2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
2.1 Pre-Installation Planning
This section describes the requirements that must be taken into account when planning the positioning and cabling of the
UPS and related equipment.
Installing personnel should observer these general procedures and practices. The particular conditions of each site will
determine the applicability of such procedures.
WARNING! Risk of electrical shock. Can cause injury or death. Special care must be taken when working with
the batteries associated with this equipment. When the batteries are connected together, the battery-
terminal voltage will exceed 400VDC and is potentially lethal.
NOTE: All equipment not referred to in this manual is shipped with details of its own mechanical and electrical
installation.
NOTICE
Risk of incorrect input power connection. Can cause equipment damage.
The standard Liebert® UPS is suitable for connection to 60-Hz, 3-phase, 3-wire-plus-ground input power.
NOTE: Do not apply electrical power to the UPS equipment before the arrival of the commissioning engineer.
Connecting power before the commissioning engineer determines the system is properly installed may void the
warranty.
2.2 Preliminary Checks
Before installing the equipment, carry out the following preliminary checks:
• Visually examine the equipment for transit damage, both internally and externally. Report any damage to the
shipper and to your Vertiv representative immediately.
• Verify that the correct equipment is being installed. The equipment supplied has an identification tag on the
inside of the main door.
• Verify that the room in which the equipment will be installed satisfies the environmental conditions stipulated
in the equipment specification, paying particular attention to the ambient temperature and air-exchange
system.
2.3 Environmental Considerations
2.3.1 Battery Room
The Battery System is intended for indoor installation and should be located in a cool, dry, clean-air environment with
adequate ventilation to keep the ambient temperature within the specified operating range (see
Specifications on page 29).
Temperature is a major factor in determining battery life and capacity. In a normal installation, the battery temperature
should be kept between 59 and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). Operating above this range will reduce the battery life; operating
below this range will reduce the battery capacity.
NOTE: Battery cabinets are convection-cooled. Keep batteries away from main heat sources, main air inlets and
similar heating, ventilation and cooling features. These can cause inconsistent temperatures in sections of the
batteries and reduce battery life or capacity.
