2.3.1
UPS room
The UPS is designed for indoor installation. The device should be in a clean, ventilated
environment in order to maintain the ambient temperature within the required specifications.
The UPS provides forced convection cooling through internal fans. Cold air enters the unit
through the ventilation openings located in the front of the enclosure and is blown out by the
grills in the rear of the enclosure. Do not block the ventilation openings.
Depending on the conditions of the room, the ventilation openings of the power supply should
be regularly cleaned, eg with a vacuum cleaner. Ventilation will ensure efficient cooling and
longer service life.
Note: The UPS should be installed on a stable and non-flammable surface.
2.3.2
Battery room
In the final charging process, the batteries emit some oxygen and hydrogen into the
environment and therefore require constant fresh air access to the room in which they are
located. Safety requirements for battery compartments are described in PN-EN 50272-2.
The battery temperature should be stable as it is the main parameter that affects battery life
and capacity. The optimal operating temperature of the battery is 15-25 ° C. It is recommended
to maintain a nominal temperature of 20 ° C.
Working at higher temperatures shortens the battery life and reduces the battery capacity in
the lower battery. Each increase in battery operating temperature by another 8 ° C, reduces the
service life by 50%.
Keep batteries away from heat sources and hot air outlets.
When installing batteries outside the UPS, use the battery circuit as close as possible to the
battery. The connecting cables for the batteries and UPS should be as short as possible.
2.3.3
Storage
If the device is not installed and needs to be stored, protect it from excessive humidity and high
temperatures. Keep batteries in a dry and cool place with good ventilation. The most suitable
storage temperature for batteries is 20-25 ° C.
