Site Planning Environmental considerations • Ensure that the wall area you selected to install the MBP is structurally sound and able to support the size and weight of the unit. Note: See “Specifications” on page 13 for the size and weight specifications for your particular unit. • Store or operate the MBP in a climate-controlled environment. Ensure a temperature of 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F) and a relative humidity of 0 to 95%, non-condensing.
Installation Procedure Overview Warning: Prior to beginning installation of the MBP, read and understand all safety instructions provided in “Safety” on page 1. • All internal cable connections and the Q3 to Q2 busbar connections are made at the factory prior to shipment. • All external cable connections with the UPS and mains must be made on-site. External cable is not supplied with the shipment. • All control wire connections between the UPS and the MBP must be made on-site.
Note: APC recommends running mains utility wires through the top of the enclosure and running UPS input, output, and control wiring through the bottom of the enclosure.
Mount the MBP to the wall Note: APC strongly recommends mounting the MBP to a minimum 20-mm thick plywood board or similar solid backing that has approximate dimensions of 660mm (26in) L × 600mm (24in) W. Mount the plywood (or other backing) to the wall using appropriate hardware for the type of wall used. See “Site Planning” on page 6 for guidelines on choosing where to mount the unit. Measure and mark the four (4) mounting hole locations on the backing.
