Introduction

Important Safety Instructions

Tripp Lite BP Series External Battery Packs are designed for use with various Tripp Lite

UPS systems equipped with external battery pack connectors.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! The mounting shelves are not intended to support more than

one battery pack. Do not stack multiple battery packs on a single set of

mounting shelves. Failure to follow this warning may lead to product

damage and/or risk of personal bodily harm.

• Use caution when lifting battery packs. Because of the considerable weight of

all battery packs, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing

them.

• Make certain the battery packs and UPS use the same DC voltage before

connecting them.

• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this

equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support

equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not

recommended.

• Suggested mounting procedures are for common rack types and may not be

appropriate for all rack configurations. User must determine the fitness of rack and

wall-mount hardware and procedures before mounting.

• When connecting multiple battery packs to a single UPS, the battery packs should be

approximately the same age.

• It is normal for sparks to occur when connecting external batteries.

• Do not unplug external batteries from the UPS while the UPS is operating on battery

power, due to the possibility of dangerous arcing.

• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit

current. Observe proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not

open the UPS or batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any

object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools

with insulated handles. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. Battery

replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the

same number and type of batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). The batteries are

recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements or visit

http://www.tripplite.com/support/recycling-program for recycling information. Tripp Lite

offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.).

Visit Tripp Lite on the Web at http://www.tripplite.com/products/battery-finder/ to locate

the specific replacement battery for your UPS.

Mounting (4-Post Rack)

Mount your battery pack in a 4-post or 2-post rack or rack enclosure, or in an upright

tower position. The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before

mounting. If hardware and procedures are not suitable for your application, contact the

manufacturer of your rack or rack enclosure. The procedures described in this manual

are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all

applications.

4-Post Mounting

Most external battery packs include the hardware required for 4-post mounting. If this

hardware did not come with your unit, an Adjustable 4-Post Rack-mount Shelf Kit

(models: 4POSTRAILKIT or 4POSTRAILKITHD) may be ordered separately.

1The included plastic pegs Awill temporarily support the empty rack-mount shelves

Bwhile you install the permanent mounting hardware. Insert a peg near the center

of the front and rear bracket of each shelf as shown. (Each front bracket has

six holes and each rear bracket has three holes.) The pegs will snap into place.

After installing the pegs, expand each shelf to match the depth of your rack rails.

The pegs will fit through the square holes in the rack rails to support the shelves.

Refer to the rack unit labels to confirm the shelves are level in all directions.

Note: The support ledge of each shelf must face inward.

1Select battery packs have a polarized plug A

on an output cord permanently connected to

the rear panel. Simply plug the output cord

directly into the UPS external battery

connector (refer to the UPS manual for

external battery connector description and

location).

Note: Only one of these battery packs is generally

connected to a UPS at one time. For longer

runtime, use one or more Tripp Lite Battery Packs

with daisy-chain capability.

2Select battery packs feature daisy-chain

capability for longer runtime B. To connect

multiple battery packs to a single UPS for

increased runtime, connect the cabled output

connector of the first battery pack to the UPS

system’s external battery connector, then

“daisy-chain” the others: Cconnect the

corded output connector on the second

battery pack to the daisy-chain input

connector on the second pack, and so on.

(Refer to your UPS Owner’s Manual for

external battery connection description and

location.)

Connection

Note: Multiple battery pack arrays will provide longer runtimes, but will also require longer

recharge times.

3Select battery packs contain an external battery detection port on the rear panel.

The battery packs should only be used with host UPS models that provide the same

functionality. The UPS will automatically detect the external battery upon connection

with the battery communication cable D. Check the UPS manual for compatible

external battery pack models, configuration requirements and potential limitations.

Battery packs are for use only with UPS systems supporting external battery pack

detection cabling (this connection is not required if the UPS does not support this

feature).

Maintenance

Battery packs require no maintenance but should be kept dry at all times. Avoid

installation in locations with high heat and/or humidity. The battery packs should be kept

fully charged by being connected to an active UPS system, not left in a depleted

condition. Batteries left in a discharged state will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Troubleshooting

There is a fuse array inside the battery packs. If a heavy overload or short circuit is

encountered, a fuse will open (blow). A battery pack with a blown fuse will deliver no

output voltage at any load. A qualified technician must replace the fuses. Contact Tripp

Lite Customer Support for additional information.

Storage

Disconnect your battery pack’s power cable before storing. If you plan to store your

battery pack for an extended period of time, fully recharge its batteries every three

months by connecting it to a UPS that is connected to AC input for at least 12 hours.
