2.3.5Repairs to the Hardware
2.3.5.1Verification
Contact your Zultys sales or service representative if you believe that your BPS12 hardware is
faulty. In the USA and Canada, you may need to contact Zultys’ technical support to confirm that
the equipment is faulty. Follow the procedures in section 2.4.3 on page 9 before calling.
If Zultys’ sales or service representative determines that there may be a problem with your
hardware, you will be issued an RMA number.

2.4Support
2.4.1Resources
This section suggests ways to save yourself time by checking for answers yourself and ruling out
common problems.
If you have a question about the way the BPS12 works, the best way to get an accurate, immediate
answer is to try one or all of these approaches first.
• Check the index or table of contents of this manual for the topic you need.
• See the BPS12 technical support information on Zultys’ World Wide Web site.
If you take these steps and still cannot find the answer, contact your sales representative,
distributor, or Zultys.
8
2.4.2Contacting your Reseller
If you bought your product from a reseller and not directly from Zultys, you should contact them
first about questions related to the product. The reseller that sold the product to you has charged
you money for this support and you should therefore expect that they will assist you.
Often, a reseller will provide you a maintenance contract as part of your purchase, so that the
reseller will support you for a period of time after you receive the product. Verify with your
purchasing department that you have a support contract for your BPS12.
If the reseller is unable or unwilling to assist you, or if you bought the product directly from
Zultys, contact Zultys’ technical support directly.
2.4.3Using Zultys’ Technical Support
Zultys provides you with 30 days free technical support with the purchase of a system. The period
of technical support starts on the first day that you make a call to technical support and ends on
the 30th calendar day from the first time that you called.

Receiving the Equipment
3.1Initial Inspection
When the shipment of your BPS12 arrives, inspect the shipping boxes for external damages, and
record any discrepancies. Save the boxes and packing material in case you need to ship the system
to another facility. Always retain the packing materials if you suspect that part of the shipment is
damaged — the carrier may need to inspect them.
WarningDo not attempt to use the equipment if it appears damaged. Immediately report
the damages to Zultys or a local Zultys sales representative.
Chapter 3
3.2Shipment Contents
3.2.1Verify Contents
There are few hardware options for the BPS12. Upon delivery of your system, inspect the packing
list, and confirm that all items listed on that note were received. Compare the packing slip with
your purchase order. Your BPS12 is usually shipped with an ac power cord, one battery power
cable, rack mount brackets, and sufficient screws to securely mount the power supply to your
equipment rack.
Ensure that there are no discrepancies before you start installing the device as described in
chapter 5, starting on page 21.
Important If you suspect that there are discrepancies or that the equipment is not fully
functional, contact Zultys or your Zultys sales representative immediately.
Retain all packing materials and the shipping note for Zultys or its representative
to inspect. ZULTYS CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU CLAIM THAT
AN ITEM IS MISSING, AND YOU HAVE NOT INFORMED ZULTYS WITHIN
THREE DAYS OF RECEIPT, OR IF YOU HAVE NOT RETAINED ALL PACKING
MATERIALS FOR INSPECTION.

Notify your Zultys sales or service representative under any of the following conditions:
• the shipping container or any of the contents appear damaged
• an item is missing
• there is a discrepancy between the packing slip and the equipment received
• the equipment does not function correctly
Your local Zultys sales representative will arrange for repair or replacement, at Zultys’s
discretion. In certain cases, Zultys may require a claim settlement.
3.4Returning Items for Repair or Replacement
3.4.1Warranty Coverage
Before returning merchandise to Zultys for repair or replacement, you must ensure that the items
are under warranty. Read chapter 2, starting on page 5, for details on the warranty of Zultys’s
products. If you are unsure about the warranty of your merchandise, call your local Zultys sales
representative for clarification. You must obtain an RMA before returning any merchandise from
Zultys; this includes equipment covered under warranty.
For merchandise not under warranty, Zultys offers extended warranty. Call your local Zultys
sales representative for pricing on extended warranty for your merchandise.
3.4.2Obtaining RMA Number
If you believe that something is wrong with the equipment, call Zultys’s inside sales department
to obtain a return merchandise authorization (RMA) number. If the problem is technical in
nature, Zultys may first try to diagnose the problem over the telephone. If the problem cannot be
resolved over the telephone, Zultys will issue an RMA number and give you specific instructions
for the return of the merchandise to Zultys’s facilities.
If you have purchased Zultys’s products through a distributor outside the US, contact the
distributor for specific instructions. Zultys issues RMA numbers for customers who buy its
products directly from Zultys. Distributors will offer their own service and support for Zultys’s
products.
3.4.3Describing the Problem
If you are returning equipment to Zultys for service, attach a tag or sheet of paper to the
equipment giving the following details:
12
• your company or institution’s name, address, and phone number
• the main person to contact, an alternative contact, and their phone numbers if different from
the main phone number
• the return shipping address and any special shipping instructions
• the model number and serial number of the equipment being returned
• a description of the failure (If failure is intermittent, describe its frequency and special
condition that initiate the failure.)
• any additional comments
3.4.4Accessories
Do not return any of the accessories with the equipment unless you suspect that one of them is
faulty. If you return an accessory, place a tag on it that clearly identifies it as yours, and briefly
explain the problem.
3.4.5Packing
Wherever possible, use the original packing materials to ship the equipment. If these are not
available, containers and cushioning material similar to those originally used are available from
Zultys.
3. Receiving the Equipment
If it is inconvenient to obtain supplies from Zultys, use a strong, triple-walled shipping carton.
Place about 70 mm (3 in) of cushioning material around all sides of the equipment.
Zultys is not responsible for any damage that occurs during shipment back to the factory.
3.4.6Shipping
Obtain from your nearest Zultys sales or service representative the correct address to which you
should return the equipment. Clearly mark the container with Zultys’s address and your own
address. Ship the package prepaid and insured to Zultys.
The method of shipment which Zultys will return repaired merchandise back to your facility will
be the same method by which you shipped the merchandise to Zultys. For example, if you
shipped merchandise to Zultys by ground shipment, Zultys will return the merchandise to you
by ground shipment. If the merchandise must be repaired and returned to you as soon as
possible, you must arrange for the merchandise to be shipped to Zultys by overnight shipment.
3.4.7Correspondence
In any correspondence subsequent to the return of equipment, always refer to the equipment by
model number and serial number.

4. Hardware Description
• The system has either failed or that failure is imminent by simultaneously flashing all LEDs
red and buzzing the audio alarm continuously. Examples of a condition that may cause a
system failure is the inability of the battery to recharge because the battery draws excessive
current (more than 3.6 A) over an extended time.
Power cycling the BPS12 (disconnecting ac power, then reconnecting ac power) may reset the
LEDs and audio alarm, but the condition that caused this failure alert will remain and the
LEDs will start flashing again within two hours.
If the LEDs continue to flash after you power cycle the system or begin flashing again within
two hours, contact Zultys Technical Support.
• The internal batteries are about to experience a deep discharge condition. The BPS12 shuts
down the system to avoid damaging the batteries permanently.
When the ac power is off, the LEDs begin flashing red when the magnitude of the output
voltage drops below –45 Vdc; the system shuts down when the voltage drops below –42Vdc.
Connecting the BPS12 to ac power will resolve this problem if the batteries are capable of
recharging normally. In this case, the LEDs will not start flashing and no further action is
required
Whenever the BPS12 generates a failure alert, contact Zultys Technical Support or your local
Zultys sales representative for assistance.
WarningNever attempt to resolve a system failure by servicing the BPS12 yourself. Any
attempt to do so may cause personal injury and will void your warranty.
4.4BPS12 Capacity
4.4.1BPS12 Capacity when Connected to ac Power
When the BPS12 is receiving ac power, it can simultaneously provide power to the devices to
which it is connected and recharge its internal batteries.
4.4.1.1Load supply
When the main ac power is on, a single BPS12 can supply –56 Vdc nominal, 10 A maximum to an
individual load or distributed among all loads.
4.4.1.2Battery Recharge
When the main ac power is on, the BPS12 can fully recharge its internal batteries to 85% of
capacity within 24 hours and 100% within seven days while suppling an output current of 10 A.
4.4.2BPS12 Capacity when Not Connected to ac Power
When disconnected from its ac power source, the BPS12 supplies power to the load from its
internal batteries.
19
BPS12 Hardware Manual
4.4.2.1Load Output
When fully charged, the BPS12 delivers a load output of –56 Vdc immediately after it is
disconnected from its ac power source. As the internal batteries discharge, the voltage magnitude
decreases while the supply maintains a constant power output. The discharge rate depends on
the ambient temperature and the current required by the output. When the remaining charge in
the BPS12 reaches the disconnect level below –42 Vdc, the BPS12 disconnects its power from the
load; the three LEDs warns you when the charge level reaches –45 Vdc.
4.4.2.2Battery Capacity
The total battery capacity is expressed in Ampere-hours (Ah), which measures the period of time
that the device can deliver a unit of current. The battery capacity depends on the discharge rate
and the ambient temperature. A fully charged BPS12, at room temperature, can discharge a
current of 0.6 A for 20 hours, which equals a battery capacity of 12 Ah. However, the same BPS12
can discharge a current of 8 A for only one hour, for a battery capacity of 8 Ah.
You can increase the battery capacity to a maximum of 60 Ah by connecting five BPS12 systems
in parallel, as described in section 6.4 on page 31.

21
BPS12 Hardware Manual
5.2Preparation for Installation
5.2.1Selecting a Site
5.2.1.1Earth Ground
You need to ensure a protective earth ground for proper installation of the BPS12. Verify that the
resistance to ground is less that 0.1 Ω between the equipment frame and earth ground. A decent
earth ground is normally implemented with a copper rod (about 16 mm (0.6”) diameter) driven
at least 4 m (12 ft.) into moist soil. To improve conductivity, salt or magnesium sulphate can be
added to the soil surrounding the rod to a depth of 200 mm (0.6 ft.); this procedure may require
replenishing.
5.2.1.2Temperature
You should install the BPS12 in an environment where there is ample air flow to circulate the air
around the product and the temperature does not go below 0°C and does not exceed 30°C.
Prolonged exposure to temperatures greater the 30°C may reduce the lifetime of the internal
batteries of the BPS12.
WarningInstalling the BPS12 in an environment where the temperature is outside the range
0°C ~ 30°C may result in bodily injury and damage to the BPS12 or surrounding
equipment. You will also void your warranty.
5.2.1.3Ventilation
The BPS12 contains two fans, located on the right side of the device, that circulate air through the
sides of the chassis.
Important Do not cover the slots and openings on the left or right side of the BPS12. These
openings provide ventilation and protection against overheating.
5.2.1.4Rack Space
If possible, install the rack mountable system in a 19" rack or cabinet1 nearby the corporate
networking equipment. The height used is 3 RU. See section 5.3.2 on page 24 for information
about the requirements of the equipment rack.
5.2.1.5ac Power Requirements
The BPS12 uses ac power as its primary power source. You can connect multiple BPS12s in parallel
to increase backup duration during an ac power failure. The combined load current for systems
connected in parallel must not exceed 10 A.
1. You may purchase extender brackets if the equipment bay is 23" instead of 19". Check with your Zultys representative
for the part number and pricing of these brackets.
22
The BPS12 has a universal ac input that you can connect to a standard electric outlet (90 Vac to
264 Vac, 47 Hz to 63 Hz). The BPS12 draws a maximum current of 9.3 A from its ac input.
5.2.1.6Cable Lengths
You need to install the BPS12 so that you can run the battery supply cable to your load. The length
of the cable is 2 m (6 feet).
5.2.1.7Other Site Requirements
Ensure that you select a site so that liquids or objects will not fall onto the equipment and so that
foreign objects will not be drawn into the ventilation holes.
5.2.2Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Almost all electronic components can be damaged by ESD during handling. Component damage
can occur at ESD voltages as low as 50 V. A person walking across a nylon carpet can easily
generate voltages in excess of 5000 V.
Observe the following guidelines to help prevent ESD damage when installing or servicing the
BPS12 or any other electronic device.
5. Installing the BPS12
• Assemble or disassemble equipment only in a static-free work area.
• Use a conductive work surfaces (such as an antistatic mat) to dissipate static charge.
• Wear a conductive wrist strap and lab coat to dissipate static charge accumulation.
• Minimize handling of assemblies and components.
• Keep replacement parts in their original static-free packaging.
• Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials from the
immediate work area.
• Use tools that do not create ESD.
In addition to these precautions, do not handle connector pins to avoid contamination.
CautionYo u c an ea si ly da ma ge t h e BPS12 by failing to follow these instructions. You may
delay installation, or cause the equipment to prematurely fail. Such failure may lead
to a disruption of the service provided by the equipment. You may also void your
warranty.

WarningUsing cables that are not supplied by Zultys will void your warranty.
5.3.2Equipment Rack
Zultys recommends that you install the BPS12 in the same secured wiring closet as that of the
networking equipment to which it connects. Devices that connect to the BPS12 are likely to be the
MX250, MX1200, the LAN switch, and other BSP-12s.
All connections to the BPS12 are made at the rear side of the system. Leave space at the rear of the
system for cables and for personnel installing the system.
WarningThe BPS12 must be properly grounded (earthed). When the equipment is mounted
in an equipment rack, the rack must be connected to ground (earth). See section
5.2.1.1 on page 22 for details on the proper grounding technique.
WarningEnsure that the rack is properly mounted to the floor or has properly fitted
stabilizers so that it cannot move and will not tip over. If the rack tips over, it may
cause you bodily injury and may damage the equipment.

1. The term “rear side” refer to the side with connectors and the term “front side” refers to the side without connectors.
The side with connectors are displayed behind the equipment rack, therefore Zultys uses “rear side” to describe the side
with the connectors. See Figure 4-1 on page 15 for a view of the rear side.
24
When you mount equipment in the equipment rack, place the equipment at the bottom of the
rack if it is the only equipment in the rack. If you mount the equipment in a rack that is partially
filled, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest equipment at the bottom of the
rack. The BPS12 should generally be installed below any other systems in the rack.
5.3.3Mounting Brackets
The BPS12 main chassis is supplied with two mounting brackets that you must fasten onto the
chassis prior to installing it into a 19” equipment rack. Figure 5-3 displays the right side of the

i.Black (no light) Power, Load, and Status LEDs, in that order
j.All LEDs turn green and stay green when the batteries are fully charged
If the system batteries are not fully charged, the Power LED will turn orange. The batteries
are fully charged before shipment by Zultys. However, the batteries will discharge during
storage and shipment. The system may require up to 24 hours to fully recharge. The Power
LED will turn green when charging is complete.
DangerYou must use only the power cord supplied by Zultys when connecting this system
to ac power. If this is not suitable, contact your Zultys sales or service
representative. The power cord that is provided has a separate ground (earth)
connector, and you must insert it into a power socket that is provided with a
protective ground (earth) contact. You must not negate this protective action by
using an extension cord (power cable) that does not carry the protective grounding
conductor. Using an unauthorized power cable will void your warranty.
WarningThe power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the
power socket is located or installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
WarningZur sicheren Trennung des Gerätes vom Netz ist der Netzstecker zu ziehen.
Vergewissern Sie sich, daß die Steckdose leicht zugänglich ist.

6. Powering and Connecting the BPS12
DangerThe ac power cord provides the safety ground for the BPS12. You must keep this
cord properly connected at all times.
CautionDo not place objects on the power cord. Run the power cord so that people cannot
step on or trip on the power cord.
WarningDo not overload wall outlets as this might result in a blown fuse, overheating, or a
fire.
6.3Connecting the BPS12 to an MX250 or MX1200
This section describes the process of connecting a BPS12 load output to an MX250 or MX1200.
Connecting the BPS12 requires a Battery Power Cable.
Important Use only a Battery Power Cable supplied by Zultys to connect the BPS12 to your
MX250 or MX1200. Use of any other cable may damage your equipment, cause
bodily injury, and will void your warranty.
1.Verify that the Standby Switch is in the ‘O’ position.
CautionAlways turn off the Standby Switch before connecting the Battery Power Cable to
the BPS12. Failure to do so will damage the Cable and may damage the BPS12.
2.Connect one end of the Battery Power Cable to one of the six dc power outputs on the rear
panel of the BPS12. Figure 4-2 displays the six outputs on the panel. Each output is
equivalent. The plug on the Battery Power Cable is keyed and can be placed on the dc output
in only one way.
3.Plug the other end of the Battery Power Cable into your MX250 or MX1200.
• On the MX250, plug the cable into the –48 V, 6 A input located on the upper left corner of
the rear panel. The current that your MX250 draws from the BPS12 depends upon the
configuration of your system.
• On the MX1200, plug the cable into the –48 V, 10 A input located on the lower left corner
of the rear panel. The current that your MX1200 draws from the BPS12 depends upon the
configuration of your system.
6.4Connecting Multiple BPS12 Devices
You can connect multiple BPS12 units to increase the total battery capacity. Although this does not
increase the maximum output current, connecting multiple units increase the discharge time
proportionately by the number of units that you connect. You can connect up to five BPS12 units
for a maximum discharge capacity (at 0.6 A) of 60 Ah.
31
BPS12 Hardware Manual
To connect two BPS12 units together, plug each end of a Power Cable into a dc power output in
each unit. You can use any dc power output on each chassis when connecting the two BPS12 units
To connect a third unit into the configuration, repeat the process by plugging one end of a second
Battery Power Cable into a dc power output of the connected unit and the other end into a third
BPS12 unit. Figure 6-2 shows three BPS12 units connected together in parallel. This configuration
can provide a maximum discharge capacity of 36 Ah. You should not connect the two end systems
of the configuration; in figure 6-2, the top unit is not connected to the bottom unit.
