OCATION
Prior to installation, verify floor loading requirements and all applicable codes pertaining to the
related equipment. Environmental conditions should also be reviewed. Battery systems require
an area with proper ventilation and cooling. An ambient temperature between 20°C to 25°C
(68°F to 77°F) is recommended for optimum battery life and performance. The cabinet has vent
holes located at the front and rear of the system. Never install the cabinet into a sealed
enclosure. Clearance around the equipment should be as suggested by NEC and/or all applicable
national and local codes.

Under certain conditions, batteries can vent potentially explosive gas (hydrogen).
Never enclose batteries or battery cabinets in a sealed room.
Battery cabinet systems are extremely heavy. Use a minimum of two people when
unloading and setting equipment in place.

For multi cabinet systems, each cabinet needs to have a designated cabinet ground
wire derived from the main building ground source.
