2.4 Installing and Connecting the Batteries
TB3 (KAPS-24) - Secondary power source
– 24 VDC from batteries installed in the appropriate
enclosure. Secondary (battery) power is required to support the system during loss of primary
power.
Certain system designs may require connecting two or four batteries to the power supply,
connecting multiple power supplies to each other, or connecting one set of batteries to multiple
power supplies. Always use wire size 10-14 AWG. (5.26 mm.
2
– 2.08 mm.
2
), and install the power
supply and the batteries in the appropriate enclosures, as described in Section 2.1.
Use PK-PPS to select the appropriate battery charger current for the system’s battery capacity. See
page 31 and pages 49–50 for more information.
2.4.1 Setting the Charger
The ACPS-610 battery charger will charge 12 to 200 AH lead-acid batteries. Use PK-PPS to select
the appropriate battery charger current for the system’s battery capacity from three settings:
2 A
,
5
A
, or
D
ISABLE
C
HARGER
. Select
2 A
to charge 12 to 55 AH batteries. Set the charger to
5 A
when the
power supply will be charging a system that requires 56 to 200 AH. Select
D
ISABLE
C
HARGER
when
the power supply will be set for continuous output or when the batteries will be charged by an
external charger (See page 23). See Section 3.2, “Programming the ACPS-610” for more
information on programming via PK-PPS. Refer to Section 5.2, “Calculating the Battery
Requirements”, on page 49 for more information on determining your system’s battery capacity.
2.4.2 Connecting the Power Supply to Two Batteries:
1.
Use PK-PPS to set the charger to the appropriate current for the system’s battery capacity.
2.
Connect one cable from TB3 (
BATT
IN
+) on the power supply to the positive (+) terminal of
one battery.
!
WARNING: Risk of severe burns!
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes, and can
destroy fabrics. If contact is made with sulfuric acid, immediately flush skin or eyes with water for
15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
!
WARNING: Risk of equipment damage!
Do not connect the battery interconnect cables, included, (P/N 75560, 75561, or 71070) at this time.
Leave the battery interconnect cables disconnected until after initial system power-up.
!
WARNING: Risk of equipment damage!
To avoid contact with metal cabinet, always install terminal bolts towards the center of the battery. See
Figure 2.10.
