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 If the UPS requires any type of transportation, verify that the UPS is unplugged and
turned off and then disconnect the UPS internal battery connector (see Figure 20 on page 62).
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.
If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every
6 months by connecting the UPS to utility power. The internal batteries
charge to 90% capacity in less than 3 hours. However, Avaya
recommends that the batteries charge for 48 hours after long-term
storage. If optional EBMs are installed, see the recharge times listed in
Table 19 on page 75.
Check the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label. If the date
has passed and the batteries were never recharged, do not use the UPS.
Contact your Avaya service representative.
