5.2.8. Considerations before startup.
•
It is recommended to charge the batteries for at least 12
hours before using the UPS for the first time. By supplying
power to the device, the battery charger will operate automati-
cally.
•
In devices with extended backup [B1], a higher perfor-
mance charger is incorporated. It is recommended to
charge the batteries for at least 12 hours before using the UPS for
the first time.
•
In devices with extended backup and without an addi-
tional charger, it is, however, recommended to leave a
minimum of 12 h x each battery module.
•
Although the device can operate correctly without charging the
batteries for the indicated time, the risk of a prolonged power cut
during the first hours of operation and the UPS’s available backup
time should be assessed.
•
Do not start up the device and loads completely until indicated
in Chapter 6.
When it is done, however, it should be carried out gradually to
avoid possible difficulties, if not at the first startup.
•
If, in addition to the more sensitive loads, it is necessary to con-
nect high-consumption inductive loads, such as for laser printers
or CRT monitors, the starting up of these peripherals will need to
be taken into account to prevent the device from crashing.
We do not recommend connecting loads of this type due to the
amount of power they absorb from the UPS.
