3. Installation and Wiring

3.7 Installation Notes

• Place the battery cabinet in a clean, stable environment. Avoid vibration, dust, humidity, flammable gases, liquids and
corrosives. Additional air filters may be required if the UPS will operate in a dusty environment. For more information on air
filters for the UPS, contact tripplite.com/support.
• The environmental temperature around the UPS should be maintained in the range of 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C). If the
temperature exceeds this range, the rated load capacity should be reduced by 12% for 9°F (5°C). To help prevent high
temperatures in the room where the UPS is installed, extractor fans and/or cooling systems are recommended. Do not
operate the UPS in an environment over 122°F (50°C).
• If the UPS is installed or dismantled in low temperatures, moisture condensation might occur. Do not install the UPS unless
all internal and external parts are fully dry. Otherwise, there is a danger of electric shock.
• Batteries should be mounted in an environment where the temperature is within the required specifications. Temperature is
a key factor in determining battery life and capacity. Battery temperature should be maintained between 59°F to 77°F (20°C
to 25°C). Keep batteries away from heat sources, main air ventilation areas, etc.
CAUTION!
Typical battery performance data reflects an operating temperature between 59°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).
Operating the UPS above this range will reduce the battery life, while operating the UPS below this range
will reduce battery capacity.
• If the UPS will not be installed immediately, it must be stored in a room without excessive heat or humidity.
CAUTION!
An unused battery must be recharged every 6 months. Temporarily connect the UPS to a suitable AC supply
mains and activate it for the time required to fully charge the batteries.
• The highest altitude that UPS may work normally with full load is 1000 meters. The load capacity should be reduced when
this UPS is installed in place whose altitude is higher than 1000 meters, shown as the following table:
(Load coefficient equals max load in high altitude place divided by nominal power of the UPS)

• The UPS should be kept in an area with good ventilation. Ventilation holes on the front and rear of the UPS should not be
blocked.

3.8 External Protective Devices

For safety reasons, it is necessary to install an external circuit breaker at the input AC utility and to the battery.

3.8.1 External Battery

The UPS and its connected batteries are protected against the effects of over-current through a DC compatible thermo-
magnetic circuit breaker located close to the battery.

3.8.2 UPS Output

Any external distribution board used for load distribution shall be fitted with protective devices so as to avoid the risk of UPS
overload.
