Install the Eaton FERRUPS FX UPS 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.
If additional Eaton Ferrups FX series UPS system batteries are in a separate external battery cabinet, the
cabinet should be located as close as possible to the 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.
Install the system on a level floor suitable for heavy weight and wheeling.
Install the system in an area that is free of conductive contaminants.

The Eaton Ferrups FX series UPS cabinet is shipped with four anchor brackets that secure the UPS to the pallet. These brackets
should be reused to attach the UPS to the floor, they act as a protective stop to prevent the cabinet from rolling forward if
unintentionally pushed.
