8.1General
When used properly, the UPS is virtually maintenance free other than keeping the air inlets/outlets free from dust.
8.2Cooling fan
The expected operational life of the cooling fans is approximately 20,000 to 40,000 hours of continuous operation. A high ambient temperature will shorten this operational life.
8.3Batteries
The service life of the battery is from 3 to 6 years, depending on the operating temperature and on the number of discharge cycles.
