SITE INSPECTION AND INSTALLATION CONDITIONS
REGULATIONS AND LEGAL DIRECTIVES
It is necessary to check that installation site, wiring and power protection in the installation supplied by end user, fulfill
technical parameters required by UPS.
A particular installation might accomplish with UPS requirements but not with local directives and regulations.
The end user and/or electrical contractor will be responsible of watching for complying with electrical regulations and
normative during electrical installation managed by end user.
Inspection performed by installation technician is not intended to confirm regulations and directives accomplishing but only
with technical needs for optimal UPS operation.
SITE INSPECTION
•
During transport of this UPS from a cold place to a warmer and more humid one, some condensation could be
generated. Leave the UPS for at least 2 hours to climate to new installation site.
•
Do not install the UPS outdoors or near water sources nor in wet environment
•
Do not install the UPS in sites exposed to sun light or heat sources. Temperature at operation site should never rise
over 35 ºC. Batteries’ life shortens over 25 ºC.
•
Installation site must be dry, fresh, free of dust, fibers and any other objects (conductors or not) suspended in the
air that could get into the UPS thru the ventilation system (Fan).
•
Do not block UPS ventilations
UPS INPUT AND OUTPUT POWER LINES PROTECTION
AC LINES PROTECTIONS DEVICES:
All UPS Inputs and outputs must be protected by circuit breakers and current leak protections. Protection capacity and type
must fulfill local regulations as well as directives from this manual. Grounding must be according to local directives as well.
DC PROTECTIONS DEVICES:
For Ex models (with external batteries) there must be also DC Circuit Breakers between UPS and battery bank.
Some Models include a DC breaker on the rear panel for external battery pack protection; otherwise an external DC Circuit
breaker must be installed.
MATERIALS AND ELECTRICAL DEVICES
WARNING:
Verify that all electrical lines involved in installation are open circuits and free of dangerous voltages before
starting inspection tasks. All switches related to these electrical lines must be in
“OFF”
position before starting UPS
installation. After disconnecting power from electrical lines involved in installation, check again with a digital voltmeter that are
free of dangerous voltages.
IMPORTANT: Warning label must be placed on primary involved circuit breakers to alert there are maintenance
personnel working on these circuits to avoid accidental actuation on involved breakers.
