4.0 EQUIPMENT LOCATION
1. Handle cabinet(s) in accordance with the safety precautions in this manual, especially in these
sections:
• Battery Cabinet Precautions—inside front cover
• Important Safety Instructions—page 1
• 2.0 - Unloading and Handling—page 5
• 5.0 - Battery Installation—page 8
Use a suitable material handling device to move cabinet to its final location. Exercise extreme
care because of the uneven weight distribution. Carefully lower the cabinet to the floor.
2. Verify that the UPS system is installed in a clean, cool and dry location.
3. Installation and serviceability will be easier if adequate access is provided on all sides of the
equipment, but only front access is required.
a. Verify that there is adequate clearance to open cabinet doors—4 ft. (1.2m) is recommended.
NEC requires sufficient clearance in front of the equipment to fully open all doors without
restriction. See drawings and local codes.
b. Verify that there is adequate area in front of circuit breakers to perform maintenance. Check
installation drawings for location of breakers. Check with local codes.
c. Verify that there is adequate clearance above all cabinets to allow exhaust air to flow without
restriction. The minimum clearance is 2 ft. (0.6m), unobstructed by conduit or any other
items. Liebert recommends against using top-feed air conditioning systems.
4. Align the UPS cabinet, battery cabinets (if used) and optional transformer and maintenance
bypass cabinets, as shown in the Line-Up Detail drawing (Figure 42) and your submittal
package.
5. Connect the cabinets, internal cables and busbars, if applicable. Internal control connections
should be left disconnected for later installation by Liebert LGS Customer Engineers.
