Hmm to me that don't make a whole lot of sense to place the ups up in the tower !? Number one you have no way to power cycle the equipment without putting in some sort of remote controlled device ($$$$$). Two UPS batteries don't like to much heat or cold. Most UPSes I seen have a operation environment requirements/limitations of 32 - 104�F. A close by lightning strike and the overload protector will blow and needs to be reset. Unnecessary additional weight load on the tower (smallest ones weight around 10lbs). Plus the battery will not last for every. It needs to be replaced every 2-3 years
Just make more sense to me to have the UPS at the ground level where you can maintain it since they are not maintenance free and then you can easily do powercycles and you don't need as large nema box up there (less windload) and less weight. Or is there something I'm missing ?
