UPS Location Warnings
• Your UPS is intended to be used in a temperature-regulated, indoor area that is relatively free of
conductive contaminants. Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive
contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
