1.1Unpacking and Installation
NOTE
Read the entire manual before installing and operating the system. Upon receipt of a Liebert FPC™, the installer should perform the following steps to ensure a quality installation.
1.1.1Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection
A quality installation begins on the receiving dock.
1.Inspect the shipping crate(s) for damage or signs of mishandling before unpacking the unit(s). Check the
2.Remove the packing and inspect the equipment for any obvious shipping damages.
3.If the FPC was shipped in an export crate, open the shipping crate carefully.
Use care to avoid puncturing the container with sharp objects that would damage the contents.
4.Remove the packing and vapor barriers and inspect the equipment for any obvious shipping damages.
NOTE
The units should not be loosened from the shipping pallet until all handling by fork lift or pallet jack is completed. Complete internal inspection should be accomplished only after equipment positioning and prior to electrical hookup.
5.If any damage is observed, immediately file a damage claim with the shipping agency and forward a copy to:
Liebert Corporation
1050 Dearborn Drive P.O. Box 29186 Columbus, Ohio 43229 USA
1.1.2Handling Considerations
The Liebert FPC™ (and cables, if furnished) is bolted to a wooden pallet to allow handling by forklift equipment.
The Liebert FPC and cable reels are furnished with casters to allow the unit to be rolled into place after it has been unbolted from the pallet. The FPC should be kept on the shipping pallet until it has been moved by forklift as close as practical to its installation location.
Refer to the cabinet drawings furnished with the FPC for the unit’s size and weight. Typical cabinet dimensions and weights are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The route to the FPC’s installation area should be planned to ensure that all passages, including door- ways, elevators, ramps and hallways, are large enough to accommodate the unit and that the floors are strong enough to support the weight. Determine whether any corners or offsets would cause prob- lems in maneuvering the unit.
Liebert recommends removing the exterior side panels, if supplied, before the unit is moved. This will prevent scratches, dents and other damage to the panels.
