4.3Set-Up
Note the following points when setting up the UPS system and its external battery units (special accessories):
♦The contact surface must be smooth and level. It must also be sufficiently strong and sturdy to avoid vibration and shocks.
♦Make sure that the mounting is able to support the weight, especially in conjunction with external battery units (special accessories).
♦Set up the units so that adequate air circulation is assured. There must be at least 200 mm clearance behind the rear fans for ventilation purposes. Do not block the intake openings on the front and, if present, on the side of the unit. There must be a gap of at least 50 mm here.
♦External battery units must be placed on the side of the UPS system. To ensure the greatest possible mechanical stability, do not place the external battery unit(s) above or below the UPS system.
♦Avoid extreme temperatures! We recommend an ambient temperature from 15°C to 25°C in order to maximize the service life of the batteries. Do not expose the units to direct sunlight or operate them close to other heat sources such as radiators.
♦Protect the units against external effects (in particular moisture and dust). In this regard, please also refer to the instructions in chapter 3, page 15 in these operating instructions.
If you transport the unit from a cold room into a warm one, or if the room temperature suddenly drops, then condensation may form inside the unit. To avoid any damage due to condensation, let the unit acclimate for 2 hours before you switch it on.
