GENERAL INSTALLATION
MINI-TOWER/TOWER UPS INSTALLATIONS
1. Unpack the UPS carefully noting the packing method. Retain the box and
packing material for possible future shipment.
2. CAUTION: The UPS is heavy (see specifications). Take proper precautions
when lifting or moving it.
3. Visually inspect the UPS for freight damage. Report damage to the carrier
and your dealer.
4. Ensuring load equipment is turned off, plug all loads into the UPS output
receptacles.
5. Plug the UPS into a dedicated wall receptacle properly protected by a circuit
breaker or fuse in accordance with the National And Local Codes. Use a 15
amp rated device for the 700, 1000, or 1500 VA units, a 20 amp device for
the 2000 VA unit, and a 30 amp device for the 3000 VA unit. The wall
receptacle must be grounded.
6. Locate the UPS indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot be
accidentally disconnected. Locate it in an area with unrestricted air flow,
away from water, flammable liquids, gases, corrosives, or conductive
contaminants. Maintain a minimum of 4 inches (100 mm) clearance in front
and rear of the UPS. Maintain an ambient temperature range of 32° to 104°
NOTE: UPS operation in temperatures above 77° F (25° C) reduces battery
life.
7. Turn on the UPS by pressing the On button for at least one half second; then
turn on the connected load equipment. The UPS is ready for normal
operation.
