ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The UPS and battery cabinets must be installed vertically, on a level and even surface. The UPS and battery cabinets should be
protected from extremes temperatures, water, humidity, and the presence of conductive powder or dust. Do not stack units and do
not place any objects on top of the unit. Although the functional temperature range of the UPS is 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C). The
ideal environmental temperature range is 59°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C) due to the battery life design at 77°F (25°C). Each increment of
15°F above 77°F reduces the expected battery life by 50%.
See battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
MECHANICAL DIMENSIONS
The area must have sufficient space for the installation to be carried out. Access doors must be sufficiently large to permit passage of
the unit. The UPS has been designed to provide front or top access for maintenance purposes.
Refer to appendix A for UPS and
Battery Cabinet dimensional drawings.
FLOOR LOADING
It is necessary that the floor in the chosen location be capable of supporting the weight of the UPS and battery cabinets.
Refer to
appendix A for weights of the UPS and Battery Cabinet.
To ease movement over short distances the UPS and battery cabinet is fitted
with casters.
