3.3 INSTALLATION

A certain amount of pre-planning will help provide a trouble-free installation process. You should

consider the following guidelines when planning the installation location and operating environment.

1. The route to the installation location must allow the equipment to be transported in an upright

position.

2. The floor at the proposed installation site and en-route from the off-loading point must be able to

safely support the weight of the cabinet/battery equipment, plus fork lift or trolley jack during transit.

3. The cabinet requires sufficient front and rear clearance to enable cooling airflow, as described below.

4. All maintenance, servicing and user operation can be carried out from the front of the cabinet, but rear

access is required for connecting the AC and DC power cables.

5. An ambient temperature of 20°C is necessary to achieve the recommended battery life span.

6. The cooling air entering the cabinet must not exceed +40°C.

7. The floor material should be non-flammable and strong enough to support the heavy load.

8. In summary, the system should be installed in a location where:

a) Humidity (< 93%) and temperature is ideally 20°C.

b) Fire protection standards are respected.

c) Cabling can be performed easily.

d) A minimum 800mm front accessibility is available for service or periodic maintenance.

e) Adequate cooling air flow is available.

f) The air conditioning system can provide a sufficient amount of air cooling to keep the room at,

or below, the maximum desired temperature (where used).

g) No dust or corrosive/explosive gases are present.

h) The location is vibration free.

Cooling air enters from the right hand side of the cabinet and exhausts from the left hand side.

a) You should provide a minimum of 800mm clearance at the front of the cabinet to allow the power

module(s) to be removed/installed.

b) You should provide a minimum of 250mm at both sides.

c) The cabinet does not require any rear clearance for cooling purposes so it can be installed immediately

to the wall.
