Location Guidelines
Keep the following guidelines in mind when choosing the location for your system and batteries:
•
Verify that the environment meets the requirements in “Storage and Operating Environment” on
page 7. The environment can affect the reliability and performance of both the unit and the
batteries.
•
Install any separate battery cabinets as close as possible to the unit to reduce the cost of DC
wiring and to improve battery performance. We recommend no clearance between the unit and
the battery cabinet; in other words, the battery cabinet should be next to (against) the right side of
the unit (when you face the front of the unit). If you must place the battery cabinet away from the
unit, you must supply the proper length, gauge, and type of battery cables, and you must make
sure the installation meets the applicable NEC or (CEC) requirements.
•
Choose a permanent location for the unit and any battery cabinets. Attempting to move them after
you have installed the batteries can damage the batteries and the cabinet.
CAUTION
Do not move the unit or the battery cabinet after you install the batteries. If you do, the unit or
battery cabinet and batteries may be damaged.
CEC requires the unit to be located in a service room. If the room is equipped with a sprinkler
system, the unit must be provided with sprinkler proof covers.
This equipment is heavy. Refer to Table 3.4 when you choose a site to make sure that the floor
can support the weight of the system, the batteries, any separate battery cabinets, and any other
necessary equipment.
Table 3.4 System Weight [in lbs. (kg)]
Receiving and Moving the Unit and the Batteries
Systems weigh several hundred pounds; separate battery cabinets are also heavy (see Table 3.4;
ask your sales representative for additional information). Make sure you are prepared for these
weights before you unload or move the unit or the batteries. Do not install any batteries until you have
permanently installed the unit and any battery cabinets and connected all conduit and wiring.
