Service and Support  
Au d i b l e Al arms an d UP S Co n d i t i o n s  
The UPS has an audible alarm feature to alert you of potential power problems. When  
the alarm is activated, the UPS beeps in different intervals according to a particular  
condition. Use Table 8 to determine and resolve the UPS alarms and conditions.  
Silencing an Audible Alarm  
To silence the alarm for an existing fault, press the  
button. If UPS status changes,  
the alarm beeps, overriding the previous alarm silencing. The alarm does not silence if  
there is a UPS fault, low battery condition, or if the battery needs to be replaced.

WARRANTY INFORMATION  
This Warranty is subject to Eaton Power Quality Pty Ltd (EPQ) standard Conditions of Sale which  
govern all sales of products by Eaton Power Quality Pty Ltd.  
1. EPQ products, in general, are warranted against failure due to faulty materials and/or  
workmanship for a period of two years from despatch date (ex EPQ store) as per invoice.  
Ferroresonant and 95 Series Power Conditioners and Dry Type Transformers have an  
extended warranty - 5 years from date of despatch.  
2. If, within the applicable Warranty period, any EPQ product does not meet the warranty  
specified above, and the product was installed and operated in accordance with Australian  
standards and EPQ standard installation procedures, EPQ shall thereupon correct any  
defects due to faulty materials and/or workmanship.  
3. Any modifications made to the product other than those made by EPQ or its authorised  
representative may cause the Warranty to be void.  
4. For units up to 3kVA that are installed as a portable device, the Warranty covers repair or  
replacement of defective parts at the factory, or other service locations as nominated by EPQ,  
provided the unit has been returned by the user packed adequately to prevent shipping  
damage, and approval has been obtained from EPQ before shipment. All costs associated  
with the return of the product to EPQ are at the customer’s expense.  
For hardwired products 3kVA and above, the Warranty covers on site repair (Metropolitan  
area, Capital Cities only) during normal working hours, by EPQ technicians or appointed  
agents. For units installed in remote locations, EPQ may, at its discretion, request the  
equipment to be recovered and returned to the factory or other nominated service locations.  
In this case, it is the customer’s responsibility to pack the equipment adequately to prevent  
shipping damages and pay freight charges to the location nominated by EPQ. Approval to  
return goods must be obtained from EPQ before the goods are despatched.  
5. Units returned for in-warranty repairs, which are found not to be defective, will be subject to  
an inspection and handling charge, plus transportation charges.  
6. High grade batteries, designated for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) applications, are  
supplied by EPQ for use with Powerware UPS equipment. These batteries have a finite life  
expectancy depending on a number of variables, including rate of discharge, depth of  
discharge, operating temperature, etc.

warranty statement and are provided as an integral part of new equipment, they are  
guaranteed for two years, from despatch date as per invoice. A copy of this warranty  
statement is available on request. Batteries provided as spare parts or replacements have a  
one year warranty. Other optional warranty terms for batteries are available on request.  
8. EPQ reserves the right to charge for replacement batteries if within the one year guarantee  
period replacement batteries are necessary as a result of misuse or misapplication by the  
purchaser or end user.

Disclaimers  
The warranties and guaranties below, together with Powerware's Two-Year Limited Warranty, are exclusive  
and in lieu of all other express and implied warranties whatsoever, including but not limited to implied war-  
ranties of merchantability and fitness for particular purpose.  
Powerware shall not be subject to any disclaims: 1) Any other obligations or liabilities arising out of breach  
of contract or of warranty, 2) Any obligations whatsoever arising from tort claims (including negligence and  
strict liability) or arising under other theories of law with respect to products sold by Powerware, or any  
undertakings, acts or omissions relating thereto, and 3) All consequential, incidental, and contingent dam-  
ages whatsoever.  
Extended Ten-Year Pro-Rated Warranty and Computer/Load Protection Guarantee  
Applies only to original purchasers for end use in Australia & New Zealand who  
file the  
Warranty Registration Card on line within 30 days of purchase.  
In addition to its standard Two-Year Limited Warranty and $50,000 Computer/Load Protection Guarantee  
below, Powerware further warrants its UPS will have a service life of ten years from the date of shipment  
from Powerware's factory when used in accordance with the storage, handling, installation, operation, and  
maintenance procedures prescribed in the following section of this warranty and in the Operator's Manual.  
"Service life" means the UPS' ability to deliver at least 80% of it original rated backup time.  
If Powerware finds that any UPS has not provided the ten-year warranted service life, Powerware will, as  
its sole obligation and the user's sole remedy for breach of this warranty, repair or replace the unit, at its  
option, F.O.B. Powerware Corporation's factory, for a charge pro-rated on the following basis. The user will  
be allowed a credit against the list price of equivalent equipment at the time of return to Powerware, in pro-  
portion to the percentage of the warranted service life remaining at the time of return to Powerware  
Corporation. (In calculating the available credit, the remaining warranted service life will be rounded up or  
down to the nearest whole year.) The user will be responsible to pay the balance of the list price of equiva-  
lent equipment; and Powerware reserves the right to require payment prior to delivery of the repaired or  
replacement equipment.  
Powerware's complete warranty responsibilities are therefore summarised as follows:  
Years 1-2
