Tripp Lite BP240V32, BP48V165 owner manual Rear Panel with Cover Removed BP240V33

Safety (continued)

•Internal batteries must be replaced by equivalent batteries available from Tripp Lite.

•The Battery Module must be disconnected from the UPS System and the Battery Module’s fuses must be removed prior to maintenance or service. Do not disconnect Battery Module from the UPS System without following all appropriate safety precautions in the UPS System owner’s manual to completely power down and de-energize the UPS System and remove it from the AC utility source.

•Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, batteries should be changed only by trained service personnel observing proper precautions. Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects. Use tools with insulated handles. Wear rubber gloves and boots and protective clothing and face shields. Use rubber mats to cover or place batteries on. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals. Determine if the batteries are inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the source of the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

•Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released battery fluid may be toxic and cause serious personal injury. The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in the USA only, refer to these sources for recycling information: 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323), 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379), or www.rbrc.com.

•Fuses should be replaced only by factory authorized personnel. Blown fuses should be replaced only with fuses of the same number and type.

Features

Qualified service personnel should familiarize themselves with all features of the Battery Module prior to Installation, Connection and Maintenance.

1Fuse Holder (externally accessible, BP240V33 model only)*: fuses protect against short circuit damage. If a heavy overload or short circuit is encountered, a fuse will blow. A Battery Module with a blown fuse will not deliver any output voltage to the connected UPS System. A qualified electrician must replace the fuses. See Maintenance section for details. Depending on the model, the fuses may be inaccessible without disconnecting the Battery Module from the UPS System and removing the back cover panel.

2Internal Battery Trays: the Battery Module contains five trays of batteries (with four batteries per tray) to supply extended runtime to a connected UPS System. After disconnection, the trays slide out for removal. See Maintenance section for details. Fuses must be removed before any maintenance is performed.

3Cables for Battery Tray Interconnection (internal): connect the battery trays (either in serial or in parallel, depending on model) to supply DC battery power (either 240V DC or 48V DC, depending on model) to a connected UPS System. See Maintenance section for wiring diagram.

4Cables for UPS System Connection (external, BP240V33 model only)*: connect the internal batteries (through the fuse holder) to a compatible Tripp Lite UPS System. Do not replace these cables. Using improper cables may damage your equipment and cause fire hazards. See Installation section for details.

5Grounding Lug: connects the Battery Module to earth ground. See Installation section for details.

6Wheels: the wheels are only designed for slight position adjustments within the final installation area; they are not designed for moving the Battery Module over considerable distances.

7Mounting Brackets: allow for permanent mounting, if desired. User must supply hardware appropriate for mounting surface.
