Appendix A: XL Information

When used with external battery packs, the extended run (XL) UPS offers longer run times than a standard UPS and extra load protection during battery replacement. When replacing the batteries either in the UPS or battery pack(s), the UPS can still respond to a power disturbance using the remaining connected batteries. Please refer to the main sections of this User’s Manual for basic information about the UPS. This appendix provides additional information needed to use extended run versions of the UPS.

XL Installation

This figure shows the location of the battery pack connector on the 5U SU1400RMXL (top), the SU3000 tower unit (right), the 5U SU3000RM (bottom), and the SU1000XL tower unit (left). Some UPS models have the battery pack connector in different positions, but the size and shape of the connector is always the same.

Battery pack connectors are color coded as shown in the table below. Battery pack connectors are also keyed to prevent improper connection. Do not try to install battery packs with connectors that are a different color from the battery pack connector in the UPS.
