4. Installation
Installation should be carefully considered and all aspects of the specifications should be
understood to determine a suitable location and way of installing the battery.
4.1. Location and Environment
The location of the battery should be in accordance with the IP rating and operating temperature range
specified in the specification section of this manual.
The location of the batteries should meet the below conditions:
• The Battery should not be installed where direct contact of salt air may be possible. If unavoidable,
appropriate air filtration must used to prevent salt air contacting the battery, and the battery installation
should be indoors or an IP66 or greater enclosure.
• The floor is level and free from obstructions.
• There are no explosive or flammable materials nearby.
• The Ideal Temperature around the battery is between 0 and 45°C.
• Operation of charge and discharge outside of the Ideal Temperature should be limited to 0.2C and still
remain within the Operating Temperature Range as specified in the specification.
• The temperature and humidity should remain as constant as possible.
• The area is of a clean environment with minimal dust.
• The area or enclosure is vermin proof to suit your environmental locations.
• The batteries and battery cabinets/housings are not exposed to direct sunlight.
The Eco P Series battery is designed to be installed in a 19 inch data rack assembly or an electrical
enclosure of your choice. If the battery is to be installed outdoors a suitable IP54 or great enclosure should
be used.
4.1.1. Extreme Humidity Climates
When our batteries are being installed in climates of extreme humidity, extra precaution should be taken.
• A humidity control agent (i.e. chemical which absorbs humidity) may be required inside the enclosure,
with controlled airflow to expel moist air.
• And or, the battery system to be installed in a moisture and climate controlled room (example, reverse
cycle air-conditioner cooled).
• The temperature of the cabinet should be held at a temperature above dew point at all times.
