Battery Location - GE FGC TLE Series Manual

4.4.2 Battery location

Batteries require a well-ventilated room with controlled temperature to obtain reliable operation.
The Battery can be installed immediately adjacent to the UPS (left or right side) or remotely from the
UPS.
If the Battery is installed remotely from the UPS, a wall mounted DC disconnect device must be installed
within line-of-site to both the UPS and the Battery.
The optimal room temperature for Battery storage is 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) and shall never exceed
the range -4°F (-20°C) to 104°F (40°C).
The life of valve-regulated batteries will be reduced by 50% for each additional 18°F (10°C) that the
battery ambient temperature is above 77°F (25°C).
The Battery System associated with larger UPS is usually either rack mounted or installed in multiple
Battery Cabinets.
Installation and assembly must be made according to the local standards and Battery System
manufacturer's recommendations.
The Battery Circuit Breaker or Battery Fuse Box must be mounted as near as possible to the Battery.
WARNING !
Battery installation and connection must be performed by qualified personnel
only.
Read all safety instructions before proceeding with the installation (see Section 1).
Battery discharging and/or charging activities may cause the emission of
hydrogen gas; therefore, the room requires proper ventilation and fresh air.
Comply with the UL1778-CSAC22.2no170.3 UPS safety standard, ANSI/IEEE P1184
Guide for Batteries for Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems and applicable codes
and governmental regulations.
