1. Introduction Tripp Lite’s Extended-Run Single-Phase Battery Cabinets connect to SmartOnline 3-Phase UPS Systems to provide long-lasting battery backup for data centers, telecommunications, networks, industrial facilities, security, emergency systems and other mission- critical applications that require high capacity, high availability and extended runtime.
2. Important Safety Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS All sections of this manual contain instructions and warnings that must be followed during the installation and operation of the battery cabinet described in this manual. Read ALL instructions thoroughly before attempting to move, install or connect your battery cabinet.

Allow batteries to charge uninterrupted for 24 hours after installation. • Do not attempt to service the integrated battery charger (included with “C” models only). Contact Tripp Lite if service is required. These symbols may appear on the product label: Refer to the product label for model numbers, voltage ratings and other important information.
If the battery cabinet includes an integrated battery charger (“C” models only), examine the wires at the DC output terminal closely. If any of the leads are bent or otherwise damaged from shipping, contact Tripp Lite. Damaged leads could cause a battery short circuit.
3. Battery Cabinet Installation 3.4 Internal Wiring (Typical) • Battery cabinets use multiple 12 VDC batteries connected in series to provide nominal DC voltages ranging from 192 VDC to 240 VDC. • Internal cabling is sized for specific application load currents. The insulated cables can be 2 AWG, 4 AWG, 2/0 AWG, 4/0 AWG or dual 2/0 AWG.
3. Battery Cabinet Installation 3.7 Electrical Connection DANGER! LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the warnings in this manual and all applicable electrical and safety codes. Incorrect wiring may cause serious personal injury and property damage.
3. Battery Cabinet Installation 3.10 Daisy-Chaining Multiple Battery Cabinets Additional battery strings can be daisy-chained to the UPS internal battery system via a unique connector inside the UPS battery compartment (Figure 3.10a). Battery Connection A 15-ft. BP240EXTNDR15DL cable is required to connect the first battery cabinet to the UPS system (Figure 3.10b). Cabling for all additional built-to-order cabinet installations is the sole responsibility of the electrician performing the installation.
4. Operation and Charging 4.1 Determine Charging Voltages To determine the appropriate equalization (freshening) charge voltage and float charge voltage, multiply the number of batteries connected in series in the battery cabinet by the recommended charging voltage per unit. For example: A +/- 240 VDC cabinet containing 40 each of the UPS12-400MR batteries in series would use the following charging voltages: Freshening/Equalization Charge Voltage = 20 x 14.4 VDC/unit average= +/- 288 VDC Float Charge Voltage = 20 x (13.5 to 13.8 VDC/unit average) = +/- 270 to 276 VDC...
5. Maintenance The battery cabinet contains valve-regulated recombinant lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, which are maintenance-free relative to the electrolyte. You cannot add water to these batteries or sample the electrolyte specific gravity. It is necessary, however, to periodically check the charging voltage, temperature and connections of the individual battery units. 5.1 Maintenance Schedule Quarterly Check Measure individual battery unit temperature.
6. Diagrams ( continued ) 6.3 Integrated Battery Charger (Select Models) Notes: • All dimensions are in inches. • AC input is preset with fuses for 120V 30 A, but can be rewired for 208 and 240 VAC, 60 Hz by a qualified electrician. •...
