STORAGE

3.3.1 Storage of the UPS

The UPS is carefully packed for transport and storage so that it is in perfect condition when
installed.
Never leave a UPS outside the building and don't store other packages on the top of the
UPS.
It is advisable to store the UPS in its original package in a dry, dust-free room, away from
chemical substances, and with a temperature range not exceeding -13°F (-25°C) to 131°F
(55°C).
Some important functions of the UPS, such as the customized functions, are defined by
parameters stored in a RAM memory.
A small backup battery located on the Control Unit board supplies the RAM.
If the storage time of the UPS exceeds 1 year, these functions should be verified by an
authorized Service Center before putting the UPS into operation.

3.3.2 Storage of battery

When the delivery includes a maintenance free battery, keep in mind that they are subject to
self-discharge and therefore you must recharge the battery.
The storage time without battery recharge depends on the temperature of the storage site.
The optimal temperature for battery storage is 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C).
Recharge stored maintenance free battery every:
6 months when the storage temperature is 68°F (20°C)
3 months when the storage temperature is 86°F (30°C)
2 months when the storage temperature is 95°F (35°C)
