Storage Of Ups Equipment; Disposal - Toshiba UF1A1A015C6(T) User Manual

Storage of UPS Equipment.

General Guidelines
If the UPS equipment is to be stored; the following guidelines should
be used.
Avoid:
1) Storage in sites subject to extreme changes in temperature or
high humidity.
2) Storage in sites subject to exposure of high levels of dust or
metal particles
3) Storage on inclined floor surfaces or in sites subject to excessive
vibration.
Before Storing:
1) Allow UPS to be operated for 4 hrs to ensure that the batteries
are fully charged.
2) Stop the unit (see "Stopping the UPS" on page 13).
3) Place the unit's Input Breaker switch in the "off" position (see
"Electronics Module Layout", page 9).
Storing:
1) Store within a temperature range of -20° to 40° C (-4° to 104° F).
2) For best results, store the UPS in the original shipping container
and place on a wood or metal pallet.
3) The optimum storage temperature is 21° C (70° F). Higher
ambient temperatures cause UPS batteries to need recharging
more frequently.
Recharging requirements during storage:
Recharging the batteries requires that the battery module be
connected to the UPS and the UPS must have AC input power
available. The UPS can be in either the on line or bypass mode.
(See "Starting the UPS", page 12, and "Battery Recharge Time, page
18)
1) If stored in an ambient temperature less than 20°C (68°F),
recharge the batteries every 9 months.
2) If stored in an ambient temperature of 20° to 30°C (68° to 86°F),
recharge the batteries every 6 months.
3) If stored in an ambient temperature of 30° to 40° C (86° to
104°F), recharge the batteries every 3 months.
