Notice: To limit drift in SOC with extended storage, the batteries must not be stored more than six months without recharging. If attached to a UPS that remains de-energized for a long period ZincFive recommends you energize the UPS system every six months for a 12 hour period in order to recharge the batteries.
Si relié à une ASI qui reste inerte pendant une période prolongée, ZincFive vous recommande d'alimenter l'ASI tous les six mois pendant une période de 12 heures afin de recharger les batteries.
The ZincFive BC Series UPS Battery Cabinet is comprised of ZincFive’s Nickel-Zinc Batteries integrated into a battery cabinet with built in Battery Monitoring System. The ZincFive BC Series UPS Battery Cabinet can house up to 39 batteries to support various UPS runtimes and voltage requirements. This manual covers the 37 to 39 battery solutions.
Setup a. All cables should be attached to the cabinet: DC Power and AC Power. Also UVR/Shunt and Aux contacts to the UPS if needed. • The 120Vac feed to the cabinet must be always available (from UPS, backed up—100W backup recommended).
Power Sequencing a. Power up the system by turning ON the 120Vac to the UPS Battery Cabinet. Make sure the BMS ON/OFF switch on inside of cabinet door is turned ON. • Allow 1 minute for the BMS to initialize. b.
4. Verify that the "Connected Status" is On c. The system will start operations from the Service State. d. Once the circuit breaker is closed the system will enter a Standby, Charge, or Discharge State. Operation Charging To ready the cabinet to attempt charging the batteries, the follow steps should be followed: a.
Discharging a. The discharge can start if the system is in a Standby State or Charge State. b. If current draw is between -2Amp to -800Amp the system will enter a Discharge State. c. Discharge will end upon any of these conditions: •...
Battery Management System The BMS consists of a main processing Unit (M800) and several Secondary Processing Units (S48). • The M800 is the master control module for performing real-time monitoring of the ZincFive Nickel-Zinc batteries. • The S48 is a secondary module which has direct connections to the batteries monitoring voltage, temperature State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH) •...

Troubleshooting Critical Alarms: • Battery Pack Overvoltage - BMS failure to stop during normal charging sequence. Call Service Technician for BMS evaluation. • Battery Pack Undervoltage – On discharge the breaker will open when reaching the operational limits. Critical Alarm level will only be reached if multiple battery failures occur. Call Service technician for evaluation and replacement of bad batteries.
Maintenance Instructions ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL CAN PERFORM MAINTENANCE. a. Ensure that the battery string circuit breaker is open before performing any maintenance action that creates the potential for making contact with any battery or exposed conductive components. b. Perform visual inspection of battery trays, batteries and visible cabling to ensure that all components are clean and don’t exhibit any indications of heat, breakage, or chaffing of any wire or cable.
APPENDIX Current Sensor Calibration ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL CAN PERFORM MAINTENANCE. The current Sensor calibration is done in the factory prior to shipment of the battery cabinet. This step should NOT need to be done unless BMS components are replace, settings are lost, or when tested the system calibration is off by more than 10%.
