3A. Storing the UPS and Recharging the Battery

Always store the equipment in its original packaging.
The battery is of the sealed lead-acid type. Battery recharge requires that the battery module be
plugged into an energized NEMA 5-15 receptacle for 6-8 hours. The battery may be charged in the
box by pulling the AC cord out through the bottom.
Battery storage or prolonged shutdown should never exceed 6 months or 68°F (20°C), for a
battery initially at 100% charge. The battery warranty is void if the 6 month recharge interval
is not adhered to.

3B. Unpacking the UPS

It is recommended that the equipment be unpacked in an area close to its installation location.
Caution:
The UPS and extended batteries weigh up to 75 pounds each.
Two people are required to lift the unit.
Remove the Solution-Pac CD, RS232 cable, and USB cable from the box and set aside for later use .
Fold the box flaps outward. Gently rotate the box on its side and slide the unit out of the box. Gently
rotate the unit upright and then remove the packing material. Save packaging for future shipment
of UPS to MGE for recycling.

3C. Placement of the UPS

Choose a location out of direct sunlight with adequate ventilation. The operating ambient temperature
range is 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). Temperatures above 77°F (25°C) should be avoided as battery
life is reduced.
Ensure that there is clearance around the intake vents in the front of the UPS and that the rear is unob-
structed. Six inches of clearance at the rear of the unit is required. Units may be placed vertically or hor-
izontally with zero clearance. Use the supplied stabilizing feet when vertically mounting the UPS and/or
extended battery.
