Tripp Lite HC150 Series Application Manuallines

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and
batteries.
The HC150 and HCINT150 series of hospital cart power modules are designed to provide AC voltage output
power from either utility provided AC input voltage or from inverting DC power from a battery. The HC150SL,
HC150LVR, and HCINT150SL may be configured for either a Lithium Iron Phosphate (Li-Ion) battery or a sealed
lead acid (SLA) battery (not provided). The HCINT150L model works only with a Li-Ion battery. To ensure proper
operation, the following guidelines should be observed:
General:
1. The power module can support continuous AC loads up to a maximum of 150VA or 150W.
2. The HC150SL and HC150LVR models require 60Hz utility input. The HCINT150SL and HCINT150L models
automatically select the last utility frequency encountered (50Hz or 60Hz) for invert mode operation.
3. The appliance inlet dongle serves as a disconnect device and shall be easily accessible.
4. Alternately, the socket-outlet of the end-product shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible or disconnect device provided within the end product.
5. A Remote User Interface (RUI) module (not provided) must be connected to the power module using two
CAT-5 cables (not provided, 5 ft./1.5 m max length). The COMM1 jacks should be connected together and
the COMM2 jacks should be connected together. If the cables are not connected or if they are interchanged,
the power module will not operate. The RUI may be either a Tripp Lite RUI or a customer designed RUI that
meets Tripp Lite specifications.
6. The power module is able to provide many operational parameters to monitoring software (such as Tripp
Lite's PowerAlert) running on a computer that has a USB connection to the power module (a 2 ft./0.6 m USB
cable is provided).
7. The rated temperature range for the fan inlet air to the power module is 0°C to 40°C.
8. The power module has internal over temperature protection. If the internal temperature becomes greater than
85°C, the power module will shut down (no VAC output and no charging). If the temperature drops below
85°C, charging will resume but the VAC output will remain off until the On switch on the RUI is pressed.
9. When using a Li-Ion battery, a communication cable (not provided, 5 ft./1.5 m max length) is required from the
power module COMM3 connector to the battery communication connector. This allows the battery to
communicate its operating parameters to the power module, including state of charge and over temperature
conditions (the power module will interrupt current into or out of a battery if a battery reports an internal
temperature alarm exceeding about 60°C). Caution: To prevent possible damage to the power module, make
battery DC power connections before making communication connections (and reverse the procedure when
disconnecting the battery).
10. When using SLA batteries with HC150SL, HC150LVR, or HCINT150SL models, a communication cable is not
used. To provide added fault protection for SLA batteries, the HC150SL and HCINT150SL models may be
equipped with optional temperature sensors (Tripp Lite P/N AC8441) connected from their THERM1 and/or
THERM2 connectors to the negative terminals of the batteries. The sensors need to be enabled by
reprogramming the power module using a software tool available from Tripp Lite. The sensors allow the
power module to interrupt current into or out of a battery if a battery temperature exceeds 50°C. If a sensor
has been enabled, a missing or open sensor will also cause a shut down.
11. CAUTION: Double Pole/Neutral Fusing.
