Preparing Your Site; Environment Considerations; Preparing For Wiring The Ups System - Powerware 9315 Installation Manual

Preparing Your Site

For your UPS system to operate at peak efficiency, your installation site should
meet the environmental parameters outlined in the operator's manual for the UPS.
If you intend to operate the UPS 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 Table R of Appendix A.
The basic environmental requirements for operation of the UPS system are:
Ambient Temperature Range: 0---40˚ C (32---104˚ F)
Recommended Operating Range: 20---25˚ C (68---77˚ F)
Maximum Relative Humidity: 95%
The UPS cabinet uses forced air cooling to regulate internal component temperature.
The 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.

Environment Considerations

The life of the UPS system will be adversely affected if the installation does not
meet the following guidelines:
1.
The UPS system must be installed on a sealed concrete pad on a sealed
concrete floor.
2.
The UPS system must be installed in a dust-free environment.
3.
The UPS system must be installed in a humidity-controlled environment.

Preparing for Wiring the UPS System

For external wiring requirements, including the minimum AWG size of external
wiring, see Tables J through L in Appendix A. The power wiring for this equipment
is rated at 75˚C. If wire is run in an ambient temperature greater than 30˚C, higher
temperature and/or larger size wire may be necessary. Wiring for optional
accessories (such as a Remote Monitor Panel (RMP) or Relay Interface Module
(RIM)) should be installed through the 28.6 mm (1.1 in.) knockout in the bottom of
the UPS cabinet. The top entry connection requires installation of ½-in. flexible
conduit within the UPS. Bottom entry connection requires no additional routing of
conduit within the UPS.
