Quick Reference Guide

•For a description of the unit see pages 32 to 35.

•Turn the unit on or off with the front panel’s on/off switch (Page 12).

Even if the unit is turned off, line power is passed through to the loads. To turn

power to the loads on or off, use the front panel’s input circuit breaker (Page 12).

•When the unit is ready to return to line mode from battery mode, it waits about a minute before

transferring to make sure the line is stable (Page 22).

•If the unit is constantly switching back and forth from Line mode to Battery mode, expanding the

input parameters to Generator should stop the multiple transfers (Page 19).

Operating Modes Quick Reference Guide

The following modes can appear on the control panel’s LEDs. For detailed information see Section 3.9.

nance of the unit, contact Alpha Technologies’s customer service department.

Before installation, confirm the input voltage and current input requirements of the load(s)

is compatible with the unit’s output. Also see that the line voltage and current is compatible

with the unit’s input requirements.

The unit should be installed on a dedicated circuit equipped with a appropriately sized

circuit breaker (see Section 5.2 “Specifications”).

Wiring should meet the local electrical code(s).

Place a warning label on the utility panel to tell emergency personnel an Uninterruptible

Power Supply (UPS) is installed.

Use proper lifting techniques when lifting or moving the unit.

The unit has more than one live circuit. AC power may be present at the outputs even if the

unit is disconnected from line power.

This equipment is to be installed and operated by people trained in the safe use of

1.1 Safety Checklists (Continued)

1.1.2 Battery Safety Checklist

Never let live battery wires touch the cabinet’s chassis or any other metal objects. This can

cause a fire or explosion.

Lead-acid batteries can vent Hydrogen gas. There must be no open flames or sparks near

the cabinet.

Inspect the batteries once a year for signs of cracks, leaks or swells. Replace as required.

When batteries are in storage, charge them at least once every three months for

optimum performance and to extend their lifetime.

Always replace batteries with ones of identical type and rating. Never install old or un-

tested batteries.

Always use insulated tools.

Remove all rings, watches, jewelry or other conductive items before working inside the

enclosure.

Follow local regulations for battery disposal. Recycling is the best method.

Never burn batteries to dispose of them. They may explode.

Never open the batteries. The contents are toxic.

Battery Emergency Procedures:

If electrolyte splashes on your skin, immediately wash the skin with water. If electrolyte

gets into your eyes, wash them for at least 10 minutes with clean water or a special

neutralizing eye wash solution. Seek medical attention at once.

Neutralize spilled electrolyte with special neutralizing solutions in a “spill kit” or a

solution of 1 lb. (0.45 kg) of bicarbonate of soda in 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water.
