UPS is UL-listed
and designed for installation on the computer room floor. Its attractive computer-
like appearance and quiet operation eliminate any necessity of creating special
facilities to house the UPS and its battery component. Since all modern computer
rooms utilize environmentally controlled conditions, installation in such a locale
will normally suffice to meet the needs of the UPS.
In the event that computer room installation is not practical, the selection of
a location for the UPS is critical to the performance of the system and to the life
expectancy of its components. Failure to select a site which meets all requirements
specified in this section can result in excessive maintenance problems. For
environmental considerations, please see the Installation Information at the end of
this section.
Operating temperature range for batteries is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
Battery warranty is conditional upon application at or below 25°C (75°F).
Continuous operation above 25°C may reduce or void battery warranty.
The
BalancedPower
Plus
battery pack supplied by International Power
Machines is listed by Underwriters Laboratories only for use with the

UPS.

The following steps should be taken, in the order indicated:
