1.5.4 Battery Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: The batteries installed in the UPS and within the extended battery cabinets contain electro-

lyte. Under normal conditions the containers are dry. A damaged battery may leak electrolyte that can
be dangerous when in contact with the skin and cause irritation to the eyes. Should this happen, wash
the affected part with copious amounts of water and seek immediate medical attention.

· Even when discharged, a battery has the capacity to supply a high short circuit current, which in

addition to causing damage to the battery itself and to associated cables, may expose the operator to
the risk of burns.

2.3 Storage

If the UPS is to be stored prior to use, it should be stored in a clean, dry environment and away from temperature
extremes. It is recommended that the equipment be stored in a temperature controlled, moderate humidity environ­ment. The table below provides the temperature and humidity storage limits:

Storage Data

Temperature Limits 32°F to 104°F (0°C to +40°C)

Relative Humidity (Non-Condensing) 0% to 90%

NOTE: When storing equipment, every 8°C above 25°C reduces the shelf life of the battery by 50%. More

frequent battery charging is required to maintain the batteries in storage at these greater temperatures.

5

2.4 Recharging the UPS During Storage

Before storing, charge the UPS for five hours. During storage, recharge the battery in accordance with the follow­ing table:

Storage Temperature Recharge Frequency Charging Duration

-13°F to 104°F (-25°C to +40°C) Every 3 Months 1-2 Hours

104°F to 113°F (40°C to +45°C) Every 2 Months 1-2 Hours

2.5 Environmental Conditions

The UPS must be installed on a level and even surface. Install in an area protected from extremes of temperature,
water, humidity and the presence of conductive powder or dust. Do not stack units and do not place any objects on
top of a unit.

The functional temperature range of the UPS is 32°F to 104°F (0°C to +40°C).

The ideal ambient temperature range is 60°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C).

Expected battery runtimes and battery life is based on operational temperatures between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and
25°C). Operation of the equipment above 77°F (25°C) reduces the service life of the batteries dramatically.
