Storage of UPS Equipment.
General Guidelines
If the UPS equipment is to be stored; the following guidelines should be used.
Avoid:
1)Storage in sites subject to extreme changes in temperature or high humidity.
2)Storage in sites subject to exposure of high levels of dust or metal particles
3)Storage on inclined floor surfaces or in sites subject to excessive vibration.
Before Storing:
1)Allow UPS to be operated for 4 hrs to ensure that the batteries are fully charged.
2)Stop the unit (see "Stopping the UPS" on page 12).
3)Place the unit's Input Breaker switch in the "off" position (see “Electronics Module Layout”, page 9).
Storing:
1)Store within a temperature range of
2)For best results, store the UPS in the original shipping container and place on a wood or metal pallet.
3)The optimum storage temperature is 21° C (70° F). Higher ambient temperatures cause UPS batteries to need recharging more frequently.
Recharging requirements during storage:
Recharging the batteries requires that the battery module be connected to the UPS and the UPS must have AC input power available. The UPS can be in either the on line or bypass mode. (See “Starting the UPS”, page 11, and “Battery Recharge Time”, page 15).
1)If stored in an ambient temperature less than 20°C (68°F), recharge the batteries every 9 months.
2)If stored in an ambient temperature of 20° to 30°C (68° to 86°F), recharge the batteries every 6 months.
3)If stored in an ambient temperature of 30° to 40° C (86° to 104°F), recharge the batteries every 3 months.
