3.1 Definitions
An uninterruptible
power
supply,
also uninterruptible
power
source, UPS or battery/flywheel backup, is an electrical apparatus that
provides emergency power to a load when the input power source,
typically mains power, fails. A UPS is typically used to protect hardware such
as computers, data centres, telecommunication equipment or other electrical
equipment where an unexpected power disruption could cause injuries,
fatalities, serious business disruption or data loss.

The mitigation measures are to specifically address the identified environmental impacts, in
addition to and not limited to, the items as described within the guidelines for method statement.
EMP for Air Emissions & Dust Generation:

Minimize vehicular movements and implement speed control.

Periodic water sprinkling for dust suppression at and around work area to minimize
airborne dust.
EMP for Noise:

Ensure field equipment maintenance team undertakes schedule preventive maintenance

and replacement of worm out components to minimize noise pollution.

Installation
Inspection

6.3 Pre-Installation Check:

All safety requirements are in place in accordance with project safety plan.
It will be ensured that the correct revision of the approved shop drawing is being used. The
latest drawing will be issued to the concerned Engineer and the superseded drawing will be
surrendered to the Quality Dept. Note that any areas on the drawing are subject to revision;
work will not proceed in these areas until an updated drawing has been issued. Any
deviation from IFC drawings will be intimated to the engineer for approval.
Ensure that all materials used have passed receiving inspection in accordance with QA
procedures and are not damaged or defective. Any non-conforming materials will be labeled
by store keeper and returned to quarantine area in accordance with procedure.
Ensure that competent & trained electricians will do the installation/jointing/ termination to
ensure best quality of workmanship. Tool box talk & Training will be provided by Site Engineer
as and when required. Electrician certificate will be provided before any works start at site.
Ensure the works are carried out in accordance with manufacturers installation
recommendations/Guidance and in the presence of manufacturer / vendor/ experienced
engineer or representative.
Do not place the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any
electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a safety hazard. Do not place the
UPS in an airtight room. The UPS system must be installed according to the instructions in
the manual. Installation may be performed by qualified personnel only. Failure to recognise
the electrical hazards could prove fatal.
Because of the high energy stored within the batteries, the UPS equipment must be handled
with care. The UPS must always be kept in the position marked on the package and must not
be dropped.
If the UPS is not immediately installed the following must be remembered:
The UPS should be stored in the original packing and shipping carton.
The recommended storing temperature is between +15C ... +25C.
The equipment must always be protected from moisture and weather.
Unpack the equipment and remove all the packing materials and shipping cartons. The
equipment must be inspected for damage during shipment. If damage has occurred during
transit, all the shipping cartons and packing materials should be stored for further
investigation.

6.4 Installation:
Note the following points when setting up the UPS system and its external battery units
(special accessories):
The contact surface must be smooth and in level. It must also be sufficiently strong and
sturdy to avoid vibration
and shock loads.
Make sure the mounting is able to support the weight: This is particularly important in
conjunction with external
Battery units.
Set up the units so that adequate air circulation is assured. There must be at least 100 mm
clearance at the
Back for ventilation purposes. Do not block the intake openings on the front and, if present,
on the side of the
Unit. There must be a gap of at least 50 mm here.
Set up external battery units on the side of the UPS system. To ensure the greatest possible
Mechanical stability, User should not set up the external battery unit(s) above or below the
UPS system.
Protect the units against external effects (in particular moisture and dust).
If you transport the unit from a cold room into a warm one, or if the room temperature
suddenly drops then condensation may form inside the unit. To avoid any damage due to
condensation, leave the unit to acclimatize for 2 hours before you switch it on.
If optional external battery cabinets will be connected to the UPS, take out the spacers
shipped with the battery cabinet.
Adjust the direction of the operation and display panel.
Please refer user manual for Cable Selection. Choice of the diameter and cross section of
conductors depend on the rated power of UPS, the installation and local regulations.
Steps to be follow:
Choose appropriate cables for input and output.
Remove the terminal block cover in the rear panel.
Connect the load to the output of the terminal block.
Connect the input power cable to the input of the terminal block. On selected models
connect the external battery cables. Secure the cables to the cable clamps.
Put the cover board back to the UPS and tighten the screws.
Before the input protection switch is being set in the ON position, supply power source to
the UPS.
Connecting to the Computer interface Computer interface: standard RS232 communication
port, use a RS232 cable to connect the UPS with the computer.
Raise Inspection after Installation of UPS for Client/ Consultant Approval.
