Environmental and mechanical planning
3.2.1 Environmental considerations
It is essential that the following environmental guidelines are observed when planning a suitable UPS location and
operating environment.
1. The route between the equipment off-loading point and the installation location must allow the equipment to be
transported in an upright position.
2. The floor at the proposed installation site and en-route from the off-loading point must be able to safely take the weight
of the UPS and battery equipment plus any transport aids used during transit.
3. Locations with high ambient temperature, moisture or humidity must be avoided.
a) The installation site humidity should be <95% non-condensing.
b) The specified equipment ambient temperature is 0°C to +40°C but ideally this should be around 20°C to 25°C.
c) A battery temperature of 20°C to 25°C is recommended to achieve a long battery life.
d) The air conditioning system must be able to provide a sufficient amount of cooling air to keep the room within the
prescribed temperature range.
e) The air entering the UPS must not 40°C.
4. To obtain the best system performance the following environmental conditions should also be considered:
a) Fire protection standards must be respected.
b) The location must be free of dust and corrosive, or explosive, gases.
c) The location must be vibration free.
d) If the UPS is located in bayed enclosures, partition walls must be installed.
e) The minimum cabinet clearances described below must be provided.
