4)  Connect the AC line cord from the power supply to the appropriate AC receptacle. 
 
5)  Insert the battery plug from the battery wiring harness into the mating BATTERY 
receptacle on the front panel of the inverter module.                     
      
6) Insert the temperature sensor plug into the mating TEMP SENSOR receptacle on 
the front panel of the inverter module.  The body of the temperature sensor probe 
should be placed between two of the battery cases in the enclosure. 
 
7)  If the indicator light option has been provided with the enclosure, the plug on the 
indicator wire harness should be inserted into the CABINET INDICATORS 
receptacle. 
 
8)  Alarm monitoring and serial status reporting may be implemented if optional alarm 
and serial communications firmware and hardware have been installed in the power 
supply.  Refer to the OPTIONS section of this manual for further information. 
 
Initial installation and wiring is now complete. 
 
Battery Placement and Wiring: 
 
Proper installation and wiring of the batteries is critical to the long-term backup capability of 
any power supply system.  Gelled electrolyte, valve regulated batteries are recommended 
for use in outdoor cable TV broadband UPS and power supply applications.  All batteries 
should be tested and fully charged prior to installation. 
 
In light of the specialized handling and connection requirements for batteries, only trained 
personnel should install batteries in an enclosure.  Personnel must always employ 
appropriate safety equipment (goggles or face shields, insulated gloves, etc.) and only use 
fully insulated tools for tightening hardware on the battery terminals.  Additionally, proper 
lifting tools and techniques must always be used during battery installation to avoid 
personal injury or equipment damage. 
 
Care and Feeding of Batteries:  Once installed and connected, batteries must not be 
allowed to sit idle without receiving a charge.  The power supply must be started, even if at 
minimum load, and allowed to charge the batteries.  Initial charging to ensure full reserve 
time may require as long as seven days to accomplish.  Batteries connected to an idle 
system without receiving a charge can be irreparably damaged, thereby requiring 
replacement before the system can be fully commissioned into service. 
 
The charging requirement becomes a special consideration when the accessory Battery 
Balance Manager is integrated into the cabinet installation.  The BBM Plus product may be 
connected only when the power supply is fully operational and capable of charging the 
battery.
