Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.

Read this manual. If you have any questions about safe installation, operation or maintenance, contact Alpha Technologies’s customer service department.

Carefully unpack the components. Report any shipping or other damage at once.

Always assume electrical connections or conductors are live. Turn off all circuit breakers and double-check with a voltmeter before performing installation or maintenance.

Before installation, verify the input voltage and current requirements of the load are met by the UPS’s output (See specifications). Verify the line voltage and current meet the UPS’s input requirements.

Place a warning label on the utility panel to tell emergency personnel a UPS is installed.

Use proper lifting techniques when lifting or moving the UPS or its components.

This UPS has more than one live circuit. AC power may be present at the outputs even if the UPS is disconnected from line or battery power.

This UPS can be operated to a maximum operating temperature of 55°C except for the

FXM 2000–120VAC unit which has a maximum temperature rating of 50°C. Also see the specifications section for temperature ratings and deratings.

At high ambient temperature conditions, the UPS’s surface can be very hot to the touch.

There is a Lithium battery inside the UPS. There is a danger of an explosion if it is incorrectly replaced. Replace it only with the same type or an equivalent battery as recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of the old battery as instructed by the manufacturer.
