UPS System

When power fails, Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) Systems provide short-term power. These power failures can cause catastrophic effects to businesses’ data centers that do not have backup UPS Systems. Alpine’s UPS Systems provide uninterrupted power by running parallel to AC power. When the AC power fails, the UPS systems continue to run and prevent any loss of data.

Before the installing occurs, an extensive Site Survey may need to be performed. It is imperative to select the best location and design for your UPS system prior to install. Once that is complete, put together a plan to installstartup.

Once this is established, work with team to discuss some of the following items:

  • Project Timeline
  • Delivery / Rigging
  • Required Power Outage (if applicable)
  • Risks associated with project

Need to check proper input and output connections to deliver the hassle free installation with accurately safety conditions.

The life of the UPS system is adversely affected if the installation does not meet the following guidelines: • The system must be installed on a level floor suitable for computer or electronic equipment. • The system must be installed in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants. • The UPS cabinet uses forced air cooling to regulate internal component temperature. Air inlets are in the front of the cabinet and outlets are in the top. You must allow clearance in front of and above each cabinet for proper air circulation.

  1. Keep surroundings clean and free from excess moisture.
  2. Do not operate the UPS system close to gas or electric heat sources.
  3. The system is not intended for outdoor use.
  4. The operating environment should be maintained within the parameters stated.
  5. Keep the cabinet doors closed and locked to ensure proper cooling airflow and to protect personnel from dangerous voltages inside the unit.

Correct earthing is essential for personnel safety and equipment protection. All earthing points within the system must be connected to a properly planned and secure earthing installation.

A few important UPS maintenance tasks include the following:

  • Visually inspect of the area around UPS and battery (or other energy-storage) equipment for obstructions and proper cooling.
  • Ensure no operating abnormalities or warnings have registered on the UPS panel, such as an overload or a battery near discharge.
  • Look over batteries for signs of corrosion or other defects.
