Battery Location
Batteries must be installed in Liebert NX 480V battery cabinets or battery room. Temperature is a
major factor in determining battery life and capacity. Battery manufacturers recommend an
operating temperature of 77°F (25°C). Ambient temperatures higher than this reduce battery life;
temperatures lower than this reduce battery capacity. In a typical installation, battery temperature
should be maintained between 74°F and 80°F (23-27°C). Batteries should be placed where there are
no main heat sources or air inlets to prevent portions of batteries from being either much warmer or
much cooler than other parts of the batteries.

Special Considerations for Parallel Systems
1. Consider the grounding configuration of your system before finalizing module placement. For
optimal ground performance, the Liebert NX modules should be close together.
2. For optimal load-sharing performance, the UPS output cables should be approximately the same
length, plus or minus 20 percent.
3. Position modules in such a way as to minimize the length of power cables and control wiring
between UPS modules and the paralleling cabinet.

Considerations in Moving the Liebert NX
Ensure that the UPS weight is within the designated surface weight loading (lb./ft
handling equipment. See Table 7 for weights of various units.
To move the UPS and optional battery cabinets:
• The Liebert NX may be rolled on its casters when moving the unit a short distance. For longer dis-
tances, move the UPS with a forklift or similar equipment to ease the relocation and to reduce
vibration.
The optional battery cabinets should be moved with a forklift or similar equipment.
WARNING
!
Risk of heavy unit falling. Can cause property damage, injury and death.
Ensure that any equipment that will be used to move the Liebert NX has sufficient lifting
capacity. The Liebert NX weight ranges from 1180 to 2201 lb. (535 to 1000kg). See Table 7 for
details. The UPS presents a tipping hazard. Do not tilt the Liebert NX further than 15
degrees from vertical.
The UPS is fitted with casters—take care to prevent movement when unbolting the
equipment from its shipping pallet. Ensure adequate personnel and lifting equipment are
available when taking the Liebert NX off its shipping pallet. Do not tilt the unit more than 15
degrees from center.
WARNING
!
Risk of heavy unit falling. Can cause property damage, injury and death.
The casters are strong enough for movement across even surfaces only. Casters may fail if
they are subjected to shock loading, such as being dropped or rolled over holes in the floor or
obstructions. Such failure may cause the unit to tip over, injuring personnel and damaging
the equipment.
Care must be taken when maneuvering cabinets fitted with batteries. Keep such moves to a
minimum. For further information, see Battery Cabinet Precautions on page 3.
Final Position
When the equipment has been finally positioned, ensure that the adjustable stops are set so that the
UPS will remain stationary and stable (see 8.0 - Installation Drawings).
