INSTALLATION RULES

NOTE
Before making any connection and switching on the VH Series UPS, please check the following conditions:
 Your mains supply is 120 Volts and 50/60 Hz.
 The total power demand of the connected equipment does not exceed the rated output power of the VH Series UPS
(refer to chapter 8 for the ratings).
 The UPS is intended to be used in normal domestic and office situations.
 The UPS must be powered from a single phase grounded socket-outlet. Do not use extension cords.
VH3000: This socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
 Place cables in such a way that no one can step on or trip over them.
 Avoid locations that are excessively humid, near water, near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
 The ambient temperature should not exceed 104F (40C). Optimal battery lifetime is obtained if the ambient
temperature does not exceed 86F (30C).
 It is important that ventilation air can move freely around and through the unit. Do not block the air vents.
 Do not plug appliances such as electric heaters, toasters and vacuum cleaners into the UPS. The UPS output can be used
only for electronic loads such as computers and telecommunications equipment.
 Be careful when connecting laser printers: be sure that the demanded power does not exceed the capacity of the UPS.
 The sum of the leakage currents of the UPS and the connected loads should not exceed 3.5mA.
