BATTERY LIFE
The batteries in your Staco UPS system were shipped from the factory fully charged. If
you plan to place the batteries in storage for any period of time prior to installation and
startup then the following precaution should be followed.
Batteries placed in storage will age. How fast they will age depends on the storage
temperature. The batteries are rated for storage over a temperature range of -15o C to
40o C (5o F to 104o F). The amount of time the batteries may be stored without recharge
varies greatly with storage temperature. Please consult the following table. If the
batteries are allowed to sit in storage for an excessive period of time before recharging
then they are subject to irreversible damage.
Once the batteries are placed into service and fully charged, the useful life of the
batteries will be reduced if they are subjected to high temperatures. The operating
temperature range of -15
short periods of time. Batteries operating continuously at or near 40
a shorter useful life than batteries operating continuously at 25
o
C to 40o C (5o F to 104o F) must not be exceeded for even
o
o
C. Battery life will be
C will experience
further shortened if the batteries are allowed to fully discharge and then left in that
condition for extended per i ods of time. As soon as the load is removed from the battery
it will continue to age at a higher rate than a fully charged battery. The longer the
battery remains discharged the greater the risk of irreversible damage.
Allowing the batteries to become damaged due to; a) operation or storage outside
the rated temperature range, b) storage for extended periods of time without
recharge per the table above, or c) sitting for a period of time in a discharged
state will void the battery warranty.

CONNECTING TO THE FIRSTLINE PL BATTERY C ABINET
To be performed by authorized service personnel:
1. Inspect battery trays for signs of damage. Verify that all terminal connections are
sound. The red and black “powerpole” connectors will be connected, but the
blue and white connectors on the wires joining the trays in the string should not
be connected.
2. If possible, after connecting the loose “powerpole” connections (blue to blue,
white to white), use a voltmeter to verify that the battery string is above 408 VDC
at the TB3 connector. If the voltage is low or the voltage varies significantly from
string to string, please consult Staco service.
Figure 5 - Power Connections
Page | 11
Page 14
3. The battery cabinet(s) to be installed must include the at least one –B version.
The fi rst –B cabinet must have its input terminal block (TB1) wired directly to the
UPS. To wire additional battery cabinets, wire from TB2 of the first battery
cabinet to TB1 of the second –B battery cabinet. Repeat these steps for
additional –B cabinets. Use wire sized per local codes, #6 AWG 75°C copper
wire minimum to #3/0 A WG max i mum.
When a –N version cabinet is installed with a –B cabinet, the –B cabinet must
have its TB1 terminal block wired to the UPS or another –B cabinet. To wire
from the –B cabinet to the –N cabinet, wire from TB3 of the –B cabinet to TB1 of
the –N cabinet. To wire additional –N battery cabinets, wire from TB2 of the first
–N battery cabinet to TB1 of the second –N battery cabinet. Repeat these steps
for additional -N cabinets.
There must be at least one –B cabinet among the battery cabinets. If it is desired
to create a battery system involving all –N version cabinets and a user provided
disconnect switch, contact Staco for requirements for the disconnect switch.
Please note that a custom configuration of this type is not covered by Staco’s UL
Listing, nor is it covered by this manual.
TB3 is energized at all times. Opening the circuit breakers does not
remove power from this terminal block.
4. Connect the ground wire to the ¼-20 ground stud with a ring terminal or pressure
lug by removing and replacing the top nut and washers only with a 7/16” wrench.
5. Before working within the UPS cabinet, verify that the UPS has no pow er applied.
Before touching the Extended Run Time Battery connector in the UPS, verify that
all internal battery strings are disconnected (that is, verify that the blue and white
“powerpole” connectors are NOT mated). Refer to the UPS manual. Repeat
procedures 3 and 4 to the FirstLine PL UPS Extended Run Time Batter y
connector located in the lower left side of the UPS. We recommend that the wires
be marked as to which is positive (+) and negative (-) to ensure that the wires are
not accidentally crossed. See Figure 9.
Never connect the positive to the negative. Severe damage and injury
could result. Check polarity at the TB3 terminal block.
6. For –B cabinets, connect the Circuit Breaker Interface per Sec ti on 5 .
7. Mate the blue connections, blue to blue, and then the white connections, white to
white. See Figure 9. Repeat this procedure for the other battery cabinets, if

REMOVE THESE BUS BARS
BEFORE SERVICING THE
BATTERY TRAYS
SECTION 6
BATTERY REMOVAL, INSTALLATION, AND SERVICE
The batteries must only be serviced by authorized service personnel. Always wear eye
protection and have eye wash near at hand. Never work on any connections that have
not been disconnected from all other sources of voltage. Parallel connected battery
cabinets require that all battery strings in all battery cabinets be disconnected before
working within any particular cabinet. Also, the UPS is usually equipped with internal
batteries that must be disconnected before service (refer to the UPS manual).
Before servicing batteries, the UPS should be turned off, power should be removed
from the UPS input, and all battery breakers and disconnect switches should be open.
If a Maintenance Bypass Switch (MBS) is present, power to the load can be maintained
during service. Refer to the instructions for the MBS to put the system in bypass mode
before removing power from the UPS.
Before any battery service is attempted, the batteries must be disconnected by
unplugging the cables to the battery trays. If it is necessary to remove the cables from
the batteries, the connections should be marked in a way that no confusion will exist
when it is time to reconnect the cables (see Figure 9). The batteries are mounted in
slide out trays that permit access to the battery to battery connections when the trays
are withdrawn from the cabinet.
To service the battery trays, they must be removed from the cabinet by
a fork lift. The 2 bus bars at the back of the tray, as shown in Figure 7,
must be removed before servicing or replacing the batteries.

WARNING
Never connect the two cables from a battery tray or from a battery string (two trays)
together as severe damage will occur, resulting in fire and/or injury. Battery connections
If batteries are being replaced, only use the same manufacturer and battery type and
rating as the battery removed. When the bus bars connecting the batteries are
removed, be careful to avoid dropping bolts or shifting the bus bars so that they might
short across adjacent battery terminals. We recommend using a piece of electrical
insulating paper (for example, “Nomex”) as a temporary shield between the bus bars
during service.
It is very important that only one tray at a time be extended from the cabinet. If more
than one tray is extended, the cabinet can become unstable and topple over.
After each tray is installed or serviced, it must be fully inserted and secured using the
supplied threaded fasteners before attempting to install or service another tray.
If the trays are to be removed, always remove the highest tray first. The battery tr ays
are very heavy and it will be necessary to use a lifting device to support the trays as
they are removed. When the trays are to be reinstalled, use the procedure in the
following paragraph.
The battery trays are very heavy and it will be necessary to use a lifting device to
support the trays as they are installed. Do not take away the external support until the
extension limit tabs on the upper sides of the battery tray are inserted past the notches
on the upper edge of the battery shelf (see Figure 8). Always install the lowest battery
tray first. After it is inserted fully into the support shelf, secure the tray with the supplied
threaded fasteners. After all of the trays are reinstalled and secured, reconnect the
cables using the markings as a guide.

The FirstLine PL Extended Run Time Battery Cabinet is designed to be virtually user
maintenance free, requiring only the occasional wipe with a damp cloth or non-abrasive
cleaner.
Spare kits are available for the FirstLine PL Extended Run Time Battery Cabinet series,
please contact Staco Energy Products Co. service center for details.
For maximum availability of the UPS, the batteries should be replaced as part of a
comprehensive pr ev ent ive maintenance program.
Table 4 - Replacement Batteries and Operating Temperatures

Cabinet Model Manufacturer Cat. Number
This product contains Value Regulated Sealed Acid Batteries.
These batteries contain lead, a neurotoxin, and sulfuric acid, a corrosive. Additionally,
the energy stored in the batteries can present a shock hazard and a burn hazard.
Batteries should only be services by trained personnel. Appropriate safety precautions
must be observed, including eye protection and skin protection. Contact with electrolyte
requires flushing with generous amounts of clean water. Seek medical attention
immediately following contact with electrolyte. Unwanted batteries must be recycled
and should never be discarded.
The functional lifetime of batteries is significantly affected by the temperature at which
they are stored and operated. Ideally, batteries should be used in a 70° F (21° C)
environment. For every 15° F (8.3° C) increase in temperature, the life expectancy of a
battery will be halved.
1
Battery life is highly dependent on the ambient temperature and the number and depth of discharge
cycles. A discharged battery should be recharged as soon as possible. If the battery is left in a discharged
state, irreversible sulfation occurs, reducing the capacity (run-time) of the battery.
Page | 17
Page 20
Exposure to temperatures in excess of 90°F (32°C) should be limited to no more than
30 days per year. Under no circumstances should the battery be exposed to
temperatures over 104° F (40° C) which can lead to thermal runaway, a condition that
damages the battery. Thermal runaway can cause batteries to swell. If the battery
cases burst, the hazardous contents may be exposed.
Maintaining proper ambient temperature usually requires installing the product in a
temperature controlled space. Equipment rooms without cooling systems do not
generally maintain the proper conditions for good battery life.
