Computer Network Security Recommendations
When configuring devices such as PC servers, clients, gateways, and Intelligent Electronic Devices (including UPS products
equipped with data communications capabilities) to interconnect over existing LAN's or other IT infrastructure, it is necessary to
take appropriate precautions to ensure the secure and stable operation of these systems and the data that resides on them:
x
For PC's running client and/or server applications, an antivirus solution should be installed and set to automatically update
the program and virus definition files. For operating systems such as Microsoft Windows XP, Automatic Update functionality
should be enabled.
x
Unique usernames and passwords should be applied wherever such a feature is available, including but not limited to,
operating systems, HMI application software, or configuration and control of gateways, firewalls, and Intelligent Electronic
Devices. Factory default passwords or blank passwords should always be changed prior to commissioning any system.
x
A VPN/Firewall appliance should be installed between the devices and the rest of the IT infrastructure to which they are
connected (both Intranet and Internet). As a minimum, these appliances should be configured to only permit
communications between the devices being protected and the specific external systems, which are intended and authorized
to communicate with them.
CAUTION
Failure to take such preventative security measures could result in loss or misuse of data
collected by these systems, and in some cases could permit unauthorized access to the control
and settings functions of the devices being monitored.
8 - Maintenance and Storage
8.1
Maintenance
8.1.1. Keep the UPS unit clean and vacuum the ventilation intake periodically.
8.1.2. Wipe with soft loose and damp cloth.
8.1.3. Check for loose and bad connections monthly.
8.1.4. Never leave the UPS unit on an uneven surface.
8.1.5. Position the unit to allow at least 10cm (4 inches) clearance between the rear panel and any obstruction such as walls.
Keep UPS ventilation intake open and unobstructed.
8.1.6. Avoid direct sunlight, rain and high humidity.
8.1.7. Keep away from fire and extreme over-temperature locations.
8.1.8. Do not stack materials on top of the unit.
8.1.9. The UPS unit should not be exposed to corrosive air.
8.1.10.
Normal operating temperature is 0 to 35°C
(32 to 95°F).
8.2
Storage Conditions
Store the UPS covered and upright in a cool and dry location, with its battery fully charged. Before storing, charge the UPS for at
least 4 (four) hours. Remove any accessories in the communication slot and disconnect any cables connected to the computer
interface port to avoid unnecessary draining of the battery.
8.3
Extended Storage Conditions
8.2.1. Storage in an environment where the ambient temperature is -15 to +30°C (+5 to +86°F), charge the UPS‘s battery
every 6 (six) months.
8.2.2. Storage in an environment where the ambient temperature is +30 to +45°C (+86 to +113°F), charge the UPS‘s
battery every 3 (three) months.
