STORAGE

4.3.1 Storage of the UPS

Some important functions of the UPS, such as the customized functions, are defined by parameters
stored in a RAM memory.
A small backup Battery located on the Control Unit board supplies the RAM.
If the storage time of the UPS exceeds 1 year, these functions should be verified by an authorized
Service Center before putting the UPS into operation.

4.3.2 Storage of Battery

When the delivery includes a maintenance free Battery, keep in mind that they are subject to self-
discharge and therefore you must recharge the Battery.
The storage time without Battery recharge depends on the temperature of the storage site.
The optimal temperature for Battery storage is 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) and shall never exceed the
range -4°F (-20°C) to 104°F (40°C).
Recharge stored maintenance free Battery every:
6 months when the storage temperature is 68°F (20°C)
3 months when the storage temperature is 86°F (30°C)
2 months when the storage temperature is 95°F (35°C)
