PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Transportation
The UPS must be handled with care and given special attention due to the high amount of energy
stored within its internal sealed, lead-acid batteries. Please retain the shipping containers in the unlikely
event the UPS need to be returned for service. The containers have been specifically designed to ship
the UPS system safely.
Operating Conditions
This UPS must be installed in a protected environment, free from moisture, fl ammable gases or fumes
and corrosive substances.
Operate the UPS in a protected environment within the temperature range of -20ºC to 55ºC (-4ºF to
131ºF). A temperature of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) will maximize the battery life which is rated at 12
years at 25°C (77°F). This UPS is designed for use with industrial, scienti
fi c or data processing class
equipment.
The SSG Industrial UPS requires minimal maintenance or monitoring if the documented installation,
environmental and operational specifications have been met. The items provided below are basic
preventative maintenance measures to maintain UPS service life:

Cooling Fans:
o
Assure the cooling fan guards / vents are free of dirt / dust build up every 6 to 12
months depending on environment. The UPS vents are located on the rear and / or
front panel of the UPS.

Ambient Temperature:
o
Monitor ambient temperature to ensure it is within the UPS specification. This is
critical to maintain maximum battery life.

Batteries:
o
To maintain optimum battery life, the user should operate the UPS in an ambient
temperature of 25ºC to 30ºC (77ºF to 86ºF). At higher temperatures, battery life will
be significantly reduced.
o
As the ambient temperature rises, monitor the battery capacity by performing a
battery self-test every 6 to 12 months.
