Setup I I J G H G H Figure 4. Installation and Service Clearances Location Requirements Install the FERRUPS as close as possible to the equipment to be protected. If the UPS is more than 25 ft (7.6m) from the equipment, transient noise can reappear in the electrical distribution system. The UPS should be well ventilated and away from direct sunlight or other heat source. The environment can affect the reliability and performance of both the UPS and the batteries.
PAGE 27
Setup Storage and Operating Environment Storage Temperature: Store the batteries (in the UPS or external battery cabinet) at -20° to +40°C (-4° to +104°F). Batteries will have a longer shelf life if they are kept below 25°C (77°F). The UPS or external battery cabinet without batteries may be stored at -20° to +60°C (-4° to +140°F). Ventilation: The air around the UPS must be clean and free of dust, corrosive chemicals, and other contaminants.

Battery Cabinet Installation 4. The battery cabinet ground (or earth) must be connected to the UPS chassis ground (or earth). You must make a good connection to the battery cabinet chassis ground (or earth). If the battery cabinet has a terminal strip, you can make the ground connection at the terminal strip ground (or earth) lug inside the cabinet. If not, you can make the ground connection at one of the screws on the battery cabinet; to ensure a good connection, remove the paint under the cabinet screw.

Battery Cabinet Installation 5. Arrange the batteries in the cabinet or rack. If optional straps are included, install the straps as shown in the battery installation diagram that was packed with your batteries. Arrange the batteries so there is as much air flow as possible around the batteries and so the batteries can be cooled as much as possible. Some battery cabinets have cooling slots cut in the shelves to increase air flow. Arrange the batteries so these slots are not blocked.

Battery Cabinet Installation NOTE If you have an external DC disconnect switch between the UPS and batteries, see the instructions that came with your disconnect switch. 8. Clean the cable and battery post (terminal) before you make the battery connection. Apply a thin coating of high-temperature conductive grease on the post and cable terminals to slow corrosion. If you use a nonconductive grease like petroleum jelly, do not apply any grease before you make the connections.

(BAT-0071) Figure 23. Battery Terminal Types Connect the battery cables between batteries as shown in the battery installation diagram. Do not connect the cables between battery strings or between the UPS and the batteries yet. If you are only using one string of batteries, go to step 11. 9.

Battery Cabinet Installation : If your battery cabinet has a DC switch on the front, the positive and negative cables connect to the terminal strip in the back of the battery cabinet. First, find the positive (+) cable, and strip 0.52 (1.3 cm) of insulation from the end. Insert the cable into the positive (+) battery cabinet terminal. Next, strip 0.52 (1.3 cm) of insulation from the end of the negative (–) cable, and connect that cable to the negative (–) terminal in the battery cabinet.

Battery Cabinet Installation NOTE If you have an external DC disconnect switch, see the instructions that came with your disconnect switch. Now, turn the DC ON/OFF switch on the battery cabinet(s) to the ON position. Leave the UPS DC switch in the OFF position. 12. Use the meter to check for proper nominal DC voltage at the UPS end of the cable. Make sure the polarity agrees with the markings on the UPS battery terminals. Table 29.

Battery Cabinet Installation Replacing the Batteries CAUTION Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the battery installation. Risk of electrical shock. Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries. WARNING : Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short-circuit current.

Battery Cabinet Installation 3. Handle used batteries with care! Assume that old batteries are fully charged. Use the same precautions you would use when handling a new battery. Do not short battery terminals or the battery string with a cable or tool when you disconnect the batteries! See “Recycling the Used Battery” on page 64 for proper disposal. Recycling the Used Battery Contact your local recycling or hazardous waste center for information on proper disposal of the used battery.

CHAPTER 8 PHASE CHECK After all hardwired connections are complete (including external battery cabinets, if applicable), complete the phase check using the following steps. You will need an AC voltmeter for the phase check. CAUTION Before operating the bypass switch, use the following procedure to check the wiring for correct installation. To prevent damage to the load, turn off the main circuit breaker in the load service panel or verify that the load cannot receive power from the UPS. 1.

Phase Check 10–18 kVA: If you have an external battery cabinet(s) with a DC switch, turn the switch to the ON position. 6. Turn the UPS ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The switch is located on the back of the 500 VA–3.1 kVA models and on the front of the 4.3–18 kVA models. The load should still be disconnected at this time. After a short startup test, the READY indicator blinks for a few seconds and then remains illuminated. The UPS is ready to supply output power. 7.

Phase Check 16. Turn off the DC switch, if applicable, according to your UPS model: 500 VA–3.1 kVA: If you have an external battery cabinet(s) with a DC switch, turn the switch to the OFF position. 4.3–7 kVA: If you have an external battery cabinet(s) with a DC switch, turn the switch to the OFF position. If you do not have an external battery cabinet(s): unlock the UPS front cover panel using the FERRUPS key and remove the front cover panel. Locate the DC switch behind the front cover panel.
