Page 23 C H A P T E R 6 DC W NSTALLING ATTERIES AND IRING WARNING Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the battery and DC wiring installation. Risk of electrical shock exists. This section explains how to install system batteries, fuses, and cables. An electrician who is familiar with battery installations and applicable building and electrical codes should install the batteries.
Page 24 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. Cabinets are design to be used with, and batteries must be replaced with, manufacturer battery number BAT-CG12105X, BAT-CG12150X OR BAT-CG12180X,or a manufacturer approved equivalent.
Page 25 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 26 Location Before you start installing the batteries, you must install the system and battery cabinets in their permanent location. If you have not already done this, see “Location Guidelines” on page 10 to choose a location. CAUTION To prevent damage to your equipment, do not move the system or separate battery cabinets after the batteries are installed.
Page 27 Making the Equipment Ground Connection Each battery cabinet ground (or earth) must be connected to the system’s chassis ground. You can make this connection at the ground terminals inside the system and the battery cabinet as follows. CAUTION All grounding conductors should be insulated. If you are using non-insulated grounding conductors, take special care to make sure that the grounding conductors cannot accidentally contact live wires or the batteries.
Page 28 3. Repeat step 1 and 2 for each additional battery string (See battery layout drawing for quantity of battery strings). Fuse All systems come with a fuse for each battery string to protect the system. The battery-wiring diagram shows the fuse location; a label inside the battery cabinet shows the fuse size.
Page 29 Now, follow these steps to connect the cables: 1. Using the battery-wiring diagram, determine which batteries belong to each battery string. 2. Clean the cable connectors with the wire brush before you make the battery connections. Torque all battery terminal connections to the value shown for your battery in Table 6.1.
Page 30 Review all the safety instructions at the beginning of this chapter before you replace any batteries. 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 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 or battery cabinets with the same number of batteries.
Page 31 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 “Program Functions” 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.

Page 89 MODBUS Serial Communication Board MODBUS TCP and SNMP communication from the three-phase Illuminator Hypernova Emergency Lighting Central Inverter is achieved via a standard Myers EPS MODBUS serial communication option board – which converts the RS-232 communication with the inverter controller into the MODBUS RTU protocol – and a Babel Buster BB2-6010 MODBUS RTU to MODBUS TCP Gateway, made by Control Solutions Inc.
Page 90 Babel Buster BB2-6010 The Babel Buster BB2-6010 is a DIN-rail mounted protocol bridge that is pre-programmed to convert between MODBUS RTU and MODBUS TCP and/or SNMP. It features two external connectors; one for MODBUS RTU RS485 and power in (24 Volts AC or DC), and the other for Ethernet (LAN connection) out. Figure 2 is a diagram of the BB2-6010.
Page 91 Meter Panel / MODBUS Selector Switch Important Note: The Meter Panel/MODBUS selector switch on the front of the cabinet door must be set to ‘MODBUS’ and left there for the MODBUS integration to work. When the switch is in the ‘MODBUS’ position, the nearby ‘MODBUS ENABLED’...

Page 94 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 95 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 96 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 97 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 98 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).
