Liebert Series 600T installation manual Equipment Location, Battery Safety Precautions

5. EQUIPMENT LOCATION

1.Handle cabinet(s) in accordance with WARN- INGS in Section 3. Use a suitable material handling device to move each cabinet to its final location. Exercise extreme care because of the uneven weight distribu- tion. Carefully lower the cabinets to the floor and position them for reconnection, if applica- ble.

2.Verify that the UPS system is installed in a clean, cool and dry location. Observe the location of overhead water lines for fire sprinkler systems. Avoid placing the UPS and related equipment directly under water lines or within range of a sprinkler head.

3.Installation and serviceability will be easier if adequate access is provided on all sides of the equipment, but only front access is required.

a.Verify that there is adequate clearance to open cabinet doors (4 feet is recommended). See drawings and local codes.

b.Verify that there is adequate area in front of circuit breakers to perform maintenance. Check installation drawings for location of breakers. Check with local codes.

c.Verify that there is adequate clearance above all cabinets to allow exhaust air to flow without restriction (2 feet minimum, unobstructed).

4.Connect the cabinets, internal cables and bus bars, if applicable.

6. BATTERY INSTALLATION

6.1. Battery Safety Precautions

Battery installation and servicing should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

Be sure to observe the grounding recommendations in Section 7 when installing batteries. When replacing batteries, use the same number and type of batteries.

CAUTION

Lead-acid batteries contain hazardous materials. Batteries must be handled, transported, and recycled or discarded in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Because lead is a toxic substance, lead-acid batteries should be recycled rather than discarded.

Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode.

A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:

1.Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.

2.Use tools with insulated handles.

3.Wear rubber gloves and boots.

4.Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

5.Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.

6.Determine if the battery is inadver- tently grounded. If it is inadvertently grounded, remove source of ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

Lead-acid batteries can present a risk of fire because they generate hydrogen gas. The following procedures should be followed:

1.DO NOT SMOKE when near batteries.

2.DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area.

3.Discharge static electricity from body before touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface.
