1. Reinstall the front door of the battery cabinet.

2. Install the temperature sensor provided with the UPS above the battery cabinet, approximately 300 mm (12 in) from the top. Route the signal cable to the UPS and connect according to the instructions in the UPS installation manual.

NOTE: The temperature sensor measures the ambient temperature. Do not place the temperature sensor close to external heating or cooling equipment which may give an incorrect measurement of the ambient temperature.

Overview of Signal Cables between the Battery Cabinets and the Auxiliary Contacts in the UPS

The connection of auxiliary contacts is dependent on the number of battery breakers supported by the UPS. In the examples below two banks of battery breakers are supported.

NOTE: If the combined short circuit current of the battery cabinets exceeds the short circuit rating of the UPS, a pull box with fuses or an external box with a battery breaker must be installed. Please contact Schneider Electric for more information.
