Align the cables on the battery terminals so that the cable lug will not contact any
part of the cabinet even if the battery is moved. Keep the cable away from any
sharp metal edges.

:

Install the battery cables so they cannot be pinched by the battery cabinet or UPS
doors.

:

Make sure the fuse is positioned so that it will not contact any cabinet parts or
other battery posts if the batteries should move. Make sure that there is enough
clearance when the cabinet door closes.

:

Battery cabinet chassis (ground or earth) must be connected to the UPS chassis
(ground or earth). If you use conduit, this ground conductor must be routed in the
same conduit as the battery conductors.

:

Where conductors may be exposed to physical damage, protect the conductors in
accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70-1993.

:

If you are replacing batteries or repairing battery connections, follow the
procedure in the

Powerware FERRUPS FE/QFE UPS (500 VA–18kVA) User’s Guide
