7. Appendices

The maximum allowable power for 4 parallel UPS units is limited to 4 x Pn.

Restrictions to parallel operation

(*) : except in ECO mode or bypass mode.

Thermal characteristics

◗ The operating temperature range is 0°C to +40°C (0°C to 30°C for overload conditions), however optimum operation is within

the +20°C to +25°C range.

◗ Battery backup time is adversely affected by high and low temperatures. It is significantly reduced at temperatures under

10°C.

Above 25°C, battery service life is cut in half every 10°C. Above 40°C, battery manufacturers no longer guarantee operation

due to the risk of thermal runaway.
