9. MAINTENANCE, WARRANTY
AND SERVICE
9.1. BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Pay attention to all of the safety instructions relating to the bat-
•
teries and indicated in chapter 1.2.3 of the EK266*08 manual.
The useful life of the batteries depends directly on the ambient
•
temperature and other factors, such as the number of charges
and discharges, as well as the depth of these. Their design life-
time is between 3 and 5 years if the ambient temperature to
which they are subjected is between 10 and 20ºC. On request,
batteries of a different type and/or design lifetime can be sup-
plied.
The

•
tenance. The batteries used in standard models are sealed
lead-acid, valve-regulated and maintenance-free. The only
requirement is to charge the batteries regularly to extend their
life expectancy.
As long as the UPS is connected to the supply network,
whether or not it is in operation, it will keep the batteries
charged and will also provide protection against overcharging
and deep battery discharge.
9.1.1. Notes for installing and replacing the
batteries
If a connection cable must be replaced, purchase original ma-
•
terials through our T.S.S. or authorised distributors. The use of
unsuitable cables can lead to overheating in the connections
that could pose a fire risk.
There are permanent dangerous voltages inside the
•
unit, even without mains supply present, due to its con-
nection with the batteries, and especially in UPS units where
the electronics and batteries share the same box.
Also take into consideration that the battery circuit is not iso-
lated from the input voltage, so there is a risk of discharge
with dangerous voltages between the battery terminals and
the earth terminal, which in turn is connected to the earth (any
metal part of the unit).
Repair and/or maintenance work must be carried out by the
T.S.S., except for the replacement of batteries, which can also
be carried out by qualified staff who are familiar with them. No
other person should handle them.
Depending on the UPS configuration, certain actions will be
•
carried out before handling the batteries:
