3.0 Installation
3.1 Receiving inspection
Once your PowerCell has been removed from its shipping container, it should be
inspected for damage that may have occurred while in transit. Immediately
notify the carrier and place of purchase if any damage is found. The packing
materials are made from recyclable materials and should be saved for reuse or
disposed of properly.
3.2 Placement
Your PowerCell may be installed in any protected environment. The location
should provide adequate air flow around the unit, in an atmosphere free from
excessive dust, corrosive fumes and conductive contaminants. Do not operate
your PowerCell in an environment where the ambient temperature or humidity
is outside the limits given in the Specifications section of this manual.
3.3 Load types
The PowerCell is designed to power all modern computer loads and associated
peripheral devices such as monitors, modems, cartridge tape drives, external
floppy drives, etc. The PowerCell is not rated to power life support equipment
(as described on the rear cover of this manual).
Caution: The output waveform of this UPS is a sine wave approximation suitable for
use with modern computer power supplies. Other loads may malfunction or the UPS
could be damaged. In particular, ferroresonant type regulating transformers are not
recommended. Use of a surge suppressor connected to the output of this UPS may
unnecessarily load the UPS when on-battery. This UPS contains high performance surge
suppression - additional suppression components are not required and are not recom-
mended. If in doubt, please consult the equipment manufacturer or the factory.
