SYSTEM OVERVIEW

These Battery Packs will extend the runtime capabilities of the UPS. These

Battery Packs have internal chargers to properly maintain the internal batteries. The charger will operate with 115VAC or 230VAC depending on the dipswitch setting. The Battery Pack will charge the batteries with the DC circuit breaker in the On or Off position as long as the Battery Pack is plugged into the AC wall outlet and there is an acceptable AC voltage present (90 - 130VAC/180 - 260VAC).

When the commercial power is lost the charger will turn Off and the Battery

Pack will extend the runtime of the UPS. When the commercial power returns the Battery Pack's internal charger will automatically start recharging the batteries. During normal AC operation, the UPS and Battery Pack will quietly and confidently protect your system from power anomalies.

TURNING THE BATTERY PACK ON/OFF

Turning the DC circuit breaker to the On position will connect the DC bus voltage from the Battery Pack to the UPS. Turning the DC circuit breaker to the

Off position will disconnect the DC bus voltage from the Battery Pack to the

UPS. The DC circuit breaker does NOT turn on or turn off the internal charger.

Plug the input power cord into the AC wall outlet to turn on the internal charger.

Unplug the input power cord to turn off the internal charger. The Battery Pack's internal charger will continue to charge the batteries whenever it is plugged into an AC wall outlet and there is acceptable AC voltage present (90 - 130VAC/180

- 260VAC).

DIPSWITCH SETTINGS

The dipswitch setting may be changed by the user to set the desired input voltage for the Battery Pack's internal charger. The dipswitch must be set with the DC circuit breaker in the Off position and with the input power cord disconnected from the AC wall outlet. Set the dipswitch to 115VAC or 230VAC. Plug the input power cord into the AC wall outlet and turn the DC circuit breaker to the On position.

INDICATORS
