3.0 Installation
3.1 Receiving inspection
Once the UPS has been removed from its shipping container, it should be
inspected for damage that may have occurred while in transit. Immediately
notify the carrier and place of purchase if any damage is found. Two output
jumper cords are provided with the UPS. The packing materials are made from
recyclable materials and should be saved for reuse or disposed of properly.
3.2 Placement
The UPS may be installed in any protected environment. The location should
provide adequate air flow around the unit, in an atmosphere free from excessive
dust, corrosive fumes or conductive contaminants. Do not operate the UPS in an
environment where the ambient temperature or humidity is outside the limits
given in the Specifications section of this manual.
3.3 Load types
The UPS is designed to power all modern computer loads and associated
peripheral devices such as monitors, modems, cartridge tape drives, external
floppy drives, etc. The UPS is not rated to power life support equipment (as
described on the rear cover of this manual).
Caution: The output waveform of this UPS is a sine wave approximation suitable for
use with modern computer power supplies. Other load types may malfunction. In
particular, ferroresonant type regulating transformers are not recommended. Use of a
surge suppressor connected to the output of this UPS may unnecessarily load the UPS
when on-battery. This UPS contains high performance surge suppression - additional
suppression components are not required and are not recommended. If in doubt, please
consult the equipment manufacturer or the factory.
