Chapter 2
Mechanical Installation
This section provides a brief introduction to the UPS mechanical installation procedures, including the precautions,
initial inspection before installation, environmental requirement, mechanical requirement and installation diagram.
2.1
Precautions
This section describes the environmental and mechanical requirements and mechanical considerations that must be
taken into account when planning the positioning and cabling of the UPS equipment.
Because no two sites are the same, this section does not provide the detailed installation procedures, and is only
intended to act as a guide for the general procedures and practices that should be carried out by the installing
engineer, so that they can handle the specific situation at the site correctly.
Warning: professional installation required
1. Do not dismantle the packaging without the permission of an authorised service engineer.
2. The UPS should be installed by an authorised engineer in accordance with the information provided in this section.
Warning: battery danger
Take special care when installing batteries. When connecting batteries, the battery terminal voltage will reach 320Vdc,
which is fatal to human beings.
1. Always wear safety glasses to protect the eyes from being damaged by arcing.
2. Remove all the metal items, including finger rings, watch, etc.
3. Use tools with insulated handles.
4. Wear rubber gloves.
5. If batteries are damaged or leak electrolyte they must be replaced. Place the battery into the container that can withstand
sulphuric acid and dispose of it according to the local regulations.
6. In the event of contact with electrolyte, wash the affected are with abundant clean water immediately.
2.2
Transportation
Rail and sea shipping are the recommended transportation methods. If road transportation is unavoidable, choose
roads that are less bumpy in order to protect the equipment.
The UPS cabinet is heavy (see Table 10-3 for the weight). We recommend using mechanical equipment such as an
electric forklift to unload and move the equipment to the place closest to the installation site.
