Align the cables on the battery terminals so that the cable lug will not contact any part
of the cabinet even if the battery is moved. Keep the cable away from any sharp metal
edges.
S
Install the battery cables so they cannot be pinched by the external battery cabinet or
UPS doors.

Verify that the fuse is positioned so that it will not contact any cabinet parts or other
battery posts if the batteries should move. Confirm that that there is enough clearance
when the cabinet door closes.
S
The external battery cabinet chassis (ground or earth) must be connected to the UPS
chassis (ground or earth). If you use conduit, this ground conductor must be routed in the
same conduit as the battery conductors.

Where conductors may be exposed to physical damage, protect the conductors in
accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70-1993.
