UPS and Battery Care
For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS
clean and dust-free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of
the system with a vacuum cleaner.
For full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of
77°F (25°C).
Storing the UPS and Batteries
When storing the UPS and optional cabinets, the following requirements
should be met:
쑺 Verify that the battery circuit breaker is in the OFF position.
쑺 Avoid t emperature and humidity extremes. To maximize battery life,
the recommended storage temperature is 59°F (15°C) to 77°F (25°C).
쑺 If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the batteries every
10 months by applying utility power. The batteries charge to 80%
capacity in approximately 3 hours. However, it is recommended that
the batteries charge for 48 hours after long-term storage.
쑺 Check the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label. If the
date has expired and the batteries were never recharged, do not use
the U PS. Contact your service representative.
