Location Guidelines

Keep the following guidelines in mind when choosing the location for your system and batteries:

•

Verify that the environment meets the requirements in “Storage and Operating Environment” on

page 7. The environment can affect the reliability and performance of both the unit and the

batteries.

•

Install any separate battery cabinets as close as possible to the unit to reduce the cost of DC

wiring and to improve battery performance. We recommend no clearance between the unit and

the battery cabinet; in other words, the battery cabinet(s) should be directly under or to the left

side of the unit (when you face the front of the unit). If you must place the battery cabinet away

from the unit, you must supply the proper length, gauge, and type of battery cables, and you must

make sure the installation meets the applicable NEC (CEC) requirements.

•

Choose a permanent location for the unit and any battery cabinets. Attempting to move them after

you have installed the batteries can damage the batteries and the cabinet.

CAUTION

Do not move the unit or the battery cabinet after you install the batteries. If you do, the unit or

battery cabinet and batteries may be damaged.

CEC (Canadian Electric Code) requires the unit to be located in a service room. If the room is

equipped with a sprinkler system, the unit must be provided with sprinkler proof covers.
The system should be connected to the emergency generator, if available.

This equipment is heavy. Refer to Table 3.4 when you choose a site to make sure that

the floor can support the weight of the system, the batteries, any separate battery

cabinets, and any other necessary equipment.

Receiving and Handling the Unit and the Batteries

This system can weigh several hundred pounds (see Table 3.4; ask your sales representative for

additional information). Make sure you are prepared for these weights before you unload or move the

unit or the batteries. Do not install any batteries until you have permanently installed the unit with

battery cabinets and connected all conduit and wiring.
