The maximum allowable power for 4 parallel UPS units is limited to 4 x Pn.
Restrictions to parallel operation
  
(*) : except in ECO mode or bypass mode.
Thermal characteristics
 The operating temperature range is 0°C to +40°C (0°C to 30°C for overload conditions), however optimum operation is within 
the +20°C to +25°C range.
 Battery backup time is adversely affected by high and low temperatures. It is significantly reduced at temperatures under 
10°C.
Above 25°C, battery service life is cut in half every 10°C. Above 40°C, battery manufacturers no longer guarantee operation 
due to the risk of thermal runaway.
