READ THIS SECTION THOROUGHLY.

5.0 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

5.1 General

If you have any questions concerning the installation considerations, contact your EnerSys

sales/service r

epr

esentative for clarification or call the corporate office number listed on the

back of this manual and ask for EnerSys Reserve Power Service.

When planning the system space requirements, consider the following:

• space • ventilation

• environment • batter

y system configuration

• temperature • floor loading

• distance from operating equipment • floor anchoring

Table 5.1 will assist you to ensure that all requirements for installation location are considered.

Space Aisle space should be in accor

dance with the National Electric Code

(NEC) Article 110-16 or local codes.

Clearance from wall/equipment - 4” (10 cm) minimum

Environment Clean, cool and dry. The location should be selected to keep water,

oil, and dirt away from all cells.

Temperature Ambient temperature between 72˚-78˚F (23˚-26˚C)

Elevated temperatures reduce operating life. Lower temperatures

reduce battery performance.

Minimize temperature variations between the cells. (To avoid

temperature variation between the cells, do NOT locate the battery

near HVAC ducts or exhausts, heats sources (i.e., equipment that

generates heat) or direct sunlight.
