PREPARATION FOR USE
3.4. STORAGE
If it is not intended that the UPS be used within seven days of delivery, attention shall be
paid to the storage conditions.
The storage temperature range is -40° to +70°C
- If the batteries or the equipment are to be stored they must be kept in a clean, dryen-
vironment and away from extremes of temperatures.
3.5. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The UPS must be installed vertically, on a level and even surface and in an area protected
from extremes of temperature, water and humidity. Do not stack units and do not place ob-
jects on top of them.
The operating temperature range of the UPS is 0 °C to 35 °C (40°C for maximum 8 hours
continuous operation).
The ideal environmental temperature range is 15 °C to 25 °C.
The battery life is defined at 20°C. Each increment of 10 °C above 25 °C reduces the ex-
pected life by 50%.
Installation altitude
When operating the UPS at altitudes greater than 1000m above M.S.L., the load must be
reduced according to fig. 3. If the ambient temperature remains less than +30°C, no load
reduction is necessary for altitudes up to 2000 m.

3.6. ACCESS TO AREA
The area must have sufficient space for installation manoeuvres to be carried out. Access
doors must be wide enough to permit unobstructed transport of the device (see "Installa-
tion" on page 13).
