PART 4. CONNECTING EXTERNAL BATTERIES
This section describes how to connect external batteries to the OfficeServ 7200-S system.
4.1 CONNECTING EXTERNAL BATTERIES
CAUTIONS FOR CONNECTING EXTERNAL BATTERIES
External batteries are required to maintain stable operation of the OfficeServ 7200-S system in
case a power failure occurs. Rated capacity of an external battery is DC 48V and 45AH per
cabinet. Batteries should be connected to each cabinet to guarantee safety. A fuse (125VAC,
5Amp) should be positioned between the output terminal of the battery and the cabinet.
Cautions for connecting external batteries
Do not connect external AC power to the system before completing the connection
between batteries and the system. If so, it may cause electric shock Check the
specified polarity (+ or -) to connect external batteries.
To reduce risk of fire and injury to persons, use only a sealed nickel cadmium or lead-
acid battery supply capable of handling a charge current of 0.45A, a charge voltage
of —56VDC and a discharge rate of 45Ah.
The power supply provides -56VDC at 0.4 amperes charging current (i.e. when AC power is
present) which allows for float charging from OfficeServ 7200-S to emergency backup
batteries. The OfficeServ 7200-S can also run without AC power on a -48VDC battery system
or rectifier. There should be no more than a 0.5VDC drop in voltage from the OfficeServ
7200-S and the batteries. Ensure polarity prior to connecting the external -48VDC power
source to the system.
The OfficeServ 7200-S power supplies contain a monitoring circuit to switch the system to
customer provided 48VDC batteries when AC power in interrupted. Calls in progress are not
disconnected. The power supply circuitry monitors and recharges batteries as needed.
Connect four 12V batteries or eight 6V batteries in series. Any NICAD or lead acid (car or
motorcycle type) battery can be used if its rating is not less than 6AH (amp hours) but no
more than 40AH per power supply. The batteries must be located within three feet of the
KSU. Use the factory-supplied wire harness with 36” white and black leads to connect
batteries.
