Introduction

Tripp Lite BP Series External Battery Packs are designed for use with various Tripp Lite UPS systems equipped with external battery pack connectors.

Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! The mounting shelves are not intended to support more than one battery pack. Do not stack multiple battery packs on a single set of mounting shelves. Failure to follow this warning may lead to product damage and/or risk of personal bodily harm.

• Use caution when lifting battery packs. Because of the considerable weight of all battery packs, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Make certain the battery packs and UPS use the same DC voltage before connecting them.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
• Suggested mounting procedures are for common rack types and may not be appropriate for all rack configurations. User must determine the fitness of rack and wall-mount hardware and procedures before mounting.
• When connecting multiple battery packs to a single UPS, the battery packs should be approximately the same age.
• It is normal for sparks to occur when connecting external batteries.
• Do not unplug external batteries from the UPS while the UPS is operating on battery power, due to the possibility of dangerous arcing.
• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current. Observe proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS or batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number and type of batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements or visit http://www.tripplite.com/support/recycling-program for recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.). Visit Tripp Lite on the Web at http://www.tripplite.com/products/battery-finder/ to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.

Mounting (4-Post Rack)

Mount your battery pack in a 4-post or 2-post rack or rack enclosure, or in an upright tower position. The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. If hardware and procedures are not suitable for your application, contact the manufacturer of your rack or rack enclosure. The procedures described in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications.

4-Post Mounting

Most external battery packs include the hardware required for 4-post mounting. If this hardware did not come with your unit, an Adjustable 4-Post Rack-mount Shelf Kit (models: 4POSTRAILKIT or 4POSTRAILKITHD) may be ordered separately.

1 The included plastic pegsA will temporarily support the empty rack-mount shelves B while you install the permanent mounting hardware. Insert a peg near the center of the front and rear bracket of each shelf as shown. (Each front bracket has six holes and each rear bracket has three holes.) The pegs will snap into place.

After installing the pegs, expand each shelf to match the depth of your rack rails. The pegs will fit through the square holes in the rack rails to support the shelves. Refer to the rack unit labels to confirm the shelves are level in all directions.

Note: The support ledge of each shelf must face inward.

2 Secure the shelves B to the mounting rails permanently using the included screws and cup washers C as shown.

- For 2U equipment mounting, place four screws total in the front and four screws total in the back. - For 3U equipment mounting, place six screws total in the front and four screws total in the back.

Tighten all screws before proceeding.

Warning: Do not attempt to install equipment until you have inserted and tightened the required screws. The plastic pegs will not support the weight of your equipment.

NOTICE: If Battery Orientation Warning labels are affixed to both sides of the battery pack, it can only support rack-mount installation.

Connection

1 Select battery packs have a polarized plug on an output cord permanently connected to the rear panel. Simply plug the output cord directly into the UPS external battery connector (refer to the UPS manual for external battery connector description and location).

Note: Only one of these battery packs is generally connected to a UPS at one time. For longer runtime, use one or more Tripp Lite Battery Packs with daisy-chain capability.

2 Select battery packs feature daisy-chain capability for longer runtime B. To connect multiple battery packs to a single UPS for increased runtime, connect the cabled output connector of the first battery pack to the UPS system's external battery connector, then "daisy-chain" the others: C connect the corded output connector on the second battery pack to the daisy-chain input connector on the second pack, and so on. (Refer to your UPS Owner's Manual for external battery connection description and location.)

B C 2

Note: Multiple battery pack arrays will provide longer runtimes, but will also require longer recharge times.

3 Select battery packs contain an external battery detection port on the rear panel. The battery packs should only be used with host UPS models that provide the same functionality. The UPS will automatically detect the external battery upon connection with the battery communication cable D. Check the UPS manual for compatible external battery pack models, configuration requirements and potential limitations. Battery packs are for use only with UPS systems supporting external battery pack detection cabling (this connection is not required if the UPS does not support this feature).

UPS WARNING: Power & Battery Pack (A) OR TESMENT Battery Pack

Maintenance

Battery packs require no maintenance but should be kept dry at all times. Avoid installation in locations with high heat and/or humidity. The battery packs should be kept fully charged by being connected to an active UPS system, not left in a depleted condition. Batteries left in a discharged state will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Troubleshooting

There is a fuse array inside the battery packs. If a heavy overload or short circuit is encountered, a fuse will open (blow). A battery pack with a blown fuse will deliver no output voltage at any load. A qualified technician must replace the fuses. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for additional information.

Storage

Disconnect your battery pack's power cable before storing. If you plan to store your battery pack for an extended period of time, fully recharge its batteries every three months by connecting it to a UPS that is connected to AC input for at least 12 hours.
