3.1.3 Unpacking the UPS
Note: Do not unpack the equipment if you intend to put it into storage prior to use (see paragraph 3.1.5).
The UPS cabinet is fitted with castors to enable it to be wheeled into position once unpacked. Before you
remove the cabinet from its shipping packaging you should ensure that the floor surface is level and suitable
for wheeling the cabinet into its final position and that it is able to safely support the weight of the UPS
equipment – UPS cabinet plus batteries.
1. Remove cardboard packing container by carefully cutting through the securing bands then pulling the
container upwards.
2. Remove the protective polythene cover and any other packing from around the UPS.
3. Remove the fixings screws that are used to secure the UPS feet to the pallet base, then carefully remove
the UPS from the pallet.
4. Retain the packaging materials for future shipment of the UPS.
5. Examine the UPS for signs of damage and notify your carrier or supplier immediately if any damage is
apparent.
Checking the nameplate
Before proceeding further with the installation process, check that the technical specifications on the
nameplate located on the rear of the UPS or behind the front internal door, corresponds to the purchased
material detailed in the goods delivery note.
3.1.4 Batteries
The UPS normally uses sealed, maintenance-free batteries mounted on shelves within the UPS cabinet or,
alternatively housed in an external battery cabinet.
The batteries are usually shipped separately and fitted by a manufacturer-approved engineer when the UPS
is commissioned. Unless the batteries are to be stored
(see paragraph 3.1.5) , leave them in their packaging
until the UPS is commissioned
3.1.5 Storage
UPS Cabinet storage
If you plan to store the UPS cabinet prior to installation, it should be kept in a clean, dry environment with an
ambient temperature b5°C to +40°C and relative humidity <90%.
The UPS cabinet should preferably be stored in its original shipping packaging. If it is removed from its
packing container you must take measures to ensure it is protected from dust.
Battery storage
Batteries should be stored in a dry, clean, cool environment and preferably in their original packaging. If the
packaging is removed the batteries must be protected from dust and humidity.
When stored, all batteries will self-discharge at a rate that is greatly determined by the ambient temperature.
Batteries should be fully charged before being put into storage and if stored for a long period they should be
recharged periodically to prevent them from losing their original capacity. As a guide, the batteries should not
be stored in a particular ambient temperature for longer than the periods shown below without being
recharged:
• 6 months at 20°C
• 3 months at 30°C
• 2 months at 35°C
WARNING: If the UPS is purchased and supplied without batteries, Uninterruptible Power
Supplies Ltd. will not accept responsibility for any damage or malfunctioning caused to the
UPS by the incorrect supply, storage, installation or connection of batteries by third parties.
