Figure 23. Battery Terminal Types

Connect the battery cables between batteries as shown in the battery installation diagram. Do not connect the cables between battery strings or between the UPS and the batteries yet. If you are only using one string of batteries, go to step 11.

If you are connecting more than one battery string, connect the positive cables as shown in the battery installation diagram. Next, use the voltmeter to check the DC voltage between the negative terminals of the strings. The measured voltage should be less than three volts. If it is more than three volts, correct any wiring errors before you go on.

Use the cables provided to connect the negative () battery terminals of the battery strings as shown in the battery installation diagram. If the battery cabinet has a DC switch, the DC switch has been installed at the factory.

To connect external batteries to your UPS, follow the instructionsFEorQFE500forVA3your.1kVAmodel:

If your battery cabinet has a DC switch, make sure the switch is is in the OFF position; then, find the battery cables between the UPS and the batteries. The removable DC connector at one end of the cables connects to the UPS, and the other ends of the positive and negative cables connect to the external batteries. You should connect the cables to the batteries first. Refer to the battery installation diagram as you follow the steps below.
