BASIC OPERATION - CONTINUED
Connecting Multiple Extended Battery Modules
Additional Extended Battery Modules are connected in parallel, the voltage maintains the
same, yet the battery amp-hour capacity depends on the numbers of Extended Battery Modules
in the set-up. Follow the steps described below to add multiple Extended Battery Modules to
your UPS.
1. Use the auxiliary power cord to connect the AC inlet from one Extended Battery Module to
the AC outlet of another Extended Battery Module.
2. Plug the Extended Battery Module into a grounded receptacle/ wall outlet.
3. Connect the Extended Battery Module to your UPS by plugging the extended battery
module connector plug into the connector socket on the rear panel of the UPS. Ensure the
color coded connector plug lines up correctly with the colors in the UPS socket, such as red
to red, black to black and green to green.
4. Connect the BM/ENV port from UPS rear panel to BM port marked “IN” on the rear panel
of the Extended Battery Module using the provided BM cable, and then connect another
BM cable between BM port marked “OUT” and BM port marked “IN” of another Extended
Battery Module. Refer to illustration below.
5. Check and modify the Extended Battery Module Quantity setting on your UPS through the
LCD module, PowerPanel® Business software or RMCARD interface (if installed) to ensure the
UPS reports an accurate runtime.
Be aware of the following statements:
1. Your Extended Battery Module may be used immediately upon receipt. However, charging
the battery for at least 12 hours before connecting to UPS is recommended to ensure the
battery reaches its maximum charge. Charge loss may occur during shipping and storage. To
recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet.
2. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the Extended Battery Module plugged into an AC
outlet at all times.
3. Always plug the Extended Battery Module into a grounded receptacle/ wall outlet. Make
sure the wall branch outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service
equipment with large electrical demands, e.g. air conditioner, refrigerator, copier, etc. Avoid
using extension cords.
4. DO NOT plug the AC power cord from the Extended Battery Module into a UPS.
5. To prevent risk of electric shock, it is necessary to plug the Extended Battery Module into
a grounded receptacle before connecting to the UPS, or turn the UPS off first, connect the
Extended Battery Module as above steps and then turn the UPS on.
