There is a risk of electrical shock. This section explains how to install system batteries, fuses, and cables. For all models, you must install the batteries in the system cabinet.
  • Page 19 A qualified electrician familiar with battery systems and required precautions must install and service the batteries. Any battery used with this unit shall comply with the applicable requirements for batteries in the standard for emergency lighting and power equipment, UL 924 (Canada’s National Building Code). Cabinets are design to be used with, and batteries must be replaced with, manufacturer battery number BAT- CG12105X, BAT-CG12150X OR BAT-CG12180X, see the battery wiring diagram that came with the battery cables.
  • Page 20 Before Installing the Batteries Tools CAUTION Always use insulated tools when you work with batteries. Always torque connections to the manufacturer’s recommendations. When you work with system batteries, you need the following tools. The tools must be insulated so they do not short battery terminals to the cabinet. Wear the safety equipment required by local code whenever the doors are open and whenever you are working on batteries.
  • Page 21 Location The system batteries belong inside the unit. Before you start installing the batteries, you must install the system in its permanent location. If you have not already done this, see “Location Guidelines” on page 9 to choose a location. CAUTION To prevent damage to your equipment, do not move the system after the batteries are installed.
  • Page 22 NOTE: For standard 90-minute runtimes, 1.75 kW, 2.5 kW, 3.75 kW, 5.0 kW, 6.25 kW, 7.5 kW, 10.0kW, 12.5kW, and 16.7kW models have one battery string. 2. Clean the cable connectors with the wire brush before you make the battery connections.
  • Page 23 Use the Same Quantity and Type of Battery CAUTION You must use the same quantity and type of battery. Substituting batteries not supplied by manufacturer voids the UL (CUL) listing and may cause equipment damage. To ensure continued superior performance of your system and to maintain proper charger operation, you must replace the batteries in the system with the same number of batteries.
  • Page 24 CHAPTER 7 URNING ON THE YSTEM AND ETTING ARAMETERS Several parameters in the system software determine when and how your system conducts the automatic monthly and annual tests. Refer to “User Setup” in the “Front Panel Display” chapter of the system user’s Guide for a description of each test. Starting the Unit Before you can set the parameters, you must start the system.

    SECTION 5 Connecting to the BB2-6010 Web Server the First Time To be able to do things like change the IP address, change the SNMP ‘community’ code, or set up SNMP traps, you will first need to connect to the BB2-6010’s web server.

  • Page 78: Setting Up Ip Address And Lan Settings

    Setting Up IP Address and LAN Settings Click on the “System” tab. You will be presented with a ‘Sign in’ popup prompt. Type “root” for Username, and “buster” for Password. Now navigate to “System Setup” >> “Setup” >> “Network”. The page should look like this: Enter the IP Address that you desire your BB2-6010 to have, and the Subnet Mask and Gateway address for the LAN that the BB2-6010 will be on.

  • Page 79: Setting Up Modbus Tcp

    When done, click the “Change IP” button to save your changes. Wait at least 15 seconds until the settings are changed and the webpage reloads. Now cycle power to your BB2-6010 by pulling out and then re-inserting the “MODBUS RTU and Power In” connector. At this point, if you wish you may disconnect the direct ethernet connection between your PC and the BB2-6010 and put it on the LAN and connect to it through the LAN via its new IP address setting.
  • Page 80 The first step in programming a trap is to program a ‘Threshold’ rule (a rule that when true, will send a trap). To program a ‘Threshold’ rule, first navigate to the following web page: “System” >> “Action Rules” >> “Thresholds” . Initially, there is just one threshold rule, and it is blank.
  • Page 81 Once you have programmed all your desired rules, the next step is to make them generate traps. The BB2-6010 lets you send traps to up to three different groups of “Trap Receivers” (in case you want some traps to go to one destination, and other traps to go to another).

    TERMINAL SETTINGS Baud Rate: 19,200 Data Bits: Parity: None Stop Bits: Flow Control: None Character Set: ANSI The Illuminator Supernova RS-232 protocol uses carriage returns (‘\r’, ANSI code 0x0D), but does not use line feeds (‘\n’, ANSI code 0x0A). If you are manually typing commands, some terminal emulator software will automatically feed the line back when you press enter (and a carriage return is sent) and when the inverter responds (with a response string followed by a carriage return).

    If a battery is in a thermal runaway condition there are four indications that will result. The four conditions will remain in a latched state until the reset button is depressed for a few seconds and then released. 1) The summary alarm contact will be activated. 2) The audible summary alarm will be activated on the temperature sensor pcb with the battery that is in a thermal runaway condition.
