Chapter 2 Installation Plan and Preparation
Use the following basic sequence of steps to install the Eaton BladeUPS Maintenance Bypass Cabinet (MBC).
1. Create an installation plan for the MBC (Chapter 2).
2. Prepare your site for the MBC (Chapter 2).
3. Inspect, unpack, and unload the MBC (Chapter 2 and 3).
4. Wire the system (Chapter 3).
5. Complete the installation checklist (Appendix).
6. Have authorized service personnel perform preliminary operational checks and startup.
2.1 Creating an Installation Plan
Before installing the MBC, read and understand how this manual applies to the system being installed. Use
the procedures and illustrations in the following chapters to create a logical plan for installing the system.
2.2 Preparing the Site
For the MBC to operate at peak efficiency, the installation site should meet the environmental parameters
outlined in this manual. If the
MBC is to be operated at an altitude higher than 1500m (5000 ft), contact your
Eaton service representative for important information about high altitude operation.
The operating environment must meet the weight, clearance, and environmental requirements specified in
and size requirements specified in Appendix
A.3 “Specifications Diagram”.
!
IMPORTANT
The MBC uses natural convection cooling to regulate internal component temperature. Air inlets
are at the bottom of the cabinet and outlets are at the top, both front and back. You must allow
clearance in front of and behind each
MBC, and the bottom of the cabinet must be free of any
obstructions for proper air circulation.
2.2.1 Environmental Considerations
The life of the MBC is adversely affected if the installation does not meet the following guidelines:
1. The system must be installed on a level floor suitable for computer or electronic equipment.
2. The system must be installed in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants.
Failure to follow guidelines may void your warranty.
2.3 Preparing for Wiring the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet
!
IMPORTANT
One feed breaker is required for the system.
The input power wiring connections for this equipment are rated at 90C. If the ambient temperature is
greater than 40C, higher temperature wire and/or larger size wire may be necessary.
The MBC control wiring requirements are specified in the Appendix A.2 “Installation and Wiring Diagram” and
should be connected at the
MBC interface terminal block located inside the MBC.
