Operations Configuring External Battery Packs Tripp Lite SmartOnline INT UPS systems support the connection of external battery packs to enable extended-run UPS operation. In order for the UPS to provide efficient charging levels and accurate runtime predictions for optimal network runtime prior to sending autoshutdown messaging, external battery packs need to be configured to the UPS upon installation. There are 3 methods available to configure external battery packs to the UPS, depending on battery pack selected and quantity added to the UPS. Some battery pack configurations may require the use of more than one configuration method. EXTERNAL BATTERIES can be configured to the UPS... Battery Pack Compatibility ...AUTOMATICALLY (Using SMART Battery Packs) UPS supports automatic detection of up to 6 SMART BATTERY PACKS connected to the UPS. ...MANUALLY (Using LCD Screen) LCD screen can be used to configure NON-SMART BATTERY PACKS and any additional SMART BATTERY PACKS beyond the 6 that can be automatically detected. ...Using EXTERNAL BATTERY CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE External Battery Configuration software can be used to configure the UPS for any supported quantity of SMART & NON-SMART external battery packs. Tripp Lite SMART Battery Packs include a wired data connection that enables automatic detection and configuration for up to 6 SMART Battery Packs to the UPS. Tripp Lite Legacy NON-SMART battery packs are also supported for extended runtime applications, but require user configuration using the front-panel LCD screen or through the use of EXTERNAL BATTERY CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE.

SMART battery packs include a wired data connection that connects to the UPS Battery Pack Detection port for automatic recognition and configuration by the UPS. To configure the UPS for use with up to 6 SMART BATTERY PACKS, just connect the included POWER and DATA cables between the UPS and the first SMART BATTERY PACK. Then connect the POWER and DATA cables for additional SMART BATTERY PACKS to the one ahead of it. The UPS will automatically detect and configure up to 6 SMART BATTERY PACKS to the UPS. Adding more than 6 SMART BATTERY PACKS to the UPS SmartOnline UPS systems support automatic detection of up to 6 SMART BATTERY PACKS as described above. It is possible to configure the UPS for more than 6 SMART BATTERY PACKS by configuring all additional SMART PACKS as NON-SMART. When configuring the UPS with more than 6 SMART BATTERY PACKS, configure BPs #1-6 using the BP Detection port method listed above. Then configure SMART BATTERY PACKS #7 and above and any other supported battery pack models to be connected as NON-SMART BATTERY PACKS. See the ADDING NON-SMART Battery Packs section for more information. Adding BATTERY PACKS to the UPS manually (SMART and NON-SMART battery packs) If you're connecting more than the 6 SMART Battery Packs the UPS can automatically detect OR are connecting supported NONSMART Battery Packs to the UPS, you can configure them via the UPS front panel LCD interface. First, install the Battery Pack power connections to the UPS as described in the battery pack documentation. Then, using the SETTINGS / BASIC SETTINGS / BATTERY configuration screens, select the EXTERNAL BATT menu option (see the Front Panel Button Functions and Front Panel LCD Selection and Configuration Options sections under the Operations section for instructions on accessing this section). 1 From the SETTINGS / BASIC SETTINGS / BATTERY menu, select EXTERNAL BATT, then press NEXT .
