3External Battery Connection

(Select Models)

Your UPS comes with a robust internal

 

A

battery system; external batteries are

 

 

needed only to extend runtime. Adding

 

 

external batteries will increase recharge

 

 

time as well as runtime. This UPS supports

BP48V24-2U (limit 1) and BP48V60RT-3U

 

(unlimited).

 

 

The illustration (see 3 ) shows the location of your UPS’s External Battery Connector A

where

you will insert the battery pack cable. Complete installation instructions for your battery pack appear in the battery pack owner’s manual. Make sure that cables are fully inserted into their connectors. Small sparks may result during battery connection; this is normal.

Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is running on battery power.

Caution! When an external battery pack is connected, make sure the AC load does not exceed the nameplate rating. Select models are derated when an external battery pack is connected. See UPS nameplate label for derating details.

When connecting external batteries to the UPS, go to the Tripp Lite website at www.tripplite. com/en/support/bpconfig/index.cfm to download the External Battery Pack Utility software to configure your UPS for external battery support.

Note:

1.The runtime and charger rate will automatically recalculate once the External Battery Pack Tool process is complete.

2.If the setup will no longer include external batteries, the UPS can be configured to work without external batteries via the LCD Screen. See External Battery Settings Control section under Basic Operation for details.

3.If external battery packs are removed, the UPS must be reset to “NO EXTERNAL BATTERY” via the LCD interface or the External Battery Configuration Program available on the Tripp Lite website. Failure to do so may result in damage to the internal batteries due to over-charging.
