The battery cabinet ground (or earth) must be connected to the

UPS chassis ground (or earth).

You must make a good connection to the battery cabinet chassis ground (or earth). If the battery cabinet has a terminal strip, you can make the ground connection at the terminal strip ground (or earth) lug inside the cabinet. If not, you can make the ground connection at one of the screws on the battery cabinet; to ensure a good connection, remove the paint under the cabinet screw.

At the UPS, the procedure for connecting ground depends on your model.

FE/QFE 500 VA–3.1 kVA: At the UPS, connect the ground wire to the ground lug (the green screw on the back of the UPS). This UPS ground (or earth) screw is marked with the label shown below.
