3.2 INSTALLATION RULES
NOTE
Before making any connection and switching on the VH Series UPS, please check the following conditions:
 Your mains supply is 120 Volts and 50/60 Hz.
 The total power demand of the connected equipment does not exceed the rated output power of the VH Series UPS
(refer to chapter 8 for the ratings).
 The UPS is intended to be used in normal domestic and office situations.
 The UPS must be powered from a single phase grounded socket-outlet. Do not use extension cords.
VH3000: This socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
 Place cables in such a way that no one can step on or trip over them.
 Avoid locations that are excessively humid, near water, near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
 The ambient temperature should not exceed 104F (40C). Optimal battery lifetime is obtained if the ambient
temperature does not exceed 86F (30C).
