Method Statement
III.

Preparation stage
a. The delivery vehicle will be parked in the loading area; the equipment will be
unpacked removed from vehicle using the tail lift.
b. Verify compliance between type label on reverse side and system ordered.
c. Check input and output voltage.
d. Copy the type label data to label copy below for easy identification of the
system.
e. Use a fork lift or pallet to transport the system to installation site.
f. Open UPS doors and unscrew metal straps mounted on front cover of UPS.
g. The UPS equipment will then be moved into position using scoots and pallet
trucks.
h. The batteries and stand will be moved into the UPS room using pallet trucks

IV.

Installation Stage
UPS
a. All parts are accessible from front or top of UPS.
b. Identify and check against delivery note all batteries, links and cables are
sufficient and correct.
c. Study the installation guide and layout drawings supplied by the
manufacture.
d. Attach incoming and out-going cables to terminals.
e. Always keep AC, DC and communication able separate.
f. Follow the installation guide for power and communication cable entry.

surfaces, phase to phase and phase to ground.

l. Verify that all power & control wires are run in individual, separate conduits.
Battery
a. Load new batteries paying particular attention to placement according
to diagram and polarity.
b. Connect positive and negative feeds to the start and finish of the string
c. Connect one of the centre links and note the voltage and polarity
d. The installation of batteries requires battery knowledge and should
only be carried out/supervised by qualified electricians familiar with
batteries. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
e. Avoid rough treatment and opening of batteries. Released electrolyte is

grounded, remove unwanted ground source. Any contact with
grounded batteries may result in electric shocks. The likelihood of
shocks will be reduced if grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance.
