"Temperature Monitor" installation in a APC by

Installing the "Temperature Monitor" in a battery cubicle

Schneider Electric battery cubicle

The "Temperature Monitor" is fitted on mounting brackets inside the left-hand door of the battery cubicle containing circuit breaker QF1 (see figure 25). The unit is self-adhesive and is secured simply by pressing it against the door:

◗ before mounting the unit, break the

knock-out in its base plate provided for

feeding through the connecting cable;

◗ clean the mounting location on the

door using isopropyl alcohol or heptane

to obtain a clean, dry adhesion surface

(comply with supplier safety

recommendations for handling

solvents);

◗ it is essential, for correct temperature

sensor operation, for the unit to be

positioned as shown in figure 25 ("on"

light in the top left hand corner and

cable fed through from the right-hand

side);

◗ firm pressure is required to ensure

that the unit is bonded over the full

adhesive surface;

◗ the door should be at a temperature

of at least 10°C;

◗ after installation, fold up the

mounting bracket tabs to fully secure

the unit;

◗ tie the connecting cable to the

cubicle upright so that it does not pull

on the unit.

"Temperature Monitor" installation in a battery room

The "Temperature Monitor" should be secured against a wall or any vertical support:

◗choose a location near the batteries and away from draughts which adversely affect the accuracy of temperature measurements;

◗position the unit correctly ("on" light in the top left hand corner and cable fed through from the right-hand side);

◗use the holes provided in the base plate to screw the unit to the vertical support (see figure 26);

◗unless the connecting cable runs on the surface, break the knock-out in the unit base plate provided for cable entry;

◗secure the cable by suitable means so that it does not pull on the unit.
