INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
The UPS and the Battery Box must be installed in ventilated, clean environments which are sheltered from bad weather.
The relative humidity in the environment must not exceed the maximum values shown in the Technical Data table.
The ambient temperature, whilst the UPS is in operation must remain between 0 and 40°C, and the UPS must not be
positioned in places which are exposed to direct sunlight or to hot air.
The recommended operating temperature for the UPS and the batteries is between 20 and 25°C. The actual
operating life of the batteries is 5 years on average with an operating temperature of 20°C. If the operating
temperature reaches 30°C, the operating life is halved.
BATTERY BOX INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
CHECK THAT THE BATTERY BOX VOLTAGE IS THE SAME AS THE VOLTAGE PERMITTED BY THE
UPS.
CHECK THE RATING ON THE BACK OF THE DEVICE.
It is possible to connect more than one Battery Box in order to achieve any level of autonomy without mains power.
Connect any Battery Boxes in a cascade as shown in the figure below:
SETTING THE NOMINAL BATTERY CAPACITY
Before installing one or more Battery Boxes the UPS must be configured in order to update the nominal capacity value
(total Ah UPS's internal batteries + external batteries) using the dedicated configuration software UPSTools contains in
the CD-ROM supplied with the UPS.
The battery box must be installed while the UPS is switched off and disconnected from the main.
CAUTION:
The connection cables cannot be extended by the user.
After connecting the UPS to its Battery Boxes, insert the fuses and turn the Battery Box battery isolators
(SWBATT) to the ON position.
It is not possible to connect more than one UPS to a single battery box, or to several Battery Boxes
connected in a series.
