CHLORIDE 70-NET 10 - 40KVA
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1. MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
Although regular maintenance of the UPS is not necessary in order to maintain the intrinsic
reliability at nominal level, we recommend that the UPS functions be checked at regular in-
tervals, e.g. on site by authorized customer service.
The UPS indicates when the end of a fan's lifetime has been reached (see Table 6 on
page 40). A replacement fan is recommended.
7.2. DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES
When the useful lifetime of the batteries has expired, they must be replaced by the Custom-
er Service representative responsible. Exhausted accumulator batteries are classified as
"harmful toxic waste" and as such regulations demand that they be disposed of by an au-
thorised recycling centre. The Customer service centre is fully equipped to deal with such
batteries in accordance with regulations and with the greatest respect for the environment.
The typical useful lifetime of the battery is 3 to 5 years at 25° C ambient temperature; it is,
however, dependent on the frequency and duration of mains failures.
7.3. SERVICE ADDRESSES
Onsite service is available world-wide. Service telephone and fax numbers can be found on
the last page of this manual.
7.4. DECOMMISIONING
Taking out of service
Switch to service bypass
• Switch the UPS to Maintenance Bypass operation (see Table 2 on page 33)
Disconnect batteries
• Open the battery isolator or battery switch if other external batteries are used.
• Before continuing work, measure the voltage at the battery terminals and at the mains
input and wait until this has dropped to 0 V or wait at least 5 min. Failure to do this
can lead to severe electrical shock and possibly death.
The UPS is now in maintenance bypass operating mode. The only voltage present is at the
mains and load terminals. Qualified personnel may now carry out maintenance work while
observing the corresponding safety measures.
Disconnect mains
If the loads no longer need power, you may now open the external mains separation device
for the UPS.
7.5. DISPOSAL
Within the EU, batteries and other devices must be disposed of by a certified disposal spe-
cialist. Outside the EU, disposal is to be performed in accordance with the applicable reg-
ulations for the given country.
