Performing Preventive Maintenance
The Parallel system requires very little preventive maintenance. However, the
system should be inspected periodically to verify that the units are operating
normally and that the batteries are in good condition.
Perform the following checks DAILY:
1.
Check the area surrounding the Parallel system. Ensure the area is not
cluttered, allowing free access to the unit.
2.
Ensure the air intakes (vents on the front) and exhaust opening
(on rear of the UPS and Parallel cabinets) are not blocked.
3.
Ensure there is at least 6 inches of clearance behind the unit for proper air
circulation.
4.
Ensure the operating environment is within the parameters specified in
Chapter 7, “Product Specifications.”
5.
Ensure the UPMs and the Parallel cabinet are in Normal mode (Normal status
indicator is illuminated). If an alarm lamp is illuminated or the Normal status
indicators are not illuminated, contact Powerware Customer Service.
6.
Ensure the red DO NOT CLOSE LEDs are not illuminated). An illuminated LED
represents a condition where a service disconnect switch is open and should
not be closed. These switches are not customer accessible and a qualified
service representative must be contacted to perform corrective action. To
schedule a service call, contact Powerware Customer Service.
Perform the following checks MONTHLY:
1.
Monitor UPM parameters as described in “Using the Control Panel” of the
Powerware BPIV UPS Installation and Operation Manual referenced in the
Introduction to this manual.
2.
Record the results of your checks and any corrective actions in a suitable log.
ANNUAL maintenance:
Annual preventive maintenance should be performed only by authorized service
personnel familiar with maintenance and servicing of the Parallel system. Contact
your nearest field service office for more information about service offerings.
