5.4.2 Battery location
Batteries require a well-ventilated room with controlled temperature to obtain reliable operation.
The Battery can be installed immediately adjacent to the UPS (left or right side) or remotely from the
UPS.
If the Battery is installed remotely from the UPS, a wall mounted DC disconnect device must be installed
within line-of-site to both the UPS and the Battery.
The optimal room temperature for the Battery is 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F) and shall never exceed the
range -20°C (-4°F) to 40°C (104°F).
The life of valve-regulated batteries will be reduced by 50% for each additional 10°C (18°F) that the
Battery ambient temperature is above 25°C (77°F).
The Battery System associated with larger UPS is usually either rack mounted or installed in multiple
Battery Cabinets.
Installation and assembly must be made according to the local standards and Battery System
manufacturer‘s recommendations.
The Battery Circuit Breaker or Battery Fuse Box must be mounted as near as possible to the Battery.
WARNING !
Battery installation and connection must be performed by QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
only.
Read all safety instructions before proceeding with the installation (see Section 1).
Battery discharging and/or charging activities may cause the emission of
hydrogen gas; therefore, the room requires proper ventilation and fresh air.
Comply with the EN50272-2 standard.
