INSTALLATION
The following sections describe UPS storage requirements and the
installation and startup of the UPS.
Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack the UPS and optional battery cabinets, making sure to
retain the packaging materials. Examine each unit carefully for any signs
of damage and immediately notify your distributor if damage is present.
UPS and Battery Cabinet Storage
If you plan to store the UPS or battery cabinets prior to use, store them
in a cool, dry environment. Storage temperature should not exceed
35 C(95 F)inordertopreservebatterylife.Forlongertermstorage,
energize the UPS and battery cabinet for approximately 8 hours every
90 days in order to maintain battery charge.
Whenever the units are not energized, verify the circuit breaker on all
battery cabinets is returned to the OFF (O) position (see Figure 4 on
page 31).
UPS and Battery Cabinet Installation
Use the following procedure to install the UPS and optional battery
cabinets:
1. Place the UPS near the equipment to be protected. The UPS
should be well ventilated and away from direct sunlight or
other heat source.
Steps 2 through 7 are for battery installation. If you do not have
optional battery cabinets, skip to “UPS Startup for 120V
Models” on page 31 or “UPS Startup for 208V-240V Models” on
page 32.
You can install additional battery cabinets while the UPS is
operating, but confirm the UPS is not in Battery mode (see
page 37).
