4.4 Place of installation

4.4.1 UPS location

Note!
UPS installation and connection must be performed only by an ABB Service Technician!
If optional cabinets and accessories are included with the UPS, please refer to those accompanying
manuals for installation and operating instructions.
The UPS is intended for use in electrical rooms.
Do not locate or stock easily flammable materials in the same room as the UPS.
It is important to have a clean, dust-free environment provided with proper ventilation and air-conditioning to
keep the ambient temperature within the specified operating range.
The recommended air inlet temperature is from 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) (max. 104°F / 40°C).
Refer to Section 4.5.
Check for sufficient floor load capacity before installing the UPS and the Battery.
Refer to Section 4.1.1.
For Battery installation follow the local codes and the recommendation of the Battery supplier.
Note!
Operation at temperatures higher than 77°F (25°C) will reduce Battery life.
Potential consequences are explained in the User Manual to Section 9.1.4: read and understand
them.
The MegaFlex 1000 to 1600 UPS can radiate radio frequency energy.
Although some RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) filtering is inherent to the UPS there is no guarantee that the
UPS will not influence sensitive devices such as cameras and monitors that are positioned close by.
If interference is expected, the UPS should be moved away from the sensitive equipment.

4.4.2 Later commissioning

It's not recommended to unpack UPS until commissioning can be performed. In any case, care must be taken to
prevent foreign object to fall into UPS openings (e.g. debris due to construction works or fasteners). Do not
perform construction work over the UPS cabinet.

4.4.3 Altitude

Maximum altitude of installation without derating is 3300 ft (1000 m).

4.4.4 Positioning of the UPS

The rear panel of the UPS may be mounted flush to a wall or
other structure.
Clearance around the front of the unit should be sufficient
to enable free passage of personnel with the doors fully
open, and to allow sufficient airflow to the door vents.
Check Section 110-26(A) of the NEC code for specific
requirements.
To guarantee proper cooling air exhaust, the mandatory
minimum clearance between ceiling and top of the UPS is
18" (460 mm).
A single-phase power outlet (120Vac) should be provided
near the UPS for connection of power tools, test
equipment or connectivity devices.
This outlet must be grounded.
