S5KC Series Quick-Start Guide
Connecting External Battery Cabinet
Up to four external battery cabinets may be connected to the SolaHD S5KC UPS to increase battery run times.
The external battery cabinet (EBC) requires one of the optional EBC cable kits for connection to the UPS. Each optional cable kit
contains the power and communication cables required for operating and monitoring the battery modules. The standard cable kit
lengths are 3.2, 9.8 and 16.4 ft. (1, 3 and 5 meters) to accommodate dierent site installation requirements.

WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD PRESENT! HIGH VOLTAGE AND CURRENT CAN CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY AND DEATH.
FAILURE TO OPEN THE EXTERNAL BATTERY CABINET (EBC) DC CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE CONNECTING OR
DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY CABLE BETWEEN THE UPS AND EBC FRAMES CAN RESULT IN HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES
AND ENERGY BEING PRESENT BETWEEN THE FRAMES.
To connect an external battery cabinet:
1. BE SURE TO OPEN THE EBC DC CIRCUIT BREAKER. The circuit breaker is on the front bottom of the EBC frame behind the
bottom two bezels.
2. Connect one end of the battery cable to the external battery connector on the rear of the UPS frame.
3. Connect the other end to the closest corresponding port on the rear of the EBC frame, as shown in Figure 1.
4. Install and tighten the grounding screw on the battery cable assembly, on both the UPS and EBC ends. This screw also secures
the cable assembly to the frames to prevent accidental disconnection.
5. For new systems that include an EBC, the EBC communication card should already be installed in the UPS frame (Intelligent
Card Slot Port #3, typically). If it is not provided in the UPS frame, obtain the EBC communication card and insert it into any
open Intelligent Card Slot port (preferably Port #3). Connect the provided EBC communication cable to the UPS and EBC as
shown in Figure 1.
6. Check the EBC DIP switch settings on the top rear of each EBC frame. Verify they are set correctly according to Table 1.
7. Close the EBC DC circuit breaker and replace the bezels back onto the EBC.

If the number displayed is not consistent with the actual installation number of external battery cabinets:
• Ensure each external battery cabinet contains two battery modules installed on the same row and both have the locking
levers in the locked position.
• Ensure that the SolaHD Intelligent Card Slot EBC card is installed properly and the communication cables are fully inserted in
the connectors.
▲
• Determine that the DIP switch setting of each battery cabinet is correct using the following table.
