Allow batteries to charge uninterrupted for 24 hours after installation. • Do not attempt to service the integrated battery charger (included with “C” models only). Contact Tripp Lite if service is required. These symbols may appear on the product label:...
4. If the battery cabinet includes an integrated battery charger (“C” models only), examine the wires at the DC output terminal closely. If any of the leads are bent or otherwise damaged from shipping, contact Tripp Lite. Damaged leads could cause a battery short circuit.
3 – Battery Cabinet Installation 3-4 Internal Wiring (Typical) • Battery cabinets use multiple 6 VDC or 12 VDC batteries connected in series to provide nominal DC voltages ranging from 240 VDC to 480 VDC. • Internal cabling is sized for specific application load currents. The insulated cables can be 2 AWG, 4 AWG, 2/0 AWG, 4/0 AWG or dual 2/0 AWG.
3 – Battery Cabinet Installation 3-7 Electrical Connection DANGER! LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the warnings in this manual and all applicable electrical and safety codes. Incorrect wiring may cause serious personal injury and property damage.
4 – Operation and Charging 4-1 Determine Charging Voltages To determine the appropriate equalization (freshening) charge voltage and float charge voltage, multiply the number of batteries connected in series in the battery cabinet by the recommended charging voltage per unit. For example: A +/- 240 VDC cabinet containing 40 each of the UPS12-400MR batteries in series would use the following charging voltages: Freshening/Equalization Charge Voltage = 20 x 14.4 VDC/unit average= +/- 288 VDC...
5 – Maintenance The battery cabinet contains valve-regulated recombinant lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, which are maintenance-free relative to the electrolyte. You cannot add water to these batteries or sample the electrolyte specific gravity. It is necessary, however, to periodically check the charging voltage, temperature and connections of the individual battery units. 5-1 Maintenance Schedule Quarterly Check 1.
