Detailed instructions to help you install the UPS are provided in the following pages; however, you should give some
consideration to the proposed environment in which the UPS is to be installed, and carry out some preparatory work.

Unpacking and inspection

Before you install the UPS, give it a thorough visual examination to ensure it has not been subjected to shipping damage.
If it is not in perfect condition, you should advise both the shipper and the supplier immediately. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO INSTALL A DAMAGED UPS.
Before disposing of the UPS packaging, check that you have removed to a safe place the user manual and any other
items shipped with the unit to be used in its installation.
GXT3x1-6kVA UPS weighs up to 227kg (500 lbs)- GXT3x1-8&10 kVA UPS weighs up to 284kg (626 lbs).
The UPS is fitted with castor wheels for easy movement. Take care when the UPS is removed from its packing and
being wheeled across an uneven floor without the stabilisers fitted, that it does not tip over.
Check the UPS rating plate that the UPS is suitable for operation on your MAINS voltage and load voltage
requirements before installing.
2.3

Location

Locate the UPStation GXT indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot be accidentally disconnected. Locate it
in an area with unrestricted airflow, away from water, flammable liquids, gases, corrosives, or conductive contaminants.
Air vents are located at the front and rear of the UPS. Give consideration to the airflow requirements- (see below)- and
allow at least 150mm (6inches) free space around the UPS, with a minimum of 300mm (12inches) at the back to enable
easy operator access to the rear panel mounted input/output/battery circuit breakers.
Electrical maintenance/servicing requires access to both sides of the UPS, provide the necessary free space or use a
flexible wiring system to allow the UPS to be pulled forward.
Maintain an ambient temperature range of 0 - +40° centigrade (32-104° F)
NOTE- UPS operation in temperatures above 25°C (77°F) reduces battery life.
