Never expose the UPS to direct sunlight or a source of heat.
1.2.3 Special precautions
The UPS connection instructions contained in this manual must be followed in the
indicated order.
Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC-power system and to
the actual electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the UPS.
If the UPS must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
The admissible storage temperature range is -10° C to +45° C.
If the UPS remains de-energised for a long period, we recommend that you energise the
UPS for a period of 24 hours, at least once every month. This charges the battery, thus
avoiding possible irreversible damage.
The UPS is designed for normal climatic and environmental operating conditions as
defined in the "appendices" chapter: altitude, ambient operating temperature, relative
humidity and ambient transport and storage conditions.
Using the UPS within the given limits guarantees its operation, but may affect the service
life of certain components, particularly that of the battery and its autonomy. The maximum
storage time of the UPS is limited due to the need to recharge its integrated battery.
Unusual operating conditions may justify special design or protection measures:
-
harmful smoke, dust, abrasive dust,
-
humidity, vapour, salt air, bad weather or dripping,
-
explosive dust and gas mixture,
-
extreme
temperature
variations,
-
bad
ventilation,
-
conductive or radiant heat from other sources,
-
strong electromagnetic fields,
-
radioactive levels higher than those of the natural environment,
-
fungus, insects, vermin, etc.,
-
battery operating conditions.
The UPS must always be installed in compliance with:
-
the requirements of HD 384.4.42 S1/A2 - Chapter 42: Protection from thermal
effects.
-
standard IEC 60364-4-482 - Chapter 482: Fire protection.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damages to people or equipment
deriving from non-fulfilment of the above.
