SECTION 1
The FirstLine PL Extended Run Time Battery Cabinet for 30kVA are used in conjunction
with the FirstLine PL/PLT 30 KVA uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to prevent loss
of valuable electronic information and minimize equipment downtime. During brownouts,
blackouts, and other power interruptions, batteries provide emergency power to
safeguard operation .

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual covers battery cabinets with the following part numbers:
FLP-BAT-030-150-2-B-30K: battery cabinet fused at 90A (suitable for 30 KVA), 2
battery string matched to 208V UPS (204 cell system),
with breakers.
FLP-BAT-030-150-2-N-30K: battery cabinet fused at 90A (suitable f or 30 KVA), 2
battery string matched to 208V UPS (204 cell system),
without breakers.
SECTION 2
SAFETY WARNINGS
This manual contains important instructions that you should follow during installation
and maintenance of the battery cabinet. Please read all instructions before operating
the equipment and save this manual for fut ur e re ferenc e.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
a. Do not use outdoors.
b. Do not route wiring across or near hot surfaces.
c. Do not install near gas or electric heaters.
d. Use caution when servicing batteries. Battery acid can cause burns to skin
and eyes. If acid is spilled on skin or in eyes, flush acid with fresh water and
contact a physician immediately.
e. Equipment should be installed where it will not readily be subjected to
tampering by unauthorized personnel.
f. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may
cause an unsafe condition.
g. Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Electrostatic Sensitive Device
This battery cabinet co ntai ns LE THAL VOLTAGES. All repairs and service
should be performed by AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. There
are NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS inside the battery cabinet.
This battery cabinet contains its own energy source (batteries). Hazardous
voltage may be present even when the battery cabinet is not connected to a
power source.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this battery cabinet in a
temperature and humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive
contaminants. Do not operate near water or excessive humidity (95%
maximum).

Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit
current. Observe proper precautions. Servicing should be performed by
qualified service personnel knowledgeable of batteries and required
precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. Replace with
same type and rating only.
Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal
requirements.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to
flame.
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 serviced by trained personnel. Appropriate safety
precautions must be observed, including eye protection and skin protection.
Contact with electrolyte requires flushing with a generous amount of clean
water. Seek medical attention immediately following contact with electrolyte.
Unwanted batteries must be recycled and should never be discarded.
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and short circuit
current. The following precautions should be observed when working on
batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the batteri es .
5. Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently
grounded, remove source of ground. Contact with any part of a grounded
battery can result in electric shock. The likelihood of such shock will be
reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance
(applicable to a UPS and a remote battery supply not having a grounded
supply circuit).

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.
