Reserve Battery Cabinet Components/Cables
A three-meter battery cable used to connect reserve power batteries to
the system power supply when the system has less than three cabinets.
One reserve power cable is required for each cabinet in a one or two
cabinet system (wall or floor mount). The cable connects the Strata CT
cabinet power supply directly to the battery terminals (a BBDB is not
required).
Strata CT reserve power battery distribution box is required when
connecting reserve power batteries to three or more cabinets (wall or
floor mount). The box is field installed into one of the Strata CT cabinet
side panels.
The BBDB provides five BBTC2A-2.0M, battery distribution cables to
connect reserve power from the BDDB box to each individual cabinet
power supply.
Two BBTC1A-2.0M are also supplied when ordering the BBDB battery
distribution box.
A two-meter battery cable used to connect reserve power batteries to the
BBDB battery distribution box. One reserve power cable is required in a
three or four cabinet system and two cables are required for five cabinet
systems (wall or floor mount). The cable connects Strata CT BBDB box
directly to the battery terminals.
1. Connect the black jumper wire (supplied with the PBTC-3M cable) from the positive
terminal of one 12VDC battery to the negative terminal of the second 12VDC battery
(Figure 2-14).
2. Ensure that a serviceable 10-amp fuse is installed in the in-line fuse holder of the PBTC-
3M cable.
3. Connect the PBTC-3M battery cable white lead to the open positive terminal of the
12VDC battery. Connect the black lead to the open negative terminal of the second
12VDC battery.
Important! The cabinet(s) must be connected to the (live) AC power source, and the
power supply On/Off switch set to On prior to the final step of connecting the
reserve power batteries to the power supply via the BATT+/- receptacle. If the
batteries are connected after AC power is lost, reserve power will not
function.
