How to install APC Galaxy VS 60kVA Tower UPS
Installing the Galaxy VS 60kVA Tower UPS follows best practices for safe, reliable power protection. Begin by planning a location that offers proper ventilation, stable mounting, and convenient access for maintenance. Verify that the installation space complies with electrical and safety codes, and prepare the floor and mounting surface to support the weight and footprint of the unit. Unpack and inspect all components, confirming that power modules, battery modules, and any expansion options are present and undamaged. Position the UPS in the chosen location, connect input power through appropriate protective devices, and connect the UPS output to the IT loads using correctly rated cabling. If you are integrating battery modules, install them in accordance with the manufacturer’s sequence and polarity guidelines before energizing the system. Once the hardware is in place, configure the management interface to reflect your site’s electrical configuration, load priorities, and alert thresholds. Finally, perform commissioning tests to verify proper operation, including alarm functionality, automatic transfer between utility power and inverter, and battery discharge tests to validate runtime estimates. Throughout the process, follow all safety precautions and consult official installation guides for region-specific requirements.
