8.0 MAINTENANCE
T
he FN Series UPS requires very little maintenance. The batteries are located behind the UPS front panel
and consist of (5) hot-swappable, user replaceable packs containing (4) Yuasa 12V, 7AH or equivalent,
sealed, VRLA, maintenance-free, lead-acid batteries (20 batteries total).
Batteries must be kept recharged to prevent excessive self-discharging, which may result in their
premature failure.
The UPS will continuously recharge the batteries when plugged in and turned on.
When not in use, batteries must be recharged every 6 months to keep your warranty valid.
1. The UPS and Battery Care
Keep the area around the UPS clean and dust free. If the area around the UPS becomes very dusty, clean
the area and the UPS with a vacuum cleaner. To assure the full 3-5 year battery life, keep the UPS at an
ambient temperature of 77ºF (25ºC). No other battery maintenance is required.
2. Storing the UPS and Batteries
When storing the UPS for any amount of time, it is recommended to connect and turn on the UPS for at least
24 hours, every four to six months to ensure full recharging of the batteries. This will prevent excessive
battery self-discharge.
3. When to Replace Batteries
We suggest the battery pack(s) be replaced every 3-5 years for FN units that are operated and maintained in
a 77ºF (25ºC) environment. Higher temperature operating environments will decrease the
battery life. Typically, if the UPS is installed in a 104ºF (40ºC) operating environment, the batteries will need
to be replaced once a year.
In order to assure the performance of the FN Series UPS, check the battery every two to three months by
performing a UPS self-test. If at any time the UPS LCD panel displays the weak or defective battery icon or
error code, the batteries need replacing. Contact the Falcon Electric Service Department to order replacement
battery packs or batteries.
4. Battery Pack Replacement
With the hot-swappable battery pack feature, the FN Series UPS battery pack is easily replaced, without
having to turn the UPS off or disconnect the load. Refer to the battery pack replacement section of this manu-
al for detailed replacement instructions.
NOTE!
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE BATTERY PACKS WHILE THE UPS IS IN
BATTERY MODE
