:Align the cables on the battery terminals so that the cable lug will not contact any part of the cabinet even if the battery is moved. Keep the cable away from any sharp metal edges.

:Install the battery cables so they cannot be pinched by the battery cabinet or UPS doors.

:Make sure the fuse is positioned so that it will not contact any cabinet parts or other battery posts if the batteries should move. Make sure that there is enough clearance when the cabinet door closes.

:Battery cabinet chassis (ground or earth) must be connected to the UPS chassis (ground or earth). If you use conduit, this ground conductor must be routed in the same conduit as the battery conductors.

:Where conductors may be exposed to physical damage, protect the conductors in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70-1993.

:If you are replacing batteries or repairing battery connections, follow the procedure in the Powerware FERRUPS FE/QFE UPS (500 VA–18kVA) User’s Guide to shut off your UPS and remove both AC and DC input power.

Before Installing the Batteries

The following items are required for battery installation. Use only tools with insulated handles:
