Battery systems must be kept in the range of
The UPS will reliably meet all performance specifications at temperatures up to 104°F (40°C), and can be slightly aerated for operation at even higher temperatures. However, performance and longevity will be opti- mized when the UPS is operated at the same temperature as the batteries.
•Keep connections tight.
Tighten all connections at installation and at least annually thereafter. (See torque requirements, Table 4.)
4.3.1Record Log
Set up a maintenance log to record scheduled checks and any abnormal conditions.
The log should have space for all metered parameter indications including phase readings, alarm messages, UPS mode of operation, air filter replacement date, and observation notes. A second log should be maintained for the battery module as directed by the battery manufacturer.

4.3.2Air Filters
A schedule for inspection of the air filters is required. The period between inspections will depend upon environ- mental conditions. Under normal conditions, the air filters will require service or replacement approximately every two months.
All
Series 600T models rated 300 kVA and higher also have recyclable filters built into the front of their base assem- blies. These metal filter elements can be removed, washed in water, dried and returned to service.
CAUTION
Be certain recyclable filter elements are dry before reinstalling them in the UPS.
Abnormal or dusty conditions will require more frequent cleaning and replacement of air filters. Inspect installa- tions in new buildings more often, then extend the inspection period as experience dictates.
