Safety information
Please always observe the basic safety regulations when installing and using the UPS system. Since life-threatening voltage levels are present inside the system, the IP20 enclosure may only be opened by qualified service personnel. Make sure the system is properly grounded and operated in a compatible TN, IT, or TT power system. Beforehand, be sure to compare the nameplate data with your power grid and the total consumption of the devices to be connected. To avoid fire hazard, the unit may only be connected to a circuit protected by an easily accessible circuit breaker (rated 20A, trip curve C). For hardwired systems, an external disconnect switch is required, while for plug-in units the socket must be in close proximity and easily accessible. Always follow all connection and operating instructions in the manual in the exact order given. Choose the installation location for the UPS carefully. The system must never be installed near liquids, in excessively humid environments, or in direct sunlight or near heat sources. Make sure no foreign objects can enter the interior and the ventilation grilles are never blocked so that adequate cooling is ensured. If interim storage is necessary, it must be carried out in a dry place. Permissible storage temperatures are between -25 °C and +55 °C without batteries and between 0 °C and +40 °C with batteries, with temperatures below 25 °C recommended for optimal battery life. Special caution is required when handling the installed batteries, as they contain small amounts of toxic substances and pose a risk of electric shock as well as high short-circuit currents. Maintenance may only be carried out or supervised by personnel familiar with the necessary precautions. When replacing batteries, exactly the same battery type and the same number of batteries must be used, as incorrect models create an explosion hazard. Batteries must never be disposed of in fire, opened, or mechanically destroyed. The electrolyte released in such a case is toxic and can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes. Always dispose of used batteries properly and in accordance with the applicable legal regulations.
Disposal information
This product and the batteries contained in it are subject to strict European and national environmental regulations and must never be disposed of with normal household waste at the end of their service life. The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin on the device indicates that the UPS system must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste. Please take the retired unit to an official municipal collection point, such as a recycling center, or return it to an electronics retailer or the manufacturer for proper recycling. Remember to reset network-capable management cards to factory settings in advance to delete any stored network configurations. Special attention is required for the lead batteries installed in the UPS, as they contain toxic heavy metals and corrosive acids that can cause serious environmental damage if disposed of improperly. Remove the batteries from the system before disposal if possible and take them to a separate battery collection point. Used industrial batteries can be returned free of charge to the manufacturer, distributor, or special take-back systems. To avoid short circuits and the associated fire or explosion hazards, tape the exposed battery terminals with insulating tape before transport. Packaging materials should also be recycled properly for the sake of the environment: dispose of cardboard and paper with waste paper, while films, Styrofoam, and plastic straps belong in the appropriate recycling collection, such as the yellow bag or yellow bin.
