4200FA 15-50KVA Users Manual

3.0 Installation Precautions

Based on the 4200FA UPS external dimensions and the way the outer panels are removed; minimum amounts of unobstructed space around the unit are necessary for ventilation and maintenance access. The following section and Fig. 3.1 shows the minimum clearances required for proper UPS site installation.

3.1 Equipment Placement

1) Do not install the UPS on an inclined surface, or areas that are subject to frequent vibrations or jolting. This could damage UPS circuits.

15-30 kVA Premium – 6 in. (152 mm)

15-30 kVA Base – 12 in. (304 mm)

50 kVA Premium – 12 in. (304 mm)

25/50 kVA Seismic – 12 in. (304 mm)

2) Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to get inside the UPS.

3) Allow at least the following spacing for air ventilation and maintenance access.

Front: 20 in. (500 mm)

Sides: 6 in. (152 mm)

4) Do not install the UPS in a location that is subject to high humidity. Also, do not install the unit in areas that are exposed to direct sunlight, or contaminated areas subject to high levels of airborne dust, metal particles, or flammable gasses.

5) Verify the ventilation and air conditioning system at the site is capable of removing the heat generated by the UPS.

UPS is 32 – 104 °F (0 – 40 °C); 77 °F

temperature for maximum battery life.

6) Avoid installation near sources of electrical noise. Always make sure that the unit's ground is intact to prevent electrical shock and help prevent electrical noise.

7) This UPS generates and radiates radio-frequency energy during operation. Although RFI noise filters are installed inside the unit there is no guarantee that the UPS will not influence some sensitive devices, which are operating in near proximity. If such interference occurs, the UPS should either be installed farther away from the affected equipment and/or powered from a different source than the affected equipment.
