Decommission or Move the UPS to a New Location

Shut down the UPS completely – follow the instructions in the UPS operation manual.

Lockout/Tagout all breakers in the maintenance bypass cabinet/maintenance bypass panel/switchgear in the OFF (open) position.

Lockout/Tagout all battery breakers in the switchgear/battery solution in the OFF (open) position.

Remove the front panel from the UPS.

Lockout/Tagout the internal maintenance breaker IMB in the OFF (open) position.

Remove all power modules from the UPS:

CAUTION
Heavy load Power modules are heavy and require two persons to lift. 20 kW power module weighs 25 kg (55 lbs). 50 kW power module weighs 38 kg (84 lbs). Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Pull the power module halfway out. A locking mechanism prevents the power module from being pulled all the way out.
Release the lock by pressing the release button on both sides of the power module and remove the power module.
Install a filler plate (if available) in front of the empty power module slot.

Store the power modules safely until reinstallation.

WARNING
risk of equipment damage Store the power modules at an ambient temperature of -15 to 40 °C (5 to 104 °F), 10-80% non-condensing humidity. Store the power modules in their original protective packaging. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Remove the lower front plate.

Measure for and verify ABSENCE of voltage with a multimeter probe through the holes in the transparent cover for input, bypass, output, neutral, and DC.

Remove the transparent cover.

Measure for and verify ABSENCE of voltage on each input/bypass/output/DC busbar before continuing.

DANGER
hAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Measure for and verify ABSENCE of voltage on each input/bypass/output/DC busbar before continuing. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Front View of the UPS

Disconnect and remove all power cables from the UPS. See Connect the Power Cables or Connect the Power Cables with NEMA 2 Hole Plates for details.

Remove the top cover.

Disconnect and remove any signal cables from the top and the front of the UPS. For UPS system with modular battery cabinet(s): See Connect the Signal Cables from a Modular Battery Cabinet for details. For simplified 1+1 parallel UPS system: See Connect the IMB Signal Cables in a Simplified 1+1 Parallel System for details.

Rear View of the UPS with Conduits

For UPS system with maintenance bypass cabinet: Remove the interconnection hardware between the UPS and the maintenance bypass cabinet. See the installation manual provided with the maintenance bypass cabinet for details. Save all parts for reinstallation.

For UPS system with adjacent battery cabinet: Remove the interconnection hardware between the UPS and the adjacent battery cabinet. See the installation manual provided with the adjacent battery cabinet for details. Save all parts for reinstallation.

Reinstall all removed plates and covers. See Final Installation for details.

If present, remove the seismic front anchoring bracket from the UPS. Save for reinstallation.

Front View of the UPS

If the UPS is installed on the mounting skid kit GVSOPT027, dismount the UPS from the mounting skid. See the installation manual provided with the kit for details.

Reinstall the front panel on the UPS:

Insert the two tabs in the bottom of the front panel in the UPS at a tilted angle.
Reconnect the front panel strap to the UPS.
Close the front panel and lock with the two locking knobs.

Raise the feet of the UPS until the casters have full contact with the floor.

You can now move the UPS by rolling it over the floor on the casters.

WARNING
TIPPING hazard The casters of the UPS are exclusively for transport on flat, even, hard, and horizontal surfaces. The casters of the UPS are intended for transport over short distances (i.e. inside the same building). Move at a slow pace and pay close attention on the floor conditions and the balance of the UPS. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

If present, remove the rear seismic anchoring bracket from the UPS and remove the seismic anchors from the floor. Save for reinstallation. See Install the Seismic Anchoring (Option) for details.

For transport over longer distances or in conditions that are not suitable for the casters of the UPS:

WARNING
TIPPING hazard For transport over longer distances or in conditions that are not suitable for the casters of the UPS, ensure: that personnel performing the transport have necessary skills and have received adequate training; to use appropriate tools to safely lift and transport the UPS; to protect the product against damage by using appropriate protection (like wrapping or packaging). Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Transportation requirements:

Mount the UPS in a vertical position in the center of a suitable pallet with minimum pallet dimensions: 680 mm x 1040 mm (27 in x 41 in)). The pallet must be suitable for the weight of the UPS (180 kg (397 lbs) with no power modules installed).
Use appropriate means of fixation to mount the UPS to the pallet.
The original shipping pallet in combination with the original transportation brackets can be reused, if in undamaged condition.

DANGER
TIPPING hazard The UPS must be appropriately fixed to the pallet immediately after being placed on the pallet. The fixation hardware must be strong enough to withstand vibrations and shocks during loading, transport, and unloading. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
Unexpected equipment behavior Do not lift the UPS with a forklift/pallet truck directly on the frame as it may bend or damage the frame. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Perform one of the following:

Decommission the UPS, OR
Move the UPS to a new location to install it.

Only for installing the UPS in a new location: Follow the installation manual to install UPS in the new location. See Installation Procedure for Single Systems, Installation Procedure for Parallel Systems, Installation Procedure for Single Marine Systems, or Installation Procedure for Parallel Marine Systems for installation overview. Startup must only be performed by Schneider Electric.

DANGER
hAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Startup must only be performed by Schneider Electric. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
