Equipment Location; Battery Installation; Battery Safety Precautions - Liebert Series 600T Installation Manual

5. EQUIPMENT LOCATION

1. Handle cabinet(s) in accordance with WARN-
INGS in Section 3. Use a suitable material
handling device to move each cabinet to its
final location. Exercise extreme care
because of the uneven weight distribu-
tion. Carefully lower the cabinets to the floor
and position them for reconnection, if applica-
ble.
2. Verify that the UPS system is installed in a
clean, cool and dry location. Observe the
location of overhead water lines for fire
sprinkler systems. Avoid placing the UPS and
related equipment directly under water lines
or within range of a sprinkler head.
3. Installation and serviceability will be easier if
adequate access is provided on all sides of the
equipment, but only front access is required.
a. Verify that there is adequate clearance to
open cabinet doors (4 feet is recommended).
See drawings and local codes.
b. Verify that there is adequate area in front of
circuit breakers to perform maintenance.
Check installation drawings for location of
breakers. Check with local codes.
c. Verify that there is adequate clearance
above all cabinets to allow exhaust air to
flow without restriction (2 feet minimum,
unobstructed).
4. Connect the cabinets, internal cables and bus
bars, if applicable.

6. BATTERY INSTALLATION

6.1. Battery Safety Precautions

Battery installation and servicing should be
performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the required
precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away
from batteries.
Be sure to observe the grounding recommendations
in Section 7 when installing batteries. When
replacing batteries, use the same number and type
of batteries.

CAUTION
Lead-acid batteries contain hazardous
materials. Batteries must be handled,
transported, and recycled or discarded in
accordance with federal, state, and local
regulations. Because lead is a toxic
substance, lead-acid batteries should be
recycled rather than discarded.
Do not open or mutilate the battery or
batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful
to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. Do
not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire.
The battery may explode.
A battery can present a risk of electrical
shock and high short-circuit current. The
following precautions should be observed
when working on batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal
objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of
batteries.
5. Disconnect charging source prior to
connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadver-
tently grounded. If it is inadvertently
grounded, remove source of ground.
Contact with any part of a grounded
battery can result in electrical shock.
The likelihood of such shock will be
reduced if such grounds are removed
during installation and maintenance.
Lead-acid batteries can present a risk of
fire because they generate hydrogen gas.
The following procedures should be
followed:
1. DO NOT SMOKE when near batteries.
2. DO NOT cause flame or spark in
battery area.
3. Discharge static electricity from body
before touching batteries by first
touching a grounded metal surface.
