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 hours to ensure that the batteries are fully charged.

2)Stop the unit (see “Stopping the UPS” on page 21).

3)Place the unit’s Input Breaker switch in the “off” position (see “Layout”, page 15).

Storing:

1)Store within a temperature range of -4° to 104°F (-20° to 40° C).

If the UPS is stored at a temperature outside of the allowable operating range, allow time for the unit to reach equilibrium with the ambient temperature before starting the UPS.

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 70°F (21° C). Higher ambient temperatures cause UPS batteries to need recharging more frequently.
