Battery Replacement Procedure - Tower Units
1.Grasp the top edge of the bottom front cover and tilt it out.
For the 5000 VA unit: Remove the front bezel by grasping the finger clips on the side of the bezel and carefully loosening the four (4) snaps. Skip to step 3.
2.Unhook the bottom section of the front cover from the chassis and set it aside.
3.Use a screwdriver or a coin to remove the two (2) battery door screws and open the door.
4.Disconnect the front battery pack:
For the 1400 – 3000 VA models, gently but firmly pull the red and black wires at the top of the battery housing to disconnect the gray connector plug from the UPS.
For the 5000 VA model, grip the white cord on the front set of batteries and pull firmly to disconnect the connector.
5.Pull the front battery out of the UPS by pulling on the clear label, not the white cord. Remove the foam spacer and set it aside. (The 5000 VA unit does not use foam spacers.)
Notes:
Be careful removing the batteries - they are heavy. Support the bottom of the batteries as
you remove them.
The 5000 VA model has four of batteries, two in each compartment. Exercise special care
when removing the top set.
6.Disconnect and remove the second battery pack by repeating steps 4 and 5.
7.Replace the back battery (or set). For 5000 VA units:
Hold the battery pack so that the leads are on top. Slide the battery pack into the UPS.
8.Reconnect the battery (or set.)
For 1400 – 3000 VA units: Press the gray connector into the plug at the top of the battery housing. Replace the foam spacer (if used). Replace the front battery (or set) into the UPS and reconnect.
For 5000 VA units:
Press the gray connector into the plug at the top of the battery compartment. Tuck the white cord (that serves as a handle for the connector) neatly to the side.
Notes:
For the 5000 VA model, repeat steps 4 through 8 for the second set of battery packs.
Small sparks at the battery connectors are normal during connection.
9.Close the battery door, replace the screws, and replace the lower front cover or bezel.
Batteries must be recycled. Deliver the battery to an appropriate recycling facility or ship it to the supplier in the new battery’s packing material. See the new battery instructions for more information.
