Page 5: 1-Introduction
Q-LS (Standard) Battery Cabinets Q-LS-ST (Sliding-out locking Tray) Battery Cabinets The quantity and individual specifications of attached Q-LS Battery Modules determine the amount of battery backup time that a Q-LS system can provide. The battery cabinet modules are available in both standard and sliding-tray configurations. Their dimensions are designed to match the dimensions of the Q-LS cabinet(s) that they accompany. -

The battery cabinet has (1) Battery Breaker. Due to the weight of the larger batteries, the breaker and terminal blocks are located at the top front of the system. Available options for this module include: •... -
Page 9: Using This Manual
The entire power quality system will be referred to as an Uninterruptible Power Quality (or UPQ) system, a Q-LS or a Q-LS system. These terms do not refer to one cabinet or set of cabinets. They refer to the system and everything that supplies power to it, including the battery cabinets, the cabinet that controls the system, and any other cables or external controls. -
Page 10: Safety Warnings And Cautionary Statements
Maintenance, Safe Transport and Storage, and Operation and Batteries. 1.4.1—Manual Use Read this manual carefully before operating or troubleshooting the Q-LS and follow all operating instructions. Failure to do so may cause physical harm. Obey all warnings within this manual. Failure to do so may void the system warranty. - Page 11 If the Q-LS system will be stored for long periods of time, the battery (batteries) should be charged by the Q-LS once every 90 days to maintain optimal battery life or placed on Battery Keepers (available from Power Innovations) and connected to utility power.

2—Battery Parts (Q-LS-ST) 2.1—Controlling the Battery Sliding Battery Tray: The Sliding Tray Battery houses and protects individual batteries. Prior to sliding-out each of the trays, the screws securing it to the cabinet need to be removed and the yellow locking lever push down. To close, the reverse steps are required. -

(Q-LSC/D-ST) or the right-side panel (Q-LSA/B-ST) of the cabinet. The terminal block is used to connect the external battery module to the Q-LS cabinet and to the optional battery charger. Note: The terminal block for the Q-LSE-ST battery cabinet is located above the right-hand set of battery drawers within the system. -
Page 15: Figure 6-From Left To Right: Breaker, Terminal Block, Ground Bus Bar, And Sample Terminal Block Configuration
Ground Bus Bar: The ground bus bar allows the cabinet or module to be grounded, helping to prevent electric shock. Before using the Q-LS Battery Module, ensure that the module is properly grounded using this bus bar. The negative battery terminal should not be grounded. For more information about battery grounding, see 5.1.2—Grounding. -

(25 °C). If storing a battery module that is not connected to a live Q-LS system for more than 90 days (three months), the batteries should be charged using the Battery Keeper to... -
Page 17: 3-Installation
3—Installation 3.1—Unpacking the System The Q-LS Battery Module is packed in a specially designed carton to protect it from damage during shipping. To transport or ship cabinets, use the original packaging. When unpacking the battery, carefully remove all packaging materials from the module and ensure that all items are received with the cabinets. - Page 18 This page intentionally left blank.

Page 19: 4-Preparing The Site
Verify and approve the facility’s wiring. • Complete any necessary wiring preparations. • Ensure that wiring to the battery and Q-LS complies with all local electrical codes. • Install breakers to protect feed and output lines of the Q-LS. •... -
Page 20: Table 1-Cabinet Weights In Pounds And Kilograms
Personnel who operate the cabinets should be proficient in normal and emergency operational procedures. • Before operating the batteries or Q-LS, new personnel should be trained in their operation. • The cabinet doors have locks, which can be used to prevent access if the cabinets are placed in a ready access area. -
Page 21: Figure 8-Single-Wide Cabinet Dimensions And Clearances
4.1.4—Space and Ventilation The Q-LS Battery Module should be placed in an environmentally controlled environment (see Section 4.2). Measure the desired location of the system to ensure that all space requirements can be met (see Figure 8 and Figure 9). -
Page 22: Figure 9-Double-Wide Cabinet Dimensions And Clearances
Figure 9—Double-wide Cabinet Dimensions and Clearances Caution Do not put objects directly on top of the cabinet. -
Page 23: Environmental Conditions
The system can operate normally in other environments. Consider the following factors, however: • The standard batteries have a temperature range from -15 °C (5 °F) to 40 °C (104 °F), so the Q-LS system can operate normally in environments where the temperature is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F). - Page 24 This page intentionally left blank.

Page 25: 5-Mounting And Making Connections
5—Mounting and Making Connections 5.1—Placing and Mounting Using a pallet jack or forklift, move all cabinets near the locations where they will be mounted (recommended) and operated. WARNING Not mounting battery cabinets could cause injury from tipping or falling. Injury is especially likely to result if battery cabinets become unbalanced. -
Page 26: Figure 10-Cabinet Drilling Locations
Find the pallet-attaching brackets and bolts that came attached to the pallets. They will be used for cabinet mounting. If the cabinet to be mounted is a single-wide, skip Step 2. If the cabinet received was a double-wide, check the bracket drilling location on the bottom of the cabinet before drilling mounting holes. -
Page 27: Figure 12-Grounding The Q-Ls And Battery
Figure 12—Grounding the Q-LS and Battery ELECTRICAL WARNING While making grounding connections, check that the terminal block, chassis, and battery have been correctly grounded to the bus bar on the Q-LS. An incorrect grounding connection could cause severe injury due to electric shock. Note Although more or fewer grounding connections may need to be checked, connections noted in Figure 13 are some of the most common. -
Page 28: Connecting Batteries
5.2—Connecting Batteries Open the front door of the Q-LS Battery cabinet. (X stands any of the cabinet options: A, B, C, D or E) Unscrew the four screws and remove the battery disconnect panel from the bottom of the Q-LS battery cabinet. -
Page 29: 6-Operation
6—Operation 6.1—Prestart Recheck After the Q-LS Battery Module cables have been connected to the Q-LS, the batteries are ready to operate. Before turning ON any switches or breakers, recheck the following items: • All breakers should be OFF. • Battery fuses should be open (for internal batteries only) •... - Page 30 Turn OFF the Q-LS inverter by pushing the right and middle INVERTER buttons OFF simultaneously. The load will automatically transfer to reserve without any interruption to the output. Turn OFF the Q-LS BATTERY breaker to disconnect the batteries. They will no longer supply the DC bus with power.

Page 31: 7-Preventive Maintenance
7.1—Battery Maintenance Service technicians should perform preventive maintenance every 6 months. The Q-LS Battery cabinet generally employs sealed-cell, lead-acid batteries, which do not require electrolyte level to be maintained. Periodic visual inspections of battery and terminal voltages and connections, however, are necessary. These inspections should be performed following the recommendations outlined by the battery manufacturer. - Page 32 This page left intentionally left blank.
