1.1.2

Preparing Your Site

For your Parallel Capacity/Redundant system to operate at peak efficiency, your
installation site should meet the environmental parameters outlined in the operator's
manual for the SBM and UPMs. If you intend to operate the system at an altitude higher
than 1500 meters (5000 feet), contact your local sales or service office for important
information about high altitude operation. The operating environment must meet the
size and weight requirements shown in Drawings 164201150−5, 164201150−9, and
Table H of Appendix A.
The basic environmental requirements for operation of the Parallel
Capacity/Redundant system are:
Ambient Temperature Range:
Recommended Operating Range:
Maximum Relative Humidity:
The UPM cabinets uses forced air cooling to regulate internal component temperature.
The SBM, battery and optional component cabinets use convection cooling to
regulate internal component temperature. Air inlets are in the front of the cabinet, and
outlets are in the top. You must allow clearance in front of and above each cabinet for
proper air circulation.
1.1.3

Environment Considerations

The life of the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system will be adversely affected if the
installation does not meet the following guidelines:
1.
The system must be installed on a sealed concrete pad or a sealed concrete
floor.
2.
The system must be installed in a temperature-controlled indoor area free of
conductive contaminants.
1.1.4 Preparing for Wiring the Parallel Capacity/Redundant
System
For external wiring requirements, including the minimum AWG size of external wiring,
see Tables A and B in Appendix A and the applicable Powerware® 9315 Installation
manual provided with the UPS. The power wiring connections for this equipment are
rated at 90°C. If wire is run in an ambient temperature greater than 30°C, higher
temperature and/or larger size wire may be necessary. Control wiring for PowerNet,
EPO and optional accessories (such as building alarms, monitoring interface and
Maintenance Bypass control) should be connected at the customer interface panel at
the top of the SBM.
