3 Mechanical Installation
This chapter provides brief instructions for mechanical installation of the Vertiv™ Liebert® APM2 UPS, including
environmental requirements, mechanical requirements, and mechanical considerations that must be considered when
planning the positioning and the cabling of the UPS equipment.
3.1 Precautions
The detailed installation steps are not provided in this section due to unique characteristic of each installation site. It presents
a guide to general procedures and practices that should be observed by the installation engineer, so that they can properly
handle the specific situation of the site.
NOTE: Professional installation required. Do not disassemble the package without permission of authorized service
engineer. The UPS should be installed by an authorized engineer in accordance with the information provided in this
chapter.
NOTE: The UPS can be connected to IT, TN and TT AC distribution systems (IEC60364-3), and must be of Three-
phase, Five-wire (A, B, C, N, PE) system.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. It can cause damage to the property, serious injury or death. When
connecting batteries, the battery terminal voltage will reach 400 VDC. Take special care when installing
batteries.
The following safety precautions must be followed while working on the batteries.
• Always wear protective equipment including eye wear and rubber gloves.
• Remove all the metal tools and jewelry, including finger rings, wristwatch.
• Use tools with insulated handle.
• If the battery has electrolyte leakage or the battery is damaged, it must be replaced. Place the battery into the
container that can withstand sulfuric acid and dispose of it according to the local regulations.
• If you come in contact with the battery’s electrolyte, wash and flush the area with water immediately. If it comes in
contact with your eyes, flush them with water and get medical aid immediately.
3.2 Transportation
The recommended mode of transportation is railroad transportation and shipping. If truck transportation is necessary, choose
smoother roads to protect the equipment.
WARNING! Risk of moving heavy unit and tipping over while moving. Can cause equipment damage,
personnel injury, or death. The UPS cabinet is heavy. See Table 12.3 on page172 weight of the cabinet. Make
sure that any equipment that will be used to move the UPS cabinet has sufficient lifting capacity. The UPS
cabinet presents a tipping hazard.
It is recommended to use mechanical equipment like an electric forklift to unload and transport the cabinet to the installation
site. If an electric forklift is used, insert the tines of the forklift below the bottom pallet to prevent the cabinet from falling over.
