 60664-1
• Exposure to abnormal vibrations, shocks, and tilting
• Exposure to direct sunlight, heat sources, or strong electromagnetic fields
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Do not drill or cut holes for cables or conduits with the gland plates installed and
do not drill or cut holes in close proximity to the UPS.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
HAZARD OF ARC FLASH
Do not make mechanical changes to the product (including removal of cabinet
parts or drilling/cutting of holes) that are not described in the Installation Manual.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

NOTICE
RISK OF OVERHEATING
Respect the space requirements around the UPS system and do not cover the
product’s ventilation openings when the UPS system is in operation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Do not connect the UPS output to regenerative load systems including
photovoltaic systems and speed drives.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Electrical Safety

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
• Electrical equipment must be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained
only by qualified personnel.
• The UPS system must be installed in a room with restricted access (qualified
personnel only).
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe
electrical work practices.
• Turn off all power supplying the UPS system before working on or inside the
equipment.
• Before working on the UPS system, check for hazardous voltage between all
terminals including the protective earth.
• The UPS contains an internal energy source. Hazardous voltage can be
present even when disconnected from the utility/mains supply. Before
installing or servicing the UPS system, ensure that the units are OFF and
that utility/mains and batteries are disconnected. Wait five minutes before
opening the UPS to allow the capacitors to discharge.
• A disconnection device (e.g. disconnection circuit breaker or switch) must be
installed to enable isolation of the system from upstream power sources in
accordance with local regulations. This disconnection device must be easily
accessible and visible.
• The UPS must be properly earthed/grounded and due to a high leakage
current, the earthing/grounding conductor must be connected first.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
In systems where backfeed protection is not part of the standard design, an
automatic isolation device (backfeed protection option or other device meeting
the requirements of IEC/EN 62040–1 or UL1778 5th Edition – depending on
which of the two standards apply to your local area) must be installed to prevent
hazardous voltage or energy at the input terminals of the isolation device. The
device must open within 15 seconds after the upstream power supply fails and
must be rated according to the specifications.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Important Safety Instructions — SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS Maintenance Bypass Enclosure

When the UPS input is connected through external isolators that, when opened,
isolate the neutral or when the automatic backfeed isolation is provided external to
the equipment or is connected to an IT power distribution system, a label must be
fitted at the UPS input terminals, and on all primary power isolators installed
remote from the UPS area and on external access points between such isolators
and the UPS, by the user, displaying the following text (or equivalent in a language
which is acceptable in the country in which the UPS system is installed):

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Risk of Voltage Backfeed. Before working on this circuit: Isolate the UPS and
check for hazardous voltage between all terminals including the protective
earth.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
