how to install Eaton Powerware FERRUPS 12.5kVA Tower UPS

• Choose a stable, well-ventilated location with adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance access. Keep the unit away from heat sources, moisture, and excessive dust.
• Place the UPS on a solid surface in its upright tower orientation and secure it as needed to prevent movement. Ensure there is enough space around the unit for serviceability and cooling.
• Connect the input power to a dedicated branch circuit sized to handle the UPS rating. Use proper cable management to avoid strain on connectors and to maintain a clean installation.
• Plug protected devices into the UPS output outlets, distributing critical loads to optimize protection and battery life. Do not exceed the recommended load capacity, and stagger connections to minimize inrush effects.
• Power up the system, configure the on-board LCD and any optional management card, and run a self-test to verify normal operation. Install the appropriate power management software, set alert notifications, and schedule regular battery tests to ensure readiness.
