Chapter 2 UPS Installation Plan and Unpacking

Use the following basic sequence of steps to install the UPS:

1.Create an installation plan for the UPS system (Chapter 2).

2.Prepare your site for the UPS system (Chapter 2).

3.Inspect, unpack, and unload the UPS cabinets (Chapters 2 and 3).

4.Wire the system (Chapter 3).

5.Install features, accessories, and/or options, as applicable (Chapters 4 through 6).

6.Complete the installation checklist (Chapter 3).

7.Have authorized service personnel perform preliminary operational checks and startup.

NOTE Startup and operational checks must be performed by an authorized Eaton Customer Service Engineer, or the warranty terms specified on page 15-1become void. This service is offered as part of the sales contract for the UPS. Contact your Eaton service representative in advance (usually a two-week notice is required) to reserve a preferred startup date.

2.1Creating an Installation Plan

Before installing the UPS system, read and understand how this manual applies to the system being installed. Use the procedures and illustrations in the following chapters to create a logical plan for installing the system.

2.1.1Preparing Your Site

For the UPS system to operate at peak efficiency, the installation site should meet the environmental parameters outlined in this manual. If the UPS is to be operated at an altitude higher than 1500m (5000 ft), contact your Eaton service representative for important information about high altitude operation. The operating environment must meet the weight, clearance, and environmental requirements specified in paragraph A.1 starting on page A-1.

The UPS cabinets use forced air cooling to regulate internal component temperature. Air inlets are in the front of the cabinet and outlets are in the top. You must allow clearance in front of and above each cabinet for proper air circulation (see Table B on page A-1).

2.1.2Environment Considerations

The life of the UPS system is adversely affected if the installation does not meet the following guidelines:

1.The system must be installed on a level, sealed concrete pad or floor.

2.The system must be installed in a temperature‐controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants.

Failure to follow guidelines may void your warranty.
