WARNING!
UPS units contain hazardous AC and DC voltages. A qualified electrician must install the
UPS, AC line service, and external batteries according to local and national codes and must
be familiar with batteries and battery installation.
Before installing, maintaining, or servicing the UPS, shut off the UPS and disconnect all
sources of AC and DC power.
Whenever AC and/or DC voltage is applied, there may be AC voltage at the UPS output;
this is true because the UPS can supply output power from mains or from its batteries. To
avoid equipment damage or personal injury, always assume that there may be voltage at the
UPS output.
(U.S.A. or Canada; elsewhere, call your local BEST office).

/I™ UPS.
TEST BEFORE TOUCHING!
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install the UPS and external batteries in a
temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of conductive contaminants.
UPS batteries are high current sources. Shorting battery terminals or DC terminal strips can
cause severe arcing, equipment damage and injury. A short circuit can cause a battery to
explode. Always wear protective clothing and eye protection and use insulated tools when
working near batteries.
This unit contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
If you do not follow proper ESD procedures, you may cause severe damage to
electronic components.

104Receiving and Moving the UPS
WARNING!
The UPS and related equipment are very heavy. To prevent personal injury or equipment
damage, use extreme care when handling and transporting the UPS cabinet and related
equipment.
1.While the UPS system is still on the truck, inspect the equipment and shipping container(s)
for any signs of damage. Do not install the system if damage is apparent. If damage has
occurred, notify BEST as soon as possible.
2.Compare the shipment with the bill of lading. Report any missing items to the carrier and to
BEST immediately.
3.Remove the screws on the bottom part of the packaging side plates.
4.Lift the main package up and off the unit and remove the packing materials from the unit.
5. Check that the label inside the UPS front door corresponds to the system ordered, especially
the input/output voltages.
6. Unbolt the unit from the pallet.
7.Remove the unit from the pallet with a fork lift.
8.Use a fork lift or hand truck to transport the unit to the installation site or storage site. Study
the footprint to decide how you will move the UPS through doorways and into position.

106 Finding a Location for the UPS
Keep these guidelines in mind when you choose the location for the UPS system and the
batteries.
Place the UPS in a clean, dust-free environment, free of contaminants. The air must be free
to circulate around the UPS cabinet and any battery cabinets or racks.
Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near other heat sources.
Make sure that the ambient temperature is 32o to 104o F (0o to 40o C).
Ideal temperature is 77o F (25o C).
NOTE:
At 95o F (35o C), battery life will be about one-half of what it would be at a normal
temperature of 77o F (25o C). At 113o F (45o C), battery life will be about onefourth of normal.
Make sure that the floor can support the weight of the UPS, external batteries, and any other
necessary equipment. See Table 4 in Section 102 or Table 8 in Section 103 for weights and
floor loading specifications.
The unit can be placed close to walls as long as there is enough clearance for the front doors
to open. Required service clearance is 3 feet (914 mm) at the front and 3 feet (914 mm) at
the top of the unit. If possible, allow a minimum of 3 feet (914 mm) of clearance around the
entire unit for easier servicing.
All service access is from the front and top of the unit. Cable entry is from the bottom of the
unit.
Do not operate the UPS or batteries in a sealed room or container.

202Installing the External Batteries and DC Disconnect (DCD)
External batteries must be installed and connected to the UPS by a qualified service person who
is familiar with UPS battery installations and applicable building and electrical codes. The
qualified service person should read this entire section before the UPS and batteries arrive.
DANGER!
Full voltage and current are always present at the battery terminals. The batteries used in this
system can produce dangerous voltages, extremely high currents, and a risk of electric shock.
They may cause severe injury if the terminals are shorted together or to ground (earth). You
must be extremely careful to avoid electric shock and burns caused by contacting battery
terminals or shorting terminals during battery installation. Do not touch uninsulated battery
terminals.
A qualified service person who is familiar with battery systems and required precautions
must install and service the batteries. The installation must conform to national and local
codes. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
The qualified service person must take these precautions:
1.Wear protective clothing, such as rubber gloves and boots and protective eye wear.
Batteries contain caustic acids and toxic materials and can rupture or leak if mistreated.
Remove rings and metal wristwatches or other metal objects and jewelry. Do not carry
metal objects in your pockets where the objects can fall into the battery cabinet.
2.Tools must have insulated handles and must be insulated so that they will not short
battery terminals. Do not allow a tool to short between individual or separate battery
terminals or to the cabinet or rack. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the batteries,
and do not lay them where they could fall onto the batteries or into the cabinet.
3.Install the batteries as shown on the drawing provided with the batteries. When
connecting cables, never allow a cable to short across a battery’s terminals, the string of
batteries, or to the cabinet or rack.
4.Align the cables on the battery terminals so that the cable lug will not contact any part of
the cabinet or rack, even if the battery is moved. Keep the cable away from any sharp
metal edges.

DANGER!
6.Do not connect the battery terminal to ground (earth). If any battery terminal is
inadvertently grounded, remove the source of the ground. Contacting any part of a
grounded battery can cause a risk of electric shock.
7.To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install the batteries in a temperature and
humidity controlled indoor area, free of contaminants.
8.Battery system chassis ground (earth) must be connected to the UPS chassis ground
(earth). If you use conduit, this ground conductor must be routed in the same conduit as
the battery conductors.
9.Where conductors may be exposed to physical damage, protect the conductors in
accordance with all applicable codes.
10. If you are replacing batteries or repairing battery connections, shut off the UPS and
remove both AC and DC power.
Follow these guidelines when installing the batteries:
Refer to any instructions provided with the batteries.
Refer to any instructions provided with the DC disconnect (DCD) and pre-charge/discharge
switch.
External batteries require a fused disconnect or a DC circuit breaker. There should be a
disconnecting means for each battery string. The external battery fuse protects the battery
cables. Size the cables based on the overcurrent protection device.
The battery cables must be sized for a total maximum voltage drop of 2.0 VDC at the rated
DC current.
Wherever conductors may be exposed to physical damage, protect the conductors in
accordance with any applicable codes. This includes battery cables between the UPS and the
battery system and cables between battery cabinets or racks.
BEST recommends routing battery cables through flexible conduit. Install flexible conduit
for battery cables according to local or national code.
The battery system ground (earth) must be connected to the UPS chassis ground (earth). This
ground conductor must be routed with the battery cables.

Planning and Installation Manual
Clean the cables and battery terminals before making the battery connections. Apply a thin
coating of conductive grease before making the battery connections, or apply petroleum jelly
to the entire connection after it has been made.
Torque battery connections to the battery manufacturer’s specifications.
Follow the steps below and any instructions provided with the battery system:
1. Connect the cables
between batteries
.
a. In each battery string, connect the cables between batteries as shown in the battery
installation diagram provided with the batteries.
b. Meter the positive (+) and negative (–) terminal on each battery string to verify proper
nominal voltage and polarity.
2. Connect the battery cables
between battery strings
.
a. Connect the negative () cables between battery strings as shown in the battery
installation diagram provided with the batteries.
b. Meter the DC voltage between the positive terminals of the strings. The voltage should
measure less than 5 volts. If it measures greater than 5 volts, correct any wiring errors
before you continue.
c. Connect the positive (+) cables between battery strings as shown in the battery
installation diagram provided with the batteries.
3. Install the DC disconnect (DCD) and pre-charge/discharge switch. Refer to Figure 3, 4 or 5
and to any instructions provided with the DCD and pre-charge/discharge switch.
4. Connect the external batteries to the UPS.
a. Connect the positive (+) cable(s) to the UPS first. Install ring connectors for 10 mm
bolts as required.
b. To prevent short circuits, insulate the UPS end of the negative (–) cable(s).
Do not connect the negative (–) cables to the UPS yet.
c. Connect the positive (+) cable(s) to the battery system and tighten to the proper torque
specifications.
d. Connect the negative () cable(s) to the battery system and tighten to the proper torque
specifications.

5. Check the DC voltage.
a. Connect the DC fuse(s) as shown in the battery installation diagram provided with the
batteries. Verify proper voltage and polarity at the battery pack. See Table 3 in
Section 102 or Table 7 in Section 103 for nominal DC voltage.
b. Turn the DC disconnect (DCD) “ON.”
c. Meter for proper nominal DC voltage at the UPS end of the cables. Make sure the
polarity agrees with the markings on the UPS battery input terminals.
d. After checking the DC voltage, turn the DC disconnect (DCD) “OFF.”
6. Connect the negative (–) cable(s) to the UPS. Tighten to the proper torque specifications.
7. Replace all covers.
8. Continue with Section 300, “Initial Startup and Phase Check.”
Battery Replacement Information
Only a qualified service person familiar with battery systems should replace batteries. See
Section 500, “Shutdown Procedures,” to bypass and shut down the UPS.
Review all of the warnings at the beginning of Section 202 before replacing the batteries.
Use the Same Number and Type of Battery:
To ensure continued superior performance of
your UPS and to maintain proper battery charger operation, you must replace the batteries
with the same number of batteries. The batteries must be the same manufacturer type as the
original batteries and have the same voltage and ampere-hour rating as the original batteries.
Verify that the Battery Terminal is Not Grounded:
If any battery terminal is inadvertently
grounded, you must remove the connection from the terminal to ground (earth) before you
service the batteries. Contacting any part of a grounded battery can cause a risk of electric
shock. An electric shock will be less likely if you disconnect the ground connection before
you service the batteries.
Handle Used Batteries with Care:
Assume that old batteries are fully charged. Use the
same precautions you would use when handling a new battery. Do not short battery terminals
or the battery string with a cable or tool when you disconnect the batteries.
