Connecting Additional External Batteries (5/6 Kva Models) - GE GT Series User Manual

3.3.5

Connecting additional external batteries (5/6 kVA models)

The additional external battery pack connects to the UPS in the same way whether the UPS is being
used in tower or rack mount format. When used in tower format, the UPS and additional battery packs
can be mounted together in one set of mounting support stands (fig.3.3.5.a). Additional support stands
are shipped with battery cabinet.
Connect the cable provided with the battery between UPS and battery pack – plug it into the UPS
battery socket and the nearest battery connection socket on the battery pack (fig.3.3.5.b). At first start
up the value of the total battery capacity has to be set with the UPS Monitoring software.

NOTE
If further battery packs are used, they connect via the previous battery pack. Thus,
the cable provided is attached via the nearest socket connection on the existing
battery cabinet (fig. 3.3.5.c).
NOTE
When the UPS is connected to the mains, and the battery pack is connected to
the UPS, the batteries start charging. For best results, allow the UPS to recharge
the batteries during a period of approx. 8 hours. It is acceptable to use the UPS
without first charging the battery, but the runtime may be reduced.
