9 Storage/Operating Environment
Observe the following when storing the UPS.
•Store UPS indoors.
•Maximum storage time for the UPS between powered operation cycles is three years. If the UPS has been stored for a period exceeding 36 months, contact your factory authorized represnetative of guidance in starting the unit.
•Temperature fluctuations should be minimized.
•The optimal storage temperature range is 68 – 77 °F (20 – 25° C).
•A maximum temperature range of 32 – 104 °F (0 – 40 °C) should be observed.
•The optimal relative humidity at the storage location should be between 50 – 60%.
•Humidity must not exceed 90%.
•Avoid locations where UPS may be exposed to corrosive gas.
•Avoid locations with dirt and/or dust.
