UPS room
The UPS is intended for indoor installation. The device should be in a clean environment with
adequate ventilation to maintain the ambient temperature within the required specification
range. The UPS provides forced convection cooling via internal fans. Cold air enters the device
through ventilation openings located in the front part of the housing and is blown out by grills
in the back of the housing. Do not block the ventilation openings.
Depending on the room conditions, the ventilation openings of the power supply should be
regularly cleaned, eg with a vacuum cleaner. The ventilation will ensure efficient cooling and
will extend the life of the device.
Note: The UPS should be installed on a stable and non-flammable substrate.
2.3.2.
Battery room
Battery temperature should be stable, as it is the main parameter affecting the battery life and
capacity. The optimal battery temperature is 15-25 ° C. It is recommended to maintain a nominal
temperature of 20 ° C.
Working at a higher temperature will shorten the battery life, and at a lower temperature will
reduce their capacity. Any increase in battery operating temperature by a further 8 ° C, reduces
the service life by 50%.
Keep batteries away from heat sources and hot air outlets.
When installing the battery outside the UPS, use the battery circuit protector located as close
as possible to the battery. The cables connecting the batteries and the UPS should be as short
as possible.

Storage
If the device is not installed and requires storage, protect it from excessive moisture and high
temperatures. Store batteries in a dry and cool room. The most suitable storage temperature
for batteries is 20-25 ° C. If the device has not been installed immediately after delivery, store it
in a room to protect it from excessive moisture and heat sources.
