SUP Series UPSs are designed to be maintenance free.
They can be cleaned with a damp cloth or non-abrasive cleanser, providing the
UPS is turned off and the input plug is disconnected from the utility source.
On a regular basis, check the vents to make sure they are kept free from
accumulation of dust, dirt or lint.
2. Battery Replacement Warning
Momentarily depressing the UPS control button while the UPS is operating
normally from utility power will place the UPS into self-test. In the event the UPS
batteries are weak, an alarm will sound as an indication that the batteries need
to be replaced. For full battery life, keep the UPS close to an ambient
temperature of 77ºF. The batteries should never be exposed to temperatures
below 40ºF and above 85ºF.
3. Battery Replacement
This UPS contains sealed maintenance-free batteries (VRLA). When situated in
a typical office environment, with the proper charging and limited cycling, these
batteries can last many years. In home, office or computer room
environments, the batteries should be replaced every three to five years.
Never attempt to service batteries. High voltage exists within the unit, which
could cause electrical shock. Servicing of batteries should be performed or
supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required
precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
When replacing the UPS batteries, use the same number and type of batteries.
A. NEVER dispose of batteries in a fire, as batteries will explode.
