2.3.2 Storing the UPS and Batteries for Delayed Installation
If the system will not be installed immediately, store it indoors in a clean, dry, and cool location (see Specifications on page
29). The batteries’ requirements dictate the storage conditions. Unpack, install and charge batteries as soon as possible
after delivery.
NOTICE
Risk of failure to properly charge batteries. Can cause permanent damage to batteries and void the warranty.
Batteries will discharge during storage. Batteries must be recharged as recommended by the battery
manufacturer. A notice of “Charge Before Date” is affixed to each cabinet that has batteries inside. The “Charge
Before Date” is calculated based on storing the batteries at 77°F (25°C). Storage at a higher temperature will
increase the rate of self-discharge, which requires earlier recharge. Consult the battery manufacturer on how to
determine when the batteries need to be recharged.
2.4 Positioning
The cabinet is structurally designed to permit lifting from the base with a forklift, pallet jack or similar equipment.
Access to the power terminals, auxiliary terminal blocks and power switches is from the front and top.
Removable panels on the top are secured by screws. The door can be opened for access to the power connection bars,
auxiliary terminal blocks and power isolators. The front door can be opened 180 degrees for service and installation.
2.4.1 Moving the Cabinets
Plan the travel route between the point of arrival and the unit’s final position to make sure that all passages are wide enough
for the unit and that floors are capable of supporting its weight. Check that doorways, lifts, ramps and so on are adequate
and that there are no impassable corners or changes in the level of corridors that would prevent passage.
Ensure that the cabinet weight is within the designated surface weight loading (kg/cm
2
) of any handling equipment. For
weights, see Specifications on page 29.
Move the battery cabinet with a forklift or similar equipment. The bottom structure of the cabinet will support the unit only if
the forks are completely beneath the unit.
Ensure that any equipment used in moving the cabinet has sufficient lifting capacity to transport the unit. Care must be
taken to protect the panels. Do not tilt the cabinet more than 15 degrees.
Handling with straps is not authorized.
WARNING! Risk of heavy unit falling over. Improper handling can cause equipment damage, injury or death.
Because the weight distribution in the cabinet is uneven, use extreme care while handling and transporting.
Take extreme care when handling UPS cabinets to avoid equipment damage or injury to personnel. Locate
center of gravity symbols and determine unit weight before handling each cabinet. Test lift and balance the
cabinets before transporting. Maintain minimum tilt from vertical at all times. For weights, see
Specifications
on page 29.
2.4.2 Clearances
The battery system has no ventilation grilles at either side or at the rear. Leave a distance of 24 in. (610 mm) between the
top of the unit and any overhead obstacles or ceiling for service access and adequate air circulation. Clearance around the
front of the equipment should be sufficient to enable free passage of personnel with the doors fully opened.
