1.2 Preliminary Checks
Before installing the UPS, please carry out the following preliminary checks:
• Visually examine the UPS equipment for transit damage, both internally and externally. Report
any damage to the shipper immediately.
• Verify that the correct equipment is being installed. The equipment supplied has an identification
tag on the back of the main door reporting: the type, size and main calibration parameters of the
UPS.
• Verify that the UPS room satisfies the environmental conditions stipulated in the equipment
specification, paying particular attention to the ambient temperature and air exchange system.
1.3 Environmental Considerations
1.3.1 UPS Room
The UPS module intended for indoor installation and should be located in a cool, dry, clean-air environment with adequate ventilation to keep the ambient temperature within the specified operating
range (see Environmental Parameters in Table 6).
The Liebert NXL UPS is cooled with the aid of internal fans. To permit air to enter and exit and prevent overheating or malfunctioning, do not cover the ventilation openings.
The Liebert NXL UPS is equipped with air filters located behind the front doors. A schedule for
inspection of the air filters is required. The period between inspections will depend upon environmental conditions.
When bottom entry is used, the conduit plate must be installed.
NOTE
The UPS is suitable for mounting on concrete or other non-combustible surface only.
3
1.3.2 Storage
Should the equipment not be installed immediately, it must be stored in a room for protection against
excessive humidity and or heat sources (see Environmental Parameters in Table 6).
1.4 Positioning
The cabinet is structurally designed to handle lifting from the base.
Access to the power terminals, auxiliary terminals blocks and power switches is from the front.
The door can be opened to give access to the power connections bars, auxiliary terminal blocks and
power isolators. Front door can be opened at 180° for more flexibility in installations.
1.4.1 Moving the Cabinets
The route to be travelled between the point of arrival and the unit’s position must be planned to make
sure that all passages are wide enough for the unit and that floors are capable of supporting its
weight (for instance, check that doorways, lifts, ramps, etc. are adequate and that there are no
impassable corners or changes in the level of corridors).
Ensure that the UPS weight is within the designated surface weight loading (kg/cm
equipment. For weight details, see Table 6.
The UPS can be handled with a forklift or similar equipment. Ensure any lifting equipment used in
moving the UPS cabinet has sufficient lifting capacity. When moving the unit by forklift, care must be
taken to protect the panels. Do not exceed a 15-degree tilt with the forklift. Bottom structure will support the unit only if the forks are completely beneath the unit.
