6 UPS maintenance
6.1 Equipment care
• For the best prevenve maintenance, keep the area around the equipment clean and
dust free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system with a vacuum
cleaner.
• For full baery life, keep the equipment at an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F).
If the UPS requires any type of transportaon, verify that the UPS is disconnected
and turned o.
The baeries are rated for 3-5 years service life. The length of service life varies, depend-
ing on the frequency of usage and ambient temperature (life divided- by 2 each 10°C
above25°C).
Baeries used beyond expected service life will oen have severely reduced runmes. Re-
place baeries at least every 4 years to keep units running at peak performance.
Baeries runme will be reduced at low temperature (below 10°C).

If you store the equipment for a long period, recharge the baery every 6 months by con-
necng the UPS to ulity power. The internal baeries charge to 90% capacity in less than 3
hours. However, Eaton recommends that the baeries charge for 48 hours aer long-term
storage.
Check the baery recharge date on the shipping carton label.
If the date has passed and the baeries were never
recharged, do not use them. Con-
tact your service representave.
