IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during
installation and maintenance of the EPM and batteries.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
• This EPM connects to an UPS. There will be voltage at the output
terminals if the UPS is turned on even if the input AC Mains is not
available.
• To eliminate any overheating of the EPM, keep all ventilation openings
free from obstruction and do not place any foreign objects on top of the
EPM. Keep the EPM 8” (20cm) away from the wall.
Note: EPM connectors are color coded. Do not try to install the EPM
with connectors that are a different color from the EPM connector in
the UPS.
• This EPM is not designed for use in dusty, corrosive and salty
environment.
• The battery will discharge naturally if the system is unused for a period
of time.

capacity.
• CAUTION - Do not dispose of battery or batteries in an open fire.
The battery may explode.
• CAUTION - Do not open or mutilate the batteries. The electrolyte
from the batteries is toxic and harmful to the skin and eyes.
• CAUTION - Risk of Electric Shock - Battery circuit is not isolated
from AC, hazardous voltage may exist between battery terminals
and ground. Test before touching with bare hands.
• CAUTION - A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and
high short circuit current. The following precautions should be
observed when working on batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.

1.
Make sure the EPM is installed within the proper environment as
specified. (0-40°C and 30-90% non-condensing humidity)
2. This EPM is designed for indoor use only.
3. Ensure the installation site environmental conditions are in
accordance with the EPM working specifications to avoid overheat
and excessive moisture.
4. Do not block the air-flow to the ventilation openings of the unit.
