APC Back-UPS 1400VA 230V cooling

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-28

Hi!

I have my UPS 1400VA on middle of a table, and have NAS at one side and the subwoofer at the other side. The two devices are almost touching the UPS. The UPS needs more space for heating issues or is enought? I can leave the UPS to the left, leaving only the right side almost touch the NAS (but free UPS left and up side). But still almost touch NAS side.

Thank you!

Hi,

You should keep the vents of the UPS clear. That unit vents on each side so you should leave a minimum of 3 inches on each side to allow for proper ventilation. If the vents are blocked the UPS will still run but the battery may over heat causing a need to replace the battery more often than normal.
