Safety of Persons
• The system has its own power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be
energized even if the systems is disconnected from the AC power source. Dangerous voltage
levels are resent within the system. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service
personnel.
• The system must be properly grounded at all times.
• The battery supplied with the system contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid
accidents, the directives listed below must be observed:
– Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about
batteries and the required precautions.
– When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery
packs.
– Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
– Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very
high.
• Precautions must be taken for all handling:
– Wear rubber gloves and boots.
– Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
– Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
– Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source
from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The
likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance (applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded
supply circuit).

Product Safety
• To connect the UPS, instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the
indicated order.
• CAUTION - To reduce the risk of fire, the unit connects only to a circuit provided with 20 or 30
amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (US installations only).
• Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC powered system and to the
actual electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the system.
• For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall
be easily accessible
• Never install the system near liquids or in an excessively damp environment. This equipment
should only be used in a dry indoor environment.
• Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the system.
• Never block the ventilation grates of the system.
• Never expose the system to direct sunlight or source of heat.
• If the system must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
• The admissible storage temperature range is -25ºC to +55ºC without batteries, 0°C to 40°C with
batteries.
• The system is not for use in a computer room AS DEFINED IN the standard for the Protection of
Information Technology Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75 (US installations only).
Special Precautions
• The unit is heavy: wear safety shoes and use vacuum lifter preferentially for handling operations.
• All handling operations will require at least two people (unpacking, lifting, installation in rack
system).
• 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 6 months (for a normal storage
temperature less than 25°C). This charges the battery, thus avoiding possible irreversible
damage.
• During the replacement of the Battery Module, it is imperative to use the same type and number
of element as the original Battery Module provided with the UPS to maintain an identical level of
performance and safety. If there are any questions, don’t hesitate to contact your local EATON
representative.
• All repairs and service should be performed by AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.
There are NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS inside the UPS.
• For potential safety issue on defective UPS : DISCONNECT INTERNAL BATTERY for storage and
transportation.

UPS Remote Control Functions

! IMPORTANT
The relay output contacts must not be connected to any utility connected circuits. Reinforced insulation to the
utility is required. The relay output contacts have a maximum rating of 250 Vac/5A.

4.2 UPS Remote Control Functions

Remote ON/Off

Figure 13. Normally Open ROO

• Remote On/Off allows remote action of button to switch On/Off the UPS.
• When contact changes from open to closed, the UPS is switched-on (or stays On).
• When contact changes from closed to open, the UPS is switched-off (or stays Off).

• On/Off control via button has priority over the remote control.

Remote Power Off

RPO is used to shutdown the UPS remotely when the contact is open. This feature can be used for shutting
down the load and the UPS by thermal relay, for instance in the event of room over temperature. When RPO is
activated, the UPS shuts down the output and all its power converters immediately. The UPS remains on to
alarm the fault. The RPO circuit is an IEC 60950 safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit. This circuit must be
separated from any hazardous voltage circuits by reinforced insulation.

• The RPO must not be connected to any utility connected circuits. Reinforced insulation to the utility is
required. The RPO switch must have a minimum rating of 27 Vdc and 20 mA and be a dedicated latching-
type switch not tied into any other circuit. The RPO signal must remain active for at least 250 ms for proper
operation.
• To ensure the UPS stops supplying power to the load during any mode of operation, the input power must
be disconnected from the UPS when the Remote Power Off function is activated.

Leave the RPO connector installed in the RPO port on the UPS even if the RPO function is not needed.
