Installation Precautions
1. Install the unit in a well-ventilated location; allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) on all
sides for air ventilation and for maintenance.
2. Install the unit in a stable, level and upright position that is free of excessive
vibration.
3. Install the unit where the ambient temperature is within the range specified.
4. Do not install the UPS in areas that are subject to high humidity.
5. Do not install the UPS in areas that allow exposure to direct sunlight.
6. Do not install the UPS in areas that allow exposure to high levels of airborne
dust, metal particles, or flammable gases.
7. Do not install the UPS in areas near sources of electrical noise. Ensuring a
proper earth ground will reduce the effects of electrical noise and will reduce the
potential for electrical shock.
8. Do not install the UPS in areas that would allow fluids or any foreign object to
get inside the UPS.
9. The UPS generates and can radiate radio-frequency energy during operation.
Although RFI noise filters are installed inside of the unit, there is no guarantee
that the UPS will not influence some sensitive devices that are operating near by.
If such interference is experienced, the UPS should be installed farther away
from the affected equipment and/or powered from a different source than that of
the affected equipment.
10. The user should provide output over-current protection for hardwired UPS
systems.
11. After ensuring that all power sources are turned off and isolated in accordance
with established lockout/tagout procedures, connect the power source wiring of
the correct voltage to the input terminals of the UPS.
