Safety and General Information
Read the Safety Guide included in the package before installation.
This unit is intended for indoor use only.
Do not operate this unit in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or humidity.
Be sure the air vents on the external battery packs (XLBPs) are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper
ventilation.
The battery typically lasts for two to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient
temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery life.
Always install the XLBPs at the bottom of the rack. The UPS must be installed above the XLBPs.
