select SmartOnline™ 3-Phase UPS Systems.** Multiple SUBF2030 models can be daisy-chained to further increase runtime. The SUBF2030 accepts up to four internal
battery packs (which are shipped with complete cabling and fuses).

Important Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! This owner's manual contains important instructions and warnings that must be followed during the installation and operation of the
SUBF2030 Battery Module Compartment. The owner's manuals included with compatible products (UPS systems and internal battery packs) include additional safety
instructions that must be followed during installation and operation. Failure to heed these instructions may cause permanent damage to the UPS system (voiding its
warranty) and create a potential for serious personal injury or death from lethal high voltage.

• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems or Battery Module Compartments in life support applications in which a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System or 

Battery Module Compartment could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of a life support device.

• Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is connected. Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. During any 

service work, the UPS should be turned off or put into manual bypass.

• Do not connect or disconnect the battery modules while the UPS is operating from the battery supply or when the unit is not in bypass mode.

• Do not stack anything on the battery module compartment. Failure to follow this warning will cause permanent damage to the battery module compartment and create a 

potential for serious personal injury.

• The battery module compartment's caster wheels are only designed for slight position adjustments within the final installation area; they are not designed for moving the 

unit over considerable distances. The wheels are not designed to provide long-term support for the battery module compartment after final installation. Mounting bracket 
installation is required. See Installation section.

• The battery module compartment is heavy. Use assistants as needed. Remove internal batteries before adding or removing battery module compartments.

Installation

Place the UPS system in Bypass Mode or completely turn it off, depending on
preference. See UPS system owner's manual for instructions.

1

Position the battery module compartment next to the UPS system (or next to
another battery module compartment in a daisy-chain connection). Make sure
that the included cable can reach.

Using the included bolts, install one mounting bracket on each side of the
battery module compartment, as shown. If desired, install the bracket to the
floor surface with user-supplied hardware. If the mounting brackets are not
attached to the floor, ensure the rear caster wheels are locked to prevent the
SUBF2030 from rolling and causing a potential hazard.
