INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions are for use by competent personnel only.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Detailed instructions to help you install the UPS are provided in the following
pages; however, you should give some consideration to the proposed
environment in which the UPS is to be installed, and carry out some preparatory
work.
INSPECTION
Before you install the UPS, give it a thorough visual examination to ensure it has
not been subjected to shipping damage. If it is not in perfect condition, you
should advise both the shipper and the supplier immediately. DO NOT
ATTTEMPT TO INSTALL A DAMAGED UPS.
Check the UPS rating plate that the UPS is suitable for operation on your mains
voltage and load voltage requirements.
Before disposing of the UPS packaging, check that you have removed to a safe
place the user manual and any other items shipped with the unit to be used in its
installation.
LOCATION
Locate the UPStation GXT indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot
be accidentally disconnected. Locate it in an area with unrestricted airflow, away
from water, flammable liquids, gases, corrosives, or conductive contaminants.
Give consideration to the airflow requirements- (see below)- and allow at least
150mm (6inches) free space around the UPS, with a minimum of 300mm
(12inches) at the back to enable easy operator access to the rear panel mounted
input/output/battery circuit breakers.
Air vents are located at the front and the rear of the UPS. Do not position the
UPS in an enclosed space where airflow is restricted.
Optional battery cabinets are designed to be placed on either side of the UPS.
Electrical maintenance/servicing requires access to both sides of the UPS,
provide the necessary free space or use a flexible wiring system to allow the
UPS to be pulled forward.
Maintain an ambient temperature range of 0 - +40° centigrade (32-104° F)
NOTE- UPS operation in temperatures above 25°C (77°F) reduces battery life.
CAUTION:
GXT6000 UPS weighs up to 139kg - GXT10000 UPS weighs up to 244
kg.
Use adequate handling aids when moving or installing the UPS.
The UPS is fitted with castor wheels fo
r easy movement. Take care when the
UPS is removed from its packing and being wheeled across an uneven floor
without the stabilisers fitted, that it does not tip over. See notes on
adjustment of levelling feet and stablisers.
