Location Requirements
Install the FERRUPS as close as possible to the equipment to be
protected. If the UPS is more than 25 ft (7.6m) from the equipment,
transient noise can reappear in the electrical distribution system. The
UPS should be well ventilated and away from direct sunlight or other
heat source.
The environment can affect the reliability and performance of both the
UPS and the batteries. Verify the storage and operating environmental
requirements on page 21.
If additional FERRUPS system batteries are in a separate external
battery cabinet, the cabinet should be located as close as possible to the
FERRUPS UPS. If the batteries will be further from the unit than the
standard cables allow, contact your service representative or your local
distributor for assistance.

Store the batteries (in the UPS or external
battery cabinet) at
-
20
°
to 40
°
C (
-
4
°
to 104
°
F). Batteries will have a
longer shelf life if they are kept below 25
°
C (77
°
F). The UPS or external
battery cabinet without batteries may be stored at
-
20
°
to 60
°
C (
-

The UPS can operate from 0
°
to 40
°
C (32

full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of 25
°
C (77
°
F).
High Altitude Operation:
The maximum operating ambient
temperature decreases 1
°
C per 300m above sea level (2
°
F per 1000 ft
above sea level). Maximum elevation is 3000m (10,000 ft).
