Maintenance - Tripp Lite BP192V12RT3US Owner's Manual

Connection
Connecting Battery Detection Ports
Each BP192V12RT3US battery pack contains a set of battery
detection ports on the rear panel. The UPS will automatically detect
the external battery pack(s) upon connection with the battery
communication cable(s).
Notes:
• The incoming battery detection port is always located on top and the
outgoing battery detection port is always located on the bottom.
• It may take up to 5 minutes for the UPS to detect the connection of the
attached battery pack.

Maintenance

UPS Internal Batteries and External Battery packs require minimal maintenance. UPS Internal Batteries and External Battery
packs should be kept dry at all times. Avoid installation in locations with high heat and/or humidity. The UPS system's
internal batteries and external battery packs should be kept fully charged by being connected to an active compatible UPS
system, not left in a depleted condition. Batteries left in a discharged state will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
Troubleshooting
There are fuse arrays inside the UPS internal battery system and external battery packs. If a heavy overload or short circuit is
encountered, a fuse will open (blow). An internal battery system or external battery pack with blown fuses will deliver no
output voltage at any load. A qualified technician must replace the fuses. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for additional
information.
Storage
UPS System: First, turn off your UPS by pressing the "OFF" switch to enter Bypass or Standby mode. Disconnect the power
cord from the wall outlet or shut off UPS mains circuit breaker. Then, disconnect all equipment to avoid battery drain. If you
plan on storing your UPS for an extended period of time, fully recharge the UPS batteries once every three months by
plugging the UPS into a live AC circuit or outlet and letting the UPS charge for 4-6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries
discharged for an extended period, they may suffer permanent loss of capacity.
External Battery Pack: Disconnect your battery pack's power cable before storing. If you plan to store your battery pack for
an extended period, fully recharge its batteries every three months by connecting it to a UPS that is connected to AC input
for at least 12 hours.
