For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS
clean and dust‐free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of
the system with a vacuum cleaner.
For full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of
25°C (77°F).
NOTE The batteries in the UPS are rated for a 3–5 year service life. The length of service
life varies, depending on the frequency of usage and ambient temperature. Batteries used
beyond expected service life will often have severely reduced runtimes. Replace batteries at
least every 5 years to keep units running at peak efficiency.
NOTE The internal UPS batteries MUST be disconnected.
If the UPS requires any type of transportation:
1. Verify that the UPS is unplugged and turned off.
2. Disconnect the UPS internal battery connector using the steps in
"Connecting the UPS Internal Battery" on page 20 in reverse order.
