MGE UPS Systems 3000 Power Supply User Manual


 
Safety of Persons
The UPS has its own internal power source (the battery). Consequently, the power terminals may be energized
even if the UPS is disconnected from the AC power source.
The UPS must be properly grounded.
The battery supplied with the UPS contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid accidents, the directives
listed below must be observed:
- Never burn the battery (risk of explosion).
- Do not attempt to open the battery (the electrolyte is dangerous for the eyes and skin).
- Comply with all applicable regulations for the disposal of the battery.
- Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very high.
Precautions must be taken for all handling: remove watches, rings, bracelets and any other metal
objects, use tools with insulated handles.
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
Product Safety
Upstream protectioin must be installed and be easily accessible.
The UPS can be disconnected from the AC power source by opening the input protective devices.
UPS must be connected to a nearby power source that is easily accessible.
Never block the ventilation openings of the UPS.
The UPS must be installed in a controlled environment.
Special Precautions
The UPS connection instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the indicated order.
Check that the indications on the rating nameplate correspond to your AC powered system and to the actual
electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the UPS.
Before and after the installation, if the UPS remains de-energized for a long period, the UPS must be energized
for a period of 24 hours, at least once every 3 months (for a normal storage temperature less than 25°C). This
charges the battery, thus avoiding possible irreversible damage.
