how to install SecureUPS Battery Heater Mat

• Plan the installation location within the UPS cabinet to maximize contact with the battery enclosure while ensuring there is no blocking of airflow or access to other components. Verify that the chosen area can accommodate the 365 sq in heating surface without extending beyond the cabinet boundaries.
• Power down the cabinet and disconnect the UPS from the mains according to your facility’s safety procedures. Confirm that the circuit you intend to use has adequate amperage and is protected by a properly rated breaker.
• Position the heater mat so that it lays flat against the intended surface with no folds or creases. Avoid trapping air pockets, which can impede heat transfer. If the mat includes mounting tabs or adhesive options, secure it firmly to prevent shifting during cabinet operation.
• Connect the mat to a 115/120 VAC supply on a dedicated circuit or as directed by your facility’s electrical standards. Ensure wiring is routed away from hot surfaces and moving parts, using proper cable management to prevent strain or abrasion.
• Attach any required control components, such as the built-in thermostat, and verify that the thermostat sensor is placed to accurately sense the intended cabinet temperature. Power up the system and monitor the readings to confirm the unit cycles correctly and maintains the target range.
• Run a functional test by simulating cold ambient conditions or by temporarily lowering setpoints to observe activation and shutdown behavior. Confirm that the heater mat engages when temperature falls below the set threshold and deactivates safely when the target is reached.
• Document the installation with notes on circuit, location, and setpoints for future maintenance. Periodically inspect the mat for wear, secure mounting, and any signs of damage or loose connections, especially after door openings or rack movements.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is the SecureUPS Battery Heater Mat compatible with all Smart-UPS models? A: The heater mat is designed as an in-cabinet accessory intended to support Smart-UPS deployments.
