TS_604_01 PowerWave PW3000/TP User Manual UK 5/1/18 253: Installation2. Cut the wrappers and remove the packing carton by pulling it upwards.3. Remove the protection packaging from the sides and top of the unit then remove the side mounting brackets securingthe unit to the pallet. Retain the packaging materials for possible future shipment of the UPS.4. Using the wooden piece removed from the top of the UPS as a ramp, carefully slide the UPS off the pallet to its finalposition.5. Reattach the side mounting brackets to increase the cabinet stability.6. If desired, the mounting brackets can be fixed to the floor using M8 bolts.3.4 StorageUPS CabinetIf you plan to store the UPS cabinet prior to use it should be held it in a clean, dry environment with an ambienttemperature between -5°C to +60°C (max +35°C for batteries) and RH <95%. The UPS should preferably be stored in theoriginal packing and shipping carton, but if the packing container is removed you must take measures to protect the UPSfrom dust.BatteryThe UPS uses sealed, maintenance-free batteries whose storage capacity depends on the ambient temperature. It isimportant not to store the batteries for longer than 6 months at 20°C, 3 months at 30°C, or 2 months at 35°C storagetemperature without recharging them.For longer term storage the batteries should be fully recharged every 6 months @20°C.3.5 Planning the installation (site considerations)A certain amount of pre-planning will help ensure a smooth and trouble-free installation of the UPS system. The followingguidelines should be taken into account when planning a suitable UPS location and operating environment.1. The UPS is designed for indoor installation only.2. The route to the installation location must allow the equipment to be transported in an upright position.3. The floor at the proposed installation site and en-route from the off-loading point must be able to safely take the weightof the UPS and battery equipment plus fork lift during transit.4. Locations with high ambient temperature, moisture or humidity must be avoided.a) The installation site humidity should be <90% non-condensing.b) The prescribed ambient temperature is 0°C to +40°C. An ambient temperature of 20°C is recommended toachieve a long battery life.c) Any requested cooling air flow must be available. The air entering the UPS must not exceed +40°C.d) The air conditioning system must be able to provide a sufficient amount of cooling air to keep the room within theprescribed temperature range.5. The following environmental conditions should also be considered:a) Fire protection standards must be respected. The floor material should be non-flammable.b) The location must be free of dust and corrosive/explosive gases.c) The location must be vibration free.d) A minimum clearance of 50cm is required on the sides of the equipment to allow the free passage of cooling airWARNING: Water condensation may occur if the UPS is unpacked in a very low temperature environment.In this case, you must wait until the UPS is fully dried inside and outside before proceeding with theinstallation to avoid possible electric shock hazard and equipment malfunction.CAUTION: Sealed batteries must never be stored in a fully or partially discharged state. Extremetemperature, under-charge, overcharge or over-discharge will destroy batteries!• Charge the battery both before and after storing.• Always store the batteries in a dry, clean, cool environment in their original packaging.• If the packaging is removed protect the batteries from dust and humidity.
