Installation - Tripp Lite BP-260 Owner's Manual

Important Safety Warnings
• Do not connect or disconnect the external battery enclosures while the Inverter/Charger
System is operating from the battery supply or when the unit is not in off mode.
• The external battery enclosure with internal battery modules will be heavy. Use
assistants as needed.

Installation

1 Make sure the Inverter/Charger system is in OFF Mode. See the Inverter/Charger
system Owner's Manual for instructions.
2
Position the battery enclosure next to the Inverter/Charger system (or on top of
another BP-260 battery enclosure in a daisy-chain connection).
3 Remove the top access panel screws, then lift the access panel from the enclosure.
4 Pop out the protective cable inserts from the housing and feed the positive and
negative cables through the housing. Ensure the cables can reach the internal
battery configuration required for your 12V or 24V inverter/charger system (see
Wiring Diagrams section for 12V or 24V DC system configurations). Place the
inserts back onto each cable and snap them into access holes.
5 Add one or two Tripp Lite 98-121 internal batteries (sold separately) or group 24
deep-cycle batteries for either a 12V or 24V DC Inverter/Charger system. Ensure the
battery terminals are covered before proceeding to make the connections.
6
Remove any battery terminal covers and wire battery system in the manner to
support your Inverter/Charger DC system voltage. Once properly wired, place the
red positive (+) protective insert(s) over the positive connections of the battery (see
Wiring Diagrams section for 12V or 24V DC system configurations). Verify with a
voltmeter that correct DC system voltage is present.
7
Reattach the top access panel and secure it using the screws removed in step 3.
8
Splice the positive DC cabling and add the required DC fusing accessory (user-
provided) for your inverter. Make sure the DC fusing accessory is located between
the battery enclosure positive DC cable and the positive cable that will connect to
the inverter/charger system.
Note: At this time, place the 12V sticker over the 24V callout on the battery enclosure label to
denote that it is a 12V DC system (if configured as such).
9 Connect the positive and negative DC cables to your inverter/charger DC input
connections, based on the instructions in the inverter/charger system's Owner's
Manual.
10 Return the Inverter/Charger system to AC or Auto Modes to turn ON.
