G8000 Series Installation and Operation Manual
TABLE 5.1 - UPS INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT STANDARDS

Item Environment standard

Installation Location Indoors
Ambient
Temperature
Minimum operating temperature: 32 °F (0 °C).
Maximum operating temperature: 86 °F (30 °C) at 1.0 PF (UPS with/without
battery system).
Maximum operating temperature: 90 °F (32 °C) at 0.8 PF (UPS with battery
system).
Maximum operating temperature: 104 °F (40 °C) at 0.8 PF (UPS only).
Average 24-hour operating temperature: 86 °F (30 °C) at 1.0 PF and 41 – 95 °F
(5 – 35 °C) at 0.8 PF.
Relative Humidity The relative humidity must be between 30 and 90% noncondensing due to
temperature changes.
Altitude
These specications are for altitudes up to 3240 ft. (1000 m) above sea level.
Consult with the factory to determine the derating factor for installations above
3240 ft. (1000 m).
Vibration and
Mechanical Shock
Installation environment must not have vibration frequencies 10 Hz – 20 Hz.
The acceleration due to vibrations less than 10 Hz must not exceed 0.5 G.
The acceleration due to vibrations 20 Hz – 50 Hz must not exceed 0.5 G.
The total amplitude due to vibrations 50 Hz – 100 Hz must not exceed 0.1 mm.
Dust Dust must not exceed normal atmospheric levels and must not include conductive
particles, silicone or oils.
Flammable Gas
No ammable and/or explosive gas.
Hydrogen sulde (H2S) Less than or equal to 0.0001 PPM
Sulfurous acid gas (SO2) Less than or equal to 0.05 PPM
Chlorine gas (Cl2) Less than or equal to 0.002 PPM
Ammonia gas (NH3) Less than or equal to 0.1 PPM
Nitrous acid gas (NO2) Less than or equal to 0.02 PPM
Nitrous oxides (NOx) Less than or equal to 0.02 PPM
Ozone (O3) Less than or equal to 0.002 PPM
Hydrochloric acid mist (HCl) Less than or equal to 0.1 mg/m3
Installation Precautions
1) Install the unit in a stable, level and upright position that is free of excessive
vibration.
2) Install the unit where the ambient temperature is within the specied range.
3) DO NOT install the UPS in areas that are subject to high humidity.
4) DO NOT install the UPS in areas that allow exposure to direct sunlight.
5) DO NOT install the UPS in areas that allow exposure to high levels of airborne dust,
metal particles, or ammable gases.
6) 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.
