Battery location
Batteries require a well-ventilated room with controlled temperature to obtain reliable operation.
The
Battery
can be installed immediately adjacent to the UPS (left or right side) or remotely from the
UPS.
If the
Battery
is installed remotely from the UPS, a wall mounted DC disconnect device must be installed
within line-of-site to both the UPS and the
Battery
.
The optimal room temperature for
Battery
storage is
68°F
(20°C)
to
77°F
(25°C) and shall never exceed
the range
-4°F
(-20°C) to
104°F
(40°C).
The life of valve-regulated batteries will be reduced by 50% for each additional
18°F
(10°C) that the
battery ambient temperature is above
77°F
(25°C).
The
Battery System
associated with larger UPS is usually either rack mounted or installed in multiple
Battery Cabinets
.
Installation and assembly must be made according to the local standards and
Battery System
manufacturer‘s recommendations.
The
Battery Circuit Breaker
or
Battery Fuse Box
must be mounted as near as possible to the
Battery
.
WARNING !
Battery
installation and connection must be performed by qualified personnel
only.
Read all safety instructions before proceeding with the installation (see
Section 1)
.
Battery discharging and/or charging activities may cause the emission of
hydrogen gas; therefore, the room requires proper ventilation and fresh air.
Comply with the UL1778-CSAC22.2no170.3 UPS safety standard, ANSI/IEEE P1184
Guide for Batteries for Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems and applicable codes
and governmental regulations.
