Creating an Installation Plan

Before installing the UPS system, read and understand how this manual applies to the system being installed.
Use the procedures and illustrations in paragraph 3.2 and Chapter 4 to create a logical plan for installing the
system.
3.2

Preparing the Site

For the UPS system to operate at peak efficiency, the installation site should meet the environmental
parameters outlined in this manual. If the UPS is to be operated at an altitude higher than 1000m (3300 ft),
contact an Eaton service representative for important information about high altitude operation. The operating
environment must meet the weight, clearance, and environmental requirements specified.

3.2.1 Environmental and Installation Considerations

The UPS system installation must meet the following guidelines:
• The system must be installed on a level floor suitable for computer or electronic equipment.
• Suitable for mounting on concrete or other non-combustible surfaces only.
• The system must be installed in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants.
NOTE Startup and operational checks for parallel systems or installations with accessory
cabinets must be performed by an authorised Eaton Customer Service Engineer, or the
warranty terms may become void. This service is offered as part of the sales contract for
the UPS. Contact an Eaton service representative in advance (usually a two-week notice
is required) to reserve a preferred startup date.
Installation may only be carried out by qualified technicians and in conformity with the applicable
safety standards.
The UPS unit is not suitable for IT or corner-earthed power distribution systems.
