SECTION 1 The FirstLine PL Extended Run Time Battery Cabinet for 30kVA are used in conjunction with the FirstLine PL/PLT 30 KVA uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to prevent loss of valuable electronic information and minimize equipment downtime. During brownouts, blackouts, and other power interruptions, batteries provide emergency power to safeguard operation.
This manual covers battery cabinets with the following part numbers: FLP-BAT-030-150-2-B-30K: battery cabinet fused at 90A (suitable for 30 KVA), 2 battery string matched to 208V UPS (204 cell system), with breakers. FLP-BAT-030-150-2-N-30K: battery cabinet fused at 90A (suitable for 30 KVA), 2 battery string matched to 208V UPS (204 cell system), without breakers.

CAUTION Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit current. Observe proper precautions. Servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel knowledgeable of batteries and required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries. Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. Replace with same type and rating only.
BATTERY LIFE The batteries in your Staco UPS system were shipped from the factory fully charged. If you plan to place the batteries in storage for any period of time prior to installation and startup then the following precaution should be followed. Batteries placed in storage will age.
The approximate weights are shown in the following table. Table 2 - Model Floor Loadings STANDARD MODEL FLOOR LOADING Model Maximum Weight Point Loading FLP-BAT-080-150-2-B-30K 3148 Lbs (1428 kg) 27.4 lb/in (1.9 kg/cm FLP-BAT-080-150-2-N-30K 3132 Lbs (1421 kg) 27.3 lb/in2 (1.9 kg/cm2)
UNLOADING THE CABINET(S) The following tools are required for unloading the cabinet(s): Wrenches for 3/8” lag bolts. Forklift or pallet jack Phillips screwdriver CAUTION The Battery cabinets are heavy (see Table 2). Unloading the cabinets requires at least two people to safely remove the cabinets from the pallet.
Carefully move the cabinet to the desired location and slowly lower the cabinet to the floor or other appropriate flat surface. Bolt to the floor if desired. With a Phillips screwdriver mount the four kick panels that were wrapped and placed in the cabinet.

9. Conduit landing plates are located toward the rear of the cabinet on the top cover, side panels, and base to accommodate bottom wire entry to the cabinet (see Figure 1). Remove plates and drill or punch hole to fit conduit bushing with Greenlee punch or similar device.
CONNECTING TO THE FIRSTLINE PL BATTERY CABINET To be performed by authorized service personnel: Inspect battery trays for signs of damage. Verify that all terminal connections are sound. The red and black “powerpole” connectors will be connected, but the blue and white connectors on the wires joining the trays in the string should not be connected.

The battery cabinet(s) to be installed must include the at least one –B version. The first –B cabinet must have its input terminal block (TB1) wired directly to the UPS. To wire additional battery cabinets, wire from TB2 of the first battery cabinet to TB1 of the second –B battery cabinet.
After the internal batteries in the UPS are connected, reinstall any panels that were removed and close the UPS doors. Refer to the UPS manual for guidance regarding this procedure. Do not close the Battery Cabinet circuit breakers until the display of the UPS shows the message: “Close Battery Switch”. Closing the breakers before this may damage the UPS or blow fuses in the Battery Cabinet.
SECTION 5 CIRCUIT BREAKER INTERFACE NOTE: Disregard this section if tripping the battery cabinet breakers via REPO activation is not required. Figure 5 shows the location of the Battery Breaker Interface terminal block on the battery cabinet. NOTE: Wires to the Battery Breaker Interface terminal block TB4 must not enter the UPS or battery cabinet through the same port as the input/output or battery power wires.
SECTION 6 BATTERY REMOVAL, INSTALLATION, AND SERVICE The batteries must only be serviced by authorized service personnel. Always wear eye protection and have eye wash near at hand. Never work on any connections that have not been disconnected from all other sources of voltage. Parallel connected battery cabinets require that all battery strings in all battery cabinets be disconnected before working within any particular cabinet.
If batteries are being replaced, only use the same manufacturer and battery type and rating as the battery removed. When the bus bars connecting the batteries are removed, be careful to avoid dropping bolts or shifting the bus bars so that they might short across adjacent battery terminals.
Spare kits are available for the FirstLine PL Extended Run Time Battery Cabinet series, please contact Staco Energy Products Co. service center for details. For maximum availability of the UPS, the batteries should be replaced as part of a comprehensive preventive maintenance program.

Exposure to temperatures in excess of 90°F (32°C) should be limited to no more than 30 days per year. Under no circumstances should the battery be exposed to temperatures over 104° F (40° C) which can lead to thermal runaway, a condition that damages the battery.
