UPS and Battery Care

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 battery circuit breaker on the UPS rear panel is in the OFF (O) position (see Figure 9 on page 20).

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.

Storing the UPS and Batteries

If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every

10 months by connecting the UPS to utility power. The batteries charge to 80% capacity in less than 2 hours. However, it is recommended that the batteries charge for 24 hours after long-term storage.

Check the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label. If the date has expired and the batteries were never recharged, do not use the UPS. Contact your service representative.

When to Replace Batteries

When the indicator flashes, the batteries may need replacing.

Contact your service representative to order new batteries.
