Wall Mounting

Tools Required:

Masking tape

Drill and drill bits for pilot holes

Mounting hardware kit (included with unit)

Install the UPS on a 1.25 inch (3 cm) thick wood mounting board. Attach the
wood mounting board securely to the wall so that it can safely support the
UPSs weight. Four #12 x 1.25 inch tapping screws are supplied for attaching
the UPS to the wood mounting board.

The UPS requires 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance on the rear panel side for

ventilation and cable connections, and 7 inches (18 cm) of clearance on the
front panel side for internal battery replacement.

Install the UPS so its AC input cord can reach a grounded power outlet and

make sure the cords connecting the loads are long enough to reach the

loads.

The UPS can be mounted with the front panel facing right or left but the

internal batteries are easier to remove if the front panel is facing right.

1.

Place the mounting template on the wood mounting board with the top of
the template facing up.

2.

Use a level to align the template at the template leveling line. Use masking
tape to temporarily secure the template to the wood mounting board.

3.

Drill four pilot holes through the template at the screw locations marked 

S in

the template.

4.

Remove the template.

5.

Use the tapping screws to install the lower bracket onto the wood mounting
board. Level the top surface of the mounting bracket and tighten the

screws.

Requires

 Phillips Screwdriver
