4.0 EQUIPMENT LOCATION
1. Handle cabinet(s) in accordance with the safety precautions in this manual, especially in these
sections:
• Battery Cabinet Precautions—inside front cover
• Important Safety Instructions—page 1
• 2.0 - Unloading and Handling—page 6
• 5.0 - Battery Installation—page 9
Use a suitable material handling device to move the cabinet to its final location. Exercise
extreme care because of the uneven weight distribution. Carefully lower the cabinet to the
floor.
2. Referring to Shipping Split Detail (Figures 38 through 43), and any other drawings that are
associated with switchgear, set cabinets in final position, preparatory to reconnection of shipping
split power and control wiring/bus.
3. Verify that the UPS system is installed in a clean, cool and dry location.
4. Installation and serviceability will be easier if adequate access is provided on all sides of the
equipment, but only front access is required.
a. Verify that there is adequate clearance to open cabinet doors—4 ft. (1.2m) is recommended.
NEC requires sufficient clearance in front of the equipment to fully open all doors without
restriction. See drawings and local codes. SCCT requires front and rear or one-side access for
installation and maintenance.
b. Verify that there is adequate area in front of circuit breakers to perform maintenance. Check
installation drawings for location of breakers. Check with local codes.
c. Verify that there is adequate clearance above all cabinets to allow exhaust air to flow without
restriction. The minimum clearance is 2 ft. (0.6m), unobstructed by conduit or any other
items. Liebert recommends against using upflow air conditioning systems or any system that
blows air down onto the top of the modules.
5. Align the UPS cabinet, battery cabinets (if used) and optional transformer and maintenance
bypass cabinets, as shown in the Line-Up Detail drawing (Figure 46) and your submittal
package.
6. Referring to Shipping Split Details (Figures 38 through 43 and your submittal package for SCC/
Switchgear drawings), connect cabinets together mechanically.
7. Referring to Shipping Split Details (Figures 38 through 43 and your submittal package for SCC/
Switchgear drawings), connect intercabinet ground straps, power wiring and bus interconnects.
Internal control connections should be left disconnected for later installation by Liebert LGS
Customer Engineers.
