I'm not quite sure what you're asking so will take a educated guess. You're asking if the current installation poses a fire hazard / risk?? 🤔 Per the User Manual the UPS must be used inside in a well ventilated area that is not in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, and prone to excessive dust & humidity.
The operating temperature for this unit is 0 - 40'C.
The UPS must be connected directly to the wall using its supplied plug. Extension cords / surge protectors must not be used to connect the UPS to AC Mains. If all of the above is met there is no reason to worry about a fire and based on the stated power consumption of 150 watts (540 Watts Rated) you're well below the maximum of what this unit can provide.
