American Power Conversion PM4Y, PM3 user manual Location Considerations

Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection

•Inspect the entire shipping container for damage or signs of mishandling before unpacking the unit.

•Remove the cardboard packing and further inspect the unit for any obvious shipping damages.

•If damage found is a result of shipping or handling, immediately file a claim with the shipping company and forward a copy to APC.

Storage

The unit should be stored in a clean, dry environment. Storage temperature is -40oC (-40oF) to +60o C (+140o F). Avoid exposing the unit to areas of high condensation. All of the packaging materials should be left intact until the unit is ready for installation. If the unit has been stored for an extended period of time, it may be necessary to clean the unit and make a complete inspection of the unit prior to installing and placing into service.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

The following paragraphs provide information and guidance about what should be taken into consideration before installing an APC SPD.

Environment

The unit is designed to operate indoors in an ambient temperature* range of -40oC (-40oF) to +60o C (+140o F) with a relative humidity of 0% to 95% non-condensing. The standard unit is in a NEMA Type 1 industrial use enclosure which is intended for indoor use. Primarily, it provides a degree of protection against contact with the enclosed equipment. It should not be installed in areas with excessive dust, flammable materials, corrosive vapors or explosive atmospheres.

*Surge Counter option/feature has an operating temperature range of -0oC (32o F) to +60o C (+140o F)

Audible Noise

The unit background noise is negligible, and does not restrict the location of the installation.
