2.0 Inspection/Storage/Disposal
2.1 Inspection of the new UPS equipment
Upon receipt of the UPS, a careful inspection for shipping damage should be made.
After Uncrating:
1) Check the unit for loose, broken, bent or otherwise damaged parts. If damage
has occurred during shipment, keep all original crating and packing materials
for return to shipping agent. Warranty will not apply to units which are damaged
during shipment.
2) Check to see that the rated capacity and the model number specified on the
nameplate conform to the order specifications.
2.2 Storage of UPS equipment.
If the UPS equipment is to be subject to long or short term storage the following
guidelines should be used.
Avoid:
1) Storage in sites subject to extreme changes in temperature or high humidity.
2) Storage in sites subject to exposure of high levels of dust or metal particles
3) Storage on inclined floor surfaces or in sites subject to excessive vibration.
Before storing:
1) Charge the units batteries.
2) Place the STOP/RUN switch in the STOP position.
Storing:
1) Store within a temperature range of -20° to 40° C (-4° to 104° F).
2) For best results, store the UPS in the original shipping container and place on a
wood or metal pallet.
3) The optimum storage temperature is 21° C (70° F). Higher ambient
temperatures cause UPS batteries to need recharging more frequently.
After storing:
1) If stored in an ambient temperature under 20° C (68° F); recharge the batteries
every 9 months.
2) If stored in an ambient temperature of 20° to 30° C (68° to 86° F); recharge the
batteries every 6 months.
3) If stored in an ambient temperature of 30° to 40° C (86° to 104° F); recharge the
batteries every 3 months.
