3.1 Safety Precautions
Observe the safety precautions in Battery Cabinet Precautions inside the front cover.
Observe ALL of the WARNINGS below before performing ANY maintenance on the UPS System and
associated equipment. Also observe the manufacturer’s safety precautions pertaining to the battery,
along with the battery safety precautions in this section.
NOTE
Service and maintenance work must be performed only by properly trained and qualified
personnel and in accordance with applicable regulations as well as with manufacturers’
specifications.

Risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. Can cause equipment damage, personal
injury and death.
Extreme caution is required when performing maintenance.
Be constantly aware that the UPS system contains high DC as well as AC voltages. With
input power off and the battery disconnected, high voltage at filter capacitors and power
circuits should be discharged within 30 seconds. However, if a power circuit failure has
occurred, you should assume that high voltage may still exist after shutdown. Check with a
voltmeter before making contact.
AC voltage will remain on the bypass and output circuit breakers and the static bypass
switch, unless associated external circuit breakers are opened.
Check for voltage with both AC and DC voltmeters prior to making contact.
When the UPS system is under power, both the operator and any test equipment must be
isolated from direct contact with earth ground and the UPS chassis frame by using rubber
mats.
Some components within the cabinets are not connected to chassis ground.
Any contact between floating circuits and the chassis is a lethal shock hazard. Use differential
oscilloscopes when measuring a floating circuit.
Exercise caution that the test instrument exterior does not make contact, either physically or
electrically, with earth ground.
In case of fire involving electrical equipment, use only carbon dioxide fire extinguishers or
others approved for use in fighting electrical fires.

Risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. Can cause equipment damage, personal
injury and death.
Always identify connecting wiring prior to disconnecting any wiring.
Do not substitute parts except as authorized by Liebert Corporation.
Maintain the UPS cabinets free of foreign materials such as solder, wire cuttings, etc.
Contact Liebert Services if you are not sure of the procedures to follow or if you are not
familiar with the circuitry.
