4. Floor Preparation
4.1 The installer or site/equipment engineer must ensure that sufficient aisle space
will remain once the Barriers have been installed. There should be a minimum
of 30 inches between Barriers. Aisle spacing at the end of each rack may be as
little as 24 inches, providing no conflict exists with battery maintenance
requirements. The aisle spacing, including the space between the surrounding
Barriers, should be sufficient to permit all required maintenance (including battery
installation and removal). See the National Electric Code or contact the local authority
having jurisdiction for further clarification regarding aisle clearances.
4.2 After clearances have been verified, locate and mark the outline of the
Barrier using the Barrier’s dimensions and a tape measure. The Barrier should
be centered around the rack with at least 1 inch clearance in all directions
to meet 1995 Uniform Fire Code article 64 requirements.
