2. Startup Place the UPS near the equipment it will protect. Do not put the UPS near a source of heat. Do not block the UPS’ ventilation holes. If your Fortress has sepa- rate battery cabinets, place the cabinet(s) next to the UPS, making sure you do not block ventilation holes on the cabinet(s). - Page 8 Note: The user or installer must be certain that the UPS is connected to an electrical power supply that meets all applicable electrical code requirements, including grounding requirements. If you are not certain that your electrical system meets these requirements, you should consult with a qualified, licensed electrical sys- tems contractor or engineer.

Page 25: Changing The Fortress' Sensitivity To Power Problems
See the cautions about battery disposal above. 7E. Changing the Fortress’ Sensitivity to Power Problems As shipped, your UPS is programmed to provide the best power protection possible. However, if the voltage available to your UPS varies widely, or if it is unstable, you may need to adjust some UPS settings to make the UPS less sensitive to power prob- lems. - Page 26 before providing output for your equipment. At the high end of this range, the UPS reduces the voltage before providing output. These are the input voltage ranges that Fortress models can normally accept without switching to battery power: LI 720U-B71 and LI 1420U-B73 (120-volt units): 91-144 VAC LI 720E-B72 and LI 1420E-B74 (230-volt units): 175-277 VAC By changing a DIP switch position, you can set the UPS to accept even wider ranges: LI 720U-B71 and LI 1420U-B73 (120-volt units): 84-150 VAC...
