• Install the battery cabinet in a level, structurally sound location.

• The battery cabinet is extremely heavy. Exercise caution when moving or lifting the unit.

• Operate the battery cabinet at indoor temperatures between 0° C and 40° C only. For best results, maintain an

• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to

cause the failure of the life support equipment or to signicantly aect its safety or eectiveness is not recommended.

• De-energize all input and output power sources before installing cables or making electrical connections.

• Use exible cable of sucient length to permit battery cabinet servicing.

• Use ferrule caps to cover termination cables and prevent frayed ends from shorting on terminal blocks. Use cabling

rated VW-1, FT-1 or better. Use cable sleeves and connector clamps.

• Conrm all cables are marked correctly according to their purpose, polarity and diameter.

• Observe proper polarity by following the positive and negative markings on the unit. Failure to observe proper polarity

may damage the batteries and create a serious risk of personal injury and property damage.
