Important Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! This owner's manual contains important instructions and warnings that must be followed during the installation and operation of the SUBF2030 Battery Module Compartment. The owner's manuals included with compatible products (UPS systems and internal battery packs) include additional safety instructions that must be followed during installation and operation. Failure to heed these instructions may cause permanent damage to the UPS system (voiding its warranty) and create a potential for serious personal injury or death from lethal high voltage.

• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems or Battery Module Compartments in life support applications in which a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System or Battery Module Compartment could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of a life support device.

• Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is connected. Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. During any service work, the UPS should be turned off or put into manual bypass.

• Do not connect or disconnect the battery modules while the UPS is operating from the battery supply or when the unit is not in bypass mode.

• Do not stack anything on the battery module compartment. Failure to follow this warning will cause permanent damage to the battery module compartment and create a potential for serious personal injury.

• The battery module compartment's caster wheels are only designed for slight position adjustments within the final installation area; they are not designed for moving the unit over considerable distances. The wheels are not designed to provide long-term support for the battery module compartment after final installation. Mounting bracket installation is required. See Installation section.

• The battery module compartment is heavy. Use assistants as needed. Remove internal batteries before adding or removing battery module compartments.

Installation

Place the UPS system in Bypass Mode or completely turn it off, depending on preference. See UPS system owner's manual for instructions.

Position the battery module compartment next to the UPS system (or next to another battery module compartment in a daisy-chain connection). Make sure that the included cable can reach.

Using the included bolts, install one mounting bracket on each side of the battery module compartment, as shown. If desired, install the bracket to the floor surface with user-supplied hardware. If the mounting brackets are not attached to the floor, ensure the rear caster wheels are locked to prevent the SUBF2030 from rolling and causing a potential hazard.

DANGER!

RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY!

The battery module compartment's wheels are not designed to provide long-term support after final installation. MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION IS REQUIRED. If the mounting brackets are not installed, the wheels may eventually fail and potentially damage the battery module compartment and cause serious personal injury.

Installation

(continued)

Remove the battery module compartment's access panel.

Add internal battery packs, fuse block brackets and fuses to the standalone battery module compartment. See “Adding or Replacing Internal Batteries” in the UPS system's owner's manual. Ensure that the battery cable connectors are not covered.

Using the included cable , connect one end to the UPS system's external battery cable connector and the other end to the SUBF2030's external battery cable connector . To reach the internal connectors, run the cable through the access slots located on the bottom panel of the UPS system and SUBF2030 (not shown). To keep the cable away from the front of the UPS, run it behind the front caster wheels of the UPS system and SUBF2030 . If the mounting brackets are not attached to the floor, ensure the rear caster wheels are locked to prevent the wheels from running over the cable.

Replace battery module compartment's access panel.

Return the UPS system to Normal Mode or completely turn it on, depending on the procedure you followed in step 1. See UPS system owner's manual for instructions.

OPTIONAL DAISY-CHAIN CONNECTION: Connect additional SUBF2030 compartments in a daisy-chain configuration for additional extended runtime. Using the included cable , connect one end to the external battery cable connector located in the upper, middle section of the SUBF2030 located closest to the UPS system. Connect the other end of the included cable to the external battery cable connector located in the lower, right corner of the SUBF2030 located farthest from the UPS system. Daisy-chain additional SUBF2030 compartments, side-by-side, in the same manner. Do not stack SUBF2030 models on top of each other.
