3. Battery Cabinet Installation
3.6 Battery Cabinet Placement
Place the battery cabinet in a cool location with free airflow and away from direct heat
sources. The lifespan and performance of a battery may be dramatically affected by
elevated temperature, decreasing 50% for each 15° F (8.25° C) above 77° F (25° C).
1. Prepare the surface where the cabinet will be placed. The surface must be clean, flat
and able to support the battery cabinet and other equipment installed nearby. See
Section 7.4 for floor loading specifications.
2. Allow adequate clearance around the front and rear of the battery cabinet for
ventilation and maintenance. The front door must be accessible to allow easy access
to internal batteries, internal fuses and other overcurrent protection devices. See
Section 6.1 for dimensions and battery cabinet measurements.
3. If the cabinet will be anchored to the floor, install appropriate anchor bolts in the
mounting hole located at the bottom of the cabinet. Use washers to create a level
surface between the mounting areas around the anchor bolts.
4. Using extreme caution, remove the bolts securing the battery cabinet to the shipping
pallet.
5. Forklift forks should be at maximum width within the cabinet clearance opening
and fully inserted to prevent tipping. Lift cabinet from bottom only. Be careful not to
damage the sheet metal floor of the cabinet with the forks.
6. If the battery cabinet will be secured to the floor, carefully align and lower the battery
cabinet down on the floor anchor bolts and secure it in place.
7. If the cabinet will not be secured to the floor, lower it into the designated space and
then level it using shims. Leveling does not affect performance, but does align the
battery cabinet with other equipment in the facility.
3.7 Electrical Connection
DANGER! LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD!
All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician in
accordance with the warnings in this manual and all applicable
electrical and safety codes. Incorrect wiring may cause serious
personal injury and property damage.
• The battery cabinet is connected to the load through a DC circuit breaker. This allows
the battery to disconnect from the load and charger for maintenance and/or repair.
• The DC molded case circuit breakers are CE-approved for branch circuit protection. If
replacement is required, CE-approved components with the same voltage and current
rating must be used.
• The size of the load connection cables must consider maximum allowable voltage drop
as well as the cables’ continuous ampere capacity and anticipated ampere discharge
rate of the individual battery cabinet. A maximum voltage drop of 1.5V DC in the
load connection cables is recommended. Refer to the UPS unit’s Owner’s Manual for
recommended wire sizes.
• Refer to all applicable local, state and national codes for appropriate cable size and
ratings.
