Units in this manual are intended for installation in a temperature-controlled, indoor area

free of conductive contaminants.

Read all instructions carefully before operating the UPS. All operating instructions should

be followed and all cautions must be adhered to.

may be electrically hot even when the unit is not connected to commercial power.
