4 Site Preparation Checklist
Grounding
 The UPS MUST be correctly grounded for proper operation.
  Older facilities may have inadequate electrical grounding. Inspection must be performed 
by a qualied electrician before installation to ensure that grounding meets the local 
electrical code.
Branch Circuit Breaker Protection
 To provide branch circuit protection, the utility line attached to the UPS’s input 
MUST be protected by a circuit breaker certied for this use as per the local 
electrical code.
  The breaker’s minimum size is calculated by the following formula:
Minimum Breaker Size= UPS’s maximum input current / 0.8
  The UPS’s maximum input current is read off of the UPS’s nameplate. For example, if 
the nameplate gives the maximum input current as 20A, the circuit breaker should be 
rated at least 25A..
Disconnects
 The input and output lines to and from the UPS MUST have disconnect devices 
attached.
Site Requirements 
Install the UPS and batteries on a surface that supports a minimum weight of 45.0 lbs 
(20.4 kg). The input wiring must reach a suitably grounded power outlet and the load wiring 
must reach the UPS’s output terminal block.
5 Mounting the UPS
5.1 Wall Mounting
  The UPS can be mounted to a wall or to wall 
studs. The wall or studs should be able to hold 
a weight of at least 45.0lbs (20.4kg) and they 
must be plumb and the case mounted so it is 
level.
  Using the case as a template, secure the case 
to the wall with the 4 Phillips-head wood screws 
supplied with the unit.
