Use scenario
Power consumption conforms to the requirements in PSR0010 where it is modeled to operate at 25% load for
25% of the time, 50% load for 50% of the time and 75% load for 25% of the time. The UPS is also modeled to
operate in normal mode (average efficiency of 97% and annual use of 12,319kWh) 50% of the time and
ECOnversion mode (average efficiency of 99% and annual use of 4,544kWh) the remaining 50% of the time.

The Galaxy VS UPS does not require any special installation materials or operations. Installation is to be performed by
qualified personnel.
Product maintenance requires monitoring and replacement of components as needed. To align with PSR0010, the
power modules are replaced once and the fans are replaced two times. Additionally, it is expected that the dust filter
will need to be replaced annually.
This product contains Lithium metal coin batteries (6g), Printed Circuit Boards>10cm2 (44280g) and Electrolytic
Capacitors (5120g) that should be separated from the stream of waste so as to optimize end-of-life treatment.

declarations »
The PCR review was conducted by a panel of experts chaired by Philippe Osset (SOLINNEN)
Independent verification of the declaration and data, in compliance with ISO 14025 : 2010

According to this environmental analysis, proportionality rules may be used to evaluate the impacts of other products of this range.
The environmental indicators of other products in this family may be proportional extrapolated, by life cycle phase, based on the ratio of the
amount of a key parameter of the product, over the amount of that key parameter within the reference product. Proportionality rules are
based on the following key parameters for impacts by lifecycle phase: Manufacturing phase impacts - mass of the product (excluding
packaging). Distribution phase impacts - total mass of product (including packaging). Installation phase impacts - mass of packaging. Use
phase impacts - product lifetime energy consumption*. End of Life impacts - the product mass (excluding packaging).
* For the Use phase the abiotic depletion category is a function of the replacement part mass. For all others it is a function of the product
energy consumption.
