5.5 Handling

Handle with great care, lift it only to the extent necessary, keep it well balanced and avoid swinging which could be
dangerous.
Do not forget that the equipment must always be handled by trained personnel, equipped with the Individual Protective
Gear as specified in Chapter 4.
If the equipment needs to be lifted, use a forklift truck or transpallet of a suitable capacity, inserting the forks in the base,
making sure they come through on the opposite side by at least twenty centimetres. The means used for lifting must be
driven at slow speed with minimum acceleration while moving the equipment.
ATTENTION
The equipment is to be handled and/or shipped without the power modules and internal battery boxes, if any. If
either the UPS Archimod® or the BATTERY Archimod® needs moving by lorry, or the equivalent, use only the two
side supports removed at point 4) of paragraph 5.3 without putting a wooden pallet in between.

5.6 Storing

5.6.1 UPS

If the UPS is going to be stored prior to installation, regardless of whether or not it is still packed, it must be on dry, clean
and fresh premises where the ambient temperature is between 0°C and +50°C (32-122°F) and with humidity below 90%
(not condensing).

5.6.2 Batteries

The standard batteries of the UPS Archimod® are sealed lead-acid, they are maintenance free and can be installed
internally in the models 20, 40 and 60 kVA.
Lead is a dangerous substance for the environment if it is not recycled by specialized companies.
If the batteries are not charged they cannot be kept for more than 6 months at 20°C (68°F) or more than 3 months at 30°C
(86°F) or more than 2 months at 35°C (95°F).
ATTENTION
sealed batteries must never be stored if they are partly or totally flat.
To charge the batteries before and after storing, simply connect the input power supply to the UPS, plug in fuses of the
battery (F B+ and F B-) and then close battery and mains disconnector switches.
When the unit detects the input voltage it automatically proposes starting a battery charging cycle.
After about 1 minute charging starts automatically and the time left to finish charging is shown on the display. The
charging cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing the "ESC" key.
If the UPS is delivered without batteries, LEGRAND® is not liable for any damage or bad operation caused to it by an
incorrect wiring and/or by using a different type of battery.
