4.0 Installation
4.1 Receiving Inspection
Once the UPS has been removed from its shipping container, it should be inspected for damage that may have occurred
while in transit. Immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase if any damage is found. The packing materials are
made from recyclable materials and should be saved for reuse or disposed of properly.
4.2 Protection Strategies
This UPS provides high performance power line protection to the loads. There are, however, other potential entry points
for damaging surges in information systems. These include serial ports (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, etc.), parallel ports,
telephone lines, and network connections. These other entry points must be considered in developing a comprehensive
system protection strategy. Contact your dealer or call the number on the back cover of this manual for information on a
complete set of related products designed to accomplish total system protection.
Sensitive information systems can be further safeguarded by following these guidelines:
n Verify that all electrical outlets are properly grounded.
n Connect information systems to a different electrical service branch than heavy motor loads like air
conditioners, copiers, refrigerators, and heavy industrial machinery.
n Plug all power protection and information system equipment into the same branch where possible.
