UPS CARE
For the best preventive maintenance:
Keep the area around the equipment clean
Keep the equipment free from dust
Ensure the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area
For maximum battery life keep the equipment at an ambient temperature of 20-25°C (77°F max)
Carry out regular environmental and battery checks
The batteries are rated for a 3-5 year service life. The service life varies depending on the frequency of usage
and ambient temperature. Batteries used beyond expected service life will often have severely reduced
runtimes. Replace batteries at least every 4 years (or sooner if environment and usage dictate) to keep units
running at peak efficiency and prevent failure.
TRANSPORTING THE UPS
The following procedure should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries
and the required precautions. Keep unauthorised personnel away from batteries. If the UPS requires any type
of transportation, the batteries must be disconnected (but not removed) before the unit is transported:
Verify that the UPS is off and disconnected from mains power
Place the UPS on a flat stable surface with the front of the cabinet facing you
Remove the UPS front cover
Disconnect the internal battery connectors
Replace the UPS front cover
To avoid damage on arrival always use a reputable courier for all equipment transportation.
