Installing the UPS and Battery Cabinets
Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should
perform the UPS installation. Risk of electrical shock.
To perform the Plus 12 installation, you need the following tools: a 5/16 I and a 1/4 I
hexĆnut driver. Make sure that you read all of the caution and warning statements in
Safety Considerations" beginning on page before performing the installation.
If your UPS is connected to a remote battery provided by another manufacturer,
disregard all references to battery cabinets in this section and see Installing Remote
Batteries" on page 49 for more information on installation and configuration.
The following instructions assume you have already removed the UPS and battery
cabinets from the pallets according to the unloading instructions on the outside of the
shipping box.
Use the following procedure to set up the UPS and battery cabinets:
. Place the UPS and battery cabinets near the operating site. Make sure the air
vents and exhausts are free of obstructions and the UPS is not near a heat
source or in direct sunlight.
It is recommended to allow a minimum of 24 I of space on the left side of
the unit for access by qualified service personnel and a minimum of 8 I of
space on the rear side for proper ventilation.
. Remove the joining kit hardware from the shipping carton. The hardware kit
should contain four joining brackets (one notched) and eight #10Ć32 .50
large hexĆhead screws.
. Remove the mounting plates from the pallets (see Figure 5).

. A seismic installation of the UPS requires that the mounting plates be bolted to
the floor. See Figure 6 for a detailed drill and mounting pattern. If a seismic
installation is not required, it is not necessary to bolt the mounting plates to
the floor.
For Zone 4, it is recommended to use 5/16 I selfĆdrill bolts and hardware
with 1 5/16 I minimum embedment for 3000PSIĆstrength concrete. Refer to
your local building codes for seismic mounting requirements.
