3.4  PLACE OF INSTALLATION 

 

3.4.1  UPS location 

 

WARNING ! 

A QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR must carry out the installation and cabling 
of the UPS. 
If optional cabinets and accessories are included with the UPS, please refer to those 
accompanying manuals for installation and operating instructions. 

 

It is important to have a clean, dust-free environment provided with proper ventilation and air-
conditioning to keep the ambient temperature within the specified operating range. 

 

The recommended air inlet temperature is from 

68°F 

(20°C)

 

to

 77°F 

(25°C)

 

(

max. 104°F / 40°C

). 

Refer to 

Section 3.5

 

Check for sufficient floor load capacity before installing the UPS and the 

Battery

Refer to 

Section 3.1.1

 

For 

Battery

 installation follow the local codes and the recommendation of the battery supplier. 

 

 

NOTE ! 

Temperature is very important for valve-regulated batteries (maintenance free). 
Operation at temperatures higher than 77°F (25°C) will reduce battery life.

 

 

The 

SG Series 400 & 500

 

UPS can radiate radio frequency energy. 

Although some RFI filtering is inherent to the UPS there is no guarantee that the UPS will not influence 
sensitive devices such as cameras and monitors that are positioned close by. 
If interference is expected, the UPS should be moved away from the sensitive equipment. 

 

A single-phase power outlet (120Vac) should be provided near the UPS for connection of power tools, 
test equipment or connectivity devices. This outlet must be grounded.

400 & 500 clearances

 

The rear panel of the UPS may be mounted flush 
to a wall or other structure. 
 
Clearance around the front of the unit should be 
sufficient to enable free passage of personnel with 
the doors fully open, and to allow sufficient airflow 
to the door vents. 

Check section 110-26(A) of the NEC code for 
specific requirements. 

 
Recommended minimum clearance between 

ceiling and top of the UPS should be 

20” (500 mm

for proper cooling air exhaust. 
 
In case of additional cabinets (external Batteries or 
input, output transformers) these can be placed on 
either side of the cabinet.
