SYSTEM OVERVIEW
These Battery Packs will extend the runtime capabilities of the UPS. These
Battery Packs do not have internal chargers and are charged by the UPS to
properly maintain the batteries. There is no maximum number for Daisy Chain-
ing the Battery Packs, however the recharge time will increase exponentially
for each Battery Pack added.
NOTE:
If you are using more than one of
these Battery Packs with the Endeavor 5-10KVA RT series UPS, the UPS must
be configured so that the UPS will report the correct estimated runtime on the
LCD screen and in the Power Monitoring software and/or the SNMP card.
See the Power Monitoring software or the SNMP card’s User's Manual to
configure the UPS.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
These Battery Packs do not have internal chargers. The Battery Packs are
charged by the UPS. It is recommended that the Battery Packs be charged
for a minimum of 4-hours before use. The Battery Pack maybe used immedi-
ately, however, the “On-Battery” runtime of the UPS may be less than normally
expected.
NOTE:
If the Battery Pack is going to be out of service or stored
for a prolonged period of time, the batteries must be recharged for at least 24-
hours every ninety days.
TURNING THE BATTERY PACK ON/OFF
Turning on the DC circuit breaker on the rear panel of the Battery Pack will
connect the DC bus voltage from the Battery Pack to the UPS. Turning off the
DC circuit breaker on the rear panel of the Battery Pack will disconnect the
DC bus voltage from the Battery Pack to the UPS.
(QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY)
Replace the batteries and/or Battery Pack with the same number and type as
originally installed.
CAUTION:
Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful
to the skin and eyes and may be toxic.
CAUTION:
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
The batteries in these Battery Pack are recyclable. Dispose of the batteries
properly. The batteries contain lead and pose a hazard to the environment
and human health if not disposed of properly. Refer to local codes for proper
disposal requirements or return the battery to the supplier.
CAUTION:
The battery can present a risk of electrical shock. These batter-
ies produce sufficient current to burn wire or tools very rapidly, producing
molten metal. Observe these precautions when installing or replacing the
batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use hand tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear protective eye gear (goggles), rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or other metal parts on top of batteries.
5. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting the
battery terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If the battery is, rem-
ove the source of the grounding. Contact with any part of a grounded ba-
ttery can result in an electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be
reduced, if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.
Please read all of the
WARNINGS
and
CAUTIONS
before attempting to con-
nect or service the batteries or the Battery Pack.
The installation and servic-
ing of the batteries and the Battery Pack must be performed by
Qualified
Service Personnel ONLY
. Typical battery life is 3 to 5 years. Environmental
factors do affect battery life. High temperatures, poor utility power, and fre-
quent, short duration discharges have a negative impact on battery life.
NOTE:
If there is a power interruption while replacing the batteries, with the UPS on,
the load will not be backed up.
WARNING!
This Battery Pack contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do
not attempt to disassemble the Battery Pack beyond the battery replacement
procedure. These Battery Packs contain no user serviceable parts.
Chapter 5: Replacing The Battery
CAUTION:
Replace the batteries with the same number and type as originally
installed in the Battery Pack. These batteries have pressure operated vents.
These Battery Packs contain sealed non-spillable maintenance free lead acid
batteries.
