Recommendations

Place the UPS in a controlled environment free from excessive dust, moisture and temperatures outside the manufacturer’s recommended range. Periodically check battery condition and replace batteries according to usage and end-of-life indications. For installations with critical uptime requirements, consider regular testing, load assessments and use of monitoring tools to ensure reliable backup performance.
