5.0 Intelligent CableUPS Maintenance

A routine maintenance program, performed every three to six months, ensures the Intelligent
CableUPS will provide years of trouble-free operation.
Good battery care is the first step in any power supply maintenance program. In addition to voltage
checks, visually inspect the batteries for signs of cracking, leaking or swelling.
To aid in quick identification and tracking of voltages in the maintenance log, number the batteries
inside the enclosure using labels or masking tape. Batteries are temperature sensitive and
susceptible to overcharging and undercharging. Since batteries behave differently in the winter than

in the summer, Alpha’s battery chargers automatically compensate for changes in temperature by

adjusting float and accept charge voltages.

• The power supply must be serviced by qualified personnel.

• Use heavy gloves when handling a unit that has recently been taken out of service. The

ferroresonant transformer generates heat that may cause burns if handled with bare
hands.

• Alpha Technologies is not responsible for battery damage due to improper charger

voltage settings. Consult the battery manufacturer for correct charger voltage
requirements.

• When removing batteries, ALWAYS switch the battery breaker off before unplugging the

battery connector.

• Always wear safety glasses when working with batteries.
