A parallel system with up to three uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) can be installed to provide a parallel
capacity and/or redundant system. This load sharing system provides more capacity than a single UPS and can
provide backup, depending on the load and configuration. In addition, when one UPS is taken out of service for
maintenance or is not operating properly, a redundant UPS continues to supply uninterrupted power to the
critical load. A parallel Eaton®Powerware Hot Sync®Controller Area Network (CAN) Bridge Card provides
connectivity for system metering and operational mode control. The parallel system consists of two or three
UPSs, each with a CAN Bridge Card and a parallel tie cabinet.
Figure 1 shows the Eaton 9155 UPS and an optional Extended Battery Module (EBM).

Use the following asic sequence of steps to install the UPS:
1. Create an installation plan for the UPS system.
2. Prepare your site for the UPS system.
3. Inspect and unpack the UPS cabinet.
4. Unload and install the UPS cabinet, and wire the system.
5. Complete the Installation Checklist.
6. Have authorized service personnel perform preliminary operational checks and start up the system.
The instructions are intended for the chief operator/system supervisor, electrical consultants, and installation
electricians. Local regulations and electrical code must be followed during the UPS installation.

Before installing the UPS system, read and understand how this manual applies to the system being installed.
Use this chapter’s procedures and illustrations and those in Chapter 4 UPS System Installation to create a
logical plan for installing the system.

For the UPS system to operate at peak efficiency, the installation site should meet the environmental
parameters outlined in this manual. The operating environment must meet the weight, clearance, and
environmental requirements specified.

The UPS system installation must meet the following guidelines:
• The system must be installed on a level floor suitable for computer or electronic equipment.
• The system must be operated at an altitude no higher than 1500m (5000 ft) without derating. For additional
assistance with high altitude operation, contact an Eaton service representative (see paragraph
1.5 Getting Help).
• The system must be installed in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants.
CAUTION
Do not expose the UPS to overly aggressive environments, like salt mist or corrosive gases. High relative
humidity accelerates the effects of contaminants. The UPS should be installed in a G1 environment (based on
ANSI/ISA S-71.04 classifications). If the UPS is used in a more aggressive environment, it can cause reduced
product life and possibly early failure. If the installation location does not meet the recommended environment,
contact Eaton service representative for further information (see paragraph 1.5 Getting Help).
• The environmental requirements specified below are for the air at the intake ports of the 9155 UPS, and
are the maximum, not to exceed, ratings.
–There shall be at least a 1.8°F (1.0°C) difference between the dry bulb temperature and the wet bulb
temperature, at all times, to maintain a non-condensing environment.
–The maximum rate of temperature change shall be limited to 3°F over 5 minutes (36°F/hour), based on
the ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2013.

• The newer, more energy efficient data center cooling methods (such as air side economization) can create
much wider ranges of temperature and Relative Humidity (RH) in the UPS room and/or data center. There
are two aspects of this increased operating environment that can, if ignored, create issues.
–ne is the creation of microclimates, which are persistent variations of temperature and/or RH within
a single room. For example one side of the room is always cooler than the other side, no matter the
actual temperature.
–The other aspect is the rate of change of temperature and/or RH, which can occur during transitions
within the cooling system. Examples: changing the mixture ratio of inside versus outside air, or
external changes in the outside air when going from night to day, and back to night.
–When ignored, either one of these aspects can create an undesirable microclimate at the UPS
location. If the environment created by this microclimate exceeds the UPS operating specification, the
UPS reliability, over time, will be reduced. These same environmental extremes will also create
reliability concerns for any servers that are exposed to them.
Failure to follow guidelines may void your warranty.
The basic environmental requirements for operation of the UPS are:
• Ambient Temperature Range: 5–40°C (41–104°F)
• Recommended perating Range: 5–40°C (41–104°F)
• Maximum Relative Humidity: 5–95%, noncondensing
CAUTION
If battery systems are located in the same room as the UPS, the battery manufacturer's environmental
requirements should be followed if they are more stringent than the UPS requirements. perating
temperatures above the recommended range will result in decreased battery life and performance, and may
reduce or void the battery warranty.
The UPS ventilation requirements are shown in Table 1. To allow for future power upgrades, Eaton
recommends using air conditioning or ventilation sized for the fully rated UPS kVA installed instead of the
derated kVA ordered. Sizing the site cooling infrastructure to be capable of cooling the maximum kVA size will
allow a full power rating upgrade without having to modify the infrastructure.

The UPS equipment operating environment must meet the weight requirements shown in Table 2\ and the size
requirements shown in Table 3.
When planning the installation, consider the UPS weight for floor loading. The strength of the installation
surface must be adequate for point and distributed loadings. The approximate weights are shown in the
following table.
