8. SITE PREPARATION
Electrical codes may vary according to location. Observe all local, state,
and Federal electrical codes for acceptable external wiring practices.
Note: These instructions make reference to two types of UPS cabinets. The “80K”
cabinet (this is just the cabinet name; it bears no relationship to UPS capacity) is
shown on the right side of the cover illustration of this book; the “20B” cabinet is
shown on the left side of the cover.
8.1 Installation
Considerations
The UPS is designed to operate under varied environmental conditions. To ensure
long-term trouble-free operation, note of the following:
1)
Select a well ventilated and dust-free site that is conveniently located to both the
electrical closet and the desired load.
2)
There must be a minimum of 1 meter of free space in front of the UPS for
service accessibility.
3)
You must maintain at least 40 cm of free space at the rear of the UPS, for
ventilation and to allow connection of required cables.
4)
There must be sufficient free space at the sides of the UPS, for service
accessibility.
For the 80K cabinet, 20cm of free space is required at the sides of the UPS. For the
20B cabinet, 60 to 70 cm of free space is required unless the cabinet is equipped
with wheels, in which case 20 cm of free space at the sides of the unit is adequate.
5)
Make sure that the air vents are not obstructed.
6)
Make sure that the room temperature does not exceed 40ºC. Both UPS operation
and battery charging generate heat. Battery life can be extended by ensuring a
cool operating site.
7)
Place electrical equipment (load, computer monitor, etc.) at least 1 meter from
the UPS.
8)
Use the shortest possible output distribution cable runs at the installation site,
consistent with logical equipment arrangements and in compliance with NEC
and local electrical codes. Allow space for future equipment additions.
9)
The permitted ambient temperature range for operating the UPS is 0–40°C
(32–104°F). The recommended ambient temperature for operation is 15-25°C
(59–77°F). Humidity must be less than 95% non-condensing. In altitudes above
2000 m. (6560 ft), the UPS rating is reduced
.

The route and foundation to the installation site
must be capable of supporting
the weight of cabinets and moving equipment. Plan the route to ensure that the
