1.4Receiving for Single Modules and Shared Systems

Before accepting the shipment from the freight carrier, inspect the exterior surfaces of all shipping containers or packaging used, and the equipment, for damage that may have occurred during transit. If the shipping containers or equipment show evidence of damage, note the damage on the receiving document (bill of lading) prior to signing for receipt of equipment.

The equipment should be unpacked immediately after receipt, and inspected again to determine if any internal shipping damage (broken components, disconnected wiring, loose connections, etc.) has occurred. Verify that the equipment nameplate(s) correspond with the equipment ordered.

Damage claims should be filed directly with the carrier. Replacements for damaged components should be ordered through MGE Customer Support Services at 1-800-523-0142.

1.4.1Handling

Carefully follow the handling instructions attached to the shipping materials.

1.4.2Storage

If the equipment is to be stored prior to installation, it should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location that is protected against rain, splashing water, chemical agents, etc. The equipment should be covered with a tarpaulin or plastic wrapper to protect it against dust, dirt, paint, or other foreign materials.

IMPORTANT:

Batteries should be stored no longer than three (3) months

 

at 25° C (77° F) or lower prior to recharging. Exceeding the

 

recommended ambient storage temperature will induce bat-

 

tery back-up time and may adversely affect battery life.

 

 

 

 

1.4.3Prerequisites to Installation

An efficient EPS 7000 installation depends on careful planning and site preparation. Installation of UPS equipment must be handled by skilled technicians and electricians familiar with the special requirements of high-energy electrical equipment. The installation must comply with the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70, latest issue) and with local codes and requirements as applicable.

Before installation, the following environmental, mechanical, and electrical prerequisites must be fulfilled. Carefully review the installation drawings supplied with the system and follow their instructions.

1.4.4Environmental Considerations

The EPS 7000 is intended for use in an environment where control of temperature and humidity is provided.

The EPS 7000 generates heat and exhaust air through the top portion of its enclosures. Heat loss and air flow data is provided in the installation drawings.
