Pre-installation Procedures Before installing the wire harnesses, use lockout and tagout safety Lockout/Tagout the UPS procedures for the UPS or any attached equipment, such as high-voltage power supplies. If possible, disconnect the main output lead from the battery string to the load. Voltage is present in the battery cabinet even after disconnecting it from the main load. Use caution when Electrical working with the batteries. Hazard Determine battery Before installing the harness wire

Pre-installation Procedures Determine what connections you need to make: 1. If you are installing harnesses in one cabinet, connect the following: • one positive 1/2-fuse bus (+ 1/2) connector • two positive 1/2-midpoint (+ 1/2) connectors • one negative 1/2-fuse bus (- 1/2) connector 2. If you are installing harnesses in two cabinets, connect the following: Cabinet A: • one positive 1/2-fuse bus (+ 1/2) connector • two positive 1/2-midpoint (+ 1/2) connectors Cabinet B: • two negative 1/2-fu

Install the Wire Harnesses Before you attach the wire harnesses to the batteries, install a tab washer on the positive terminal of each battery to be managed. How you install the tab washer depends on whether the terminal bolt is embedded in the battery. How to install the tab Do not disturb existing battery connections. Place the tab washers on non- washers and nuts on top of the bolt thread extensions of the embedded terminals existing battery connections. You must provide your own Note

Install the Wire Harnesses How to install tab washers on embedded Verify that the string is an open circuit before working battery terminals with the batteries. Electrical Hazard 1. Remove the bolt from a battery. 2. Place the ring terminal on the existing battery connection, directly under the hex-head of the bolt. 3. Replace the bolt in the battery, and adjust its torque according to the battery manufacturer’s specifications. 4. Coat the tab washer and nut with approved antioxidant grea

Install the Wire Harnesses Prepare the harness To prepare the harness wires: wires 1. Measure the length of each wire so that it will reach from the positive terminal on its battery to the battery connector on the rear of the Battery Management System, adding a ‘service loop’ that will permit one repair of the wire without having to replace it. 2. For an APC Silcon unit, measure wires to connect to the fuse bus and midpoint bus located on the inside roof of the battery cabinet. See “Determin

Secure the Wire Harness Secure the harness to the rack or cabinet to prevent damage to the wires or personal injury by people tripping on them. Warning Secure the battery wires After the battery wires are connected, secure the harness wires. 1. Using the 4-inch wire ties, attach the battery wires to the battery straps. Attaching the wires too tightly could damage their insulation. Caution 2. Using the 8-inch wire ties, secure the harness to the enclosure to prevent wire damage. Wire Harnes
