5.2 Selecting Installation Position

Select a proper environment to install the unit, in order to minimize the possibility of damage to the battery system and
maximize the life of the batteries.
1. Do not block air flow to the ventilation openings of the unit.
2. Ensure environmental conditions of the installation site are in accordance with the unit specifications to avoid overheat
and excessive moisture. Refer to section 4.2 Physical Requirements.
3. Do not place the unit in a dusty or corrosive environment or near any flammable objects.
4. The unit is not designed for outdoor use.
Notes:
• Place the battery cabinet in a clean, stable environment. Avoid vibration, dust, humidity, flammable gases, liquids and corrosives.
• To help prevent high temperatures in the room where the UPS is installed, extractor fans and/or cooling systems are recommended.
• Batteries should be mounted in an environment where the temperature is within the required specifications. Temperature is a key
factor in determining battery life and capacity. Battery temperature should be maintained between 59°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).
Keep batteries away from heat sources, main air ventilation areas, etc.
WARNING!
Typical battery performance data reflects an operating temperature between 59°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).
Operating the UPS above this range will reduce the battery life, while operating the UPS below this range will
reduce battery capacity.
• If the UPS will not be installed immediately, it must be stored in a room without excessive heat or humidity.
