SAFETY NOTICE

BEFORE APPL YING POWER to the System, verify that the Global Battery Pack (GBP) is properly configured for the user’s particular application.
WARNING’
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES IN EXCESS OF 230 Vdc MAY BE PRESENT WHEN COVERS ARE REMOVED. QUALIFIED PERSONNEL MUST USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN· SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT. CIRCUIT BOARDS AND OUTPUT VOLTAGES MAY ALSO BE FLOATING ABOVE {BELOW) CHASSIS GROUND.
Installation and servicing must be performed by QUALIFIED PERSONNEL who are aware of properly dealing with attendant hazards. This includes such simple tasks as fuse verification.
Ensure that the ac power line ground is properly connected to the input connector or chassis of the GUPS unit. Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance equipment MUST be properly grounded for both personnel and equipment safety.
Always ensure that facility ac input and4 de input power to the GUPS unit is decenergized prior to connecting or disconnecting the power cables between the GBP and the GUPS unit.
In normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within the chassis. However, depending on the user’s application configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES HAZARDOUS TO HUMAN SAFETY may be normally
generated on the output terminals. The Customer/User must ensure that the output power lines are properly labeled as to the SAFETY hazards and that any inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.
Guard against risks of electrlcal.shock. during open cover checks by NOT TOUCHING any portion of the electrical circuits. Even when power is OFF, the batteries are a source of electrical energy. Use SAFETY GLASSES during open cover checks to avoid personal injury by any sudden component failure.
Always remove the battery module (also disconnect the ac and .dc input power to the GUPS unit) prior to performing any internal servicing. The battery module weighs 48 lbs. (21 . 7 kg): ensure adequate support is provided when removing the module.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Elgar Model GBP-1-102/GBP-2- 102 are extended battery packs for the GUPS 2400 product family. The GBP­ t-102, contains· one· battery” module.. and will double the backup time of the GUPS (with its one internal battery module). The GBP-2-102 contains two battery modules, and will triple the backup time of the GUPS. Multiple extended battery packs could be connected in parallel to further increase the backup time.
1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Elgar Model GBP-1-102/GBP-2- 102 have rack-mount enclosures that measure 7″ (178 mm) high by (483 mm) wide by 21″ (533 mm) deep. They contain either one or two drawer­ 19 mounted battery modules that are removable from the front of the units without use of tools.
These battery modules contain 96 series-connected cells, providing 192 Vdc output. The cells are maintenance­ free lead-acid technology, with a rating of 2.0 Vdc and 2.5 AH. The GBP-1′–102 has a single series-connected string of cells, while the GBP-2-102 has two series-connected strings connected in parallel. The output of the extended battery pack is connected parallel with the battery bus of the GUPS; therefore, the batteries of the GBP are charged and discharged with the internal battery of the GUPS.
Two connectors are provided on the rear of the GBP; they could be used either for connection to the GUPS or for connection of additional GBPs (the packs would be connected in a “daisy-chain” manner). There are no operator adjustments and no maintenance is
necessary.

INSTALLATlON

2.1 INTRODUCTION
The Elgar Models GBP-1-102/GBP-2- 102 have been fully charged and tested prior to shipment. Therefore, they are ready- for immedlate- use- upon, recelpt..
The enclosure is designed to be installed in a standard 19″ (483 mm) RETMA rack or a transit case; pem-nuts are provided for mounting optional slides.
The following checks should be made to ensure that the instrument was not damaged during shipment.
WARNING
The GBP requires a minimum two person lift!
WARNING
Hazardous voltages are present when operating this equipment.
Read the SAFETY notices on page ii prior to performing  installation, operation, or maintenance.
2.2 UNPACKING
Perform a visual inspection of the shipping container prior to accepting the package from the carrier. If extensive damage to the shipping container is evident, a description of the damage should be noted on the carrier’s receipt and signed by the driver of the carrier agent.
If damage is not apparent until the unit is unpacked, a claim for concealed damage should be placed with the carrier. In addition, the shipping container(s) and filler material should be saved for inspection. Forward a report-ot’darnaqe to the Elgar Service Department. Elgar will provide instructions for repair or replacement of the instrument. If the unit needs to be returned to Elgar, suitable shipping containers and packing materials must be used. If proper packing material is not available, contact Elgar to provide containers and shipping instructions.
2.3 PRE-INSTALLATION
INSPECTION
Perform a visual inspection of· the· unit when it is removed from the shipping container. Check for shipping damage such as dents, scratches, distortion, and damaged connectors. If the unit or container(s) show signs of rough handling, remove the covers from the unit to ensure that no loose or broken components are evident.
2.4 INSTALLATION
(178 mm) high and is designed to be installed in a standard 19″ {483 mm) wide cabinet enclosure or a The GBP is 7 transit case.
CAUTION
Install the GBP adjacent to the GUPS unit so that both enclosures are at the same ambient temperature. This is necessary to ensure proper charging temperature compensation since the temperature is monitored in the GUPS unit.

WARNING
Hazardous voltages are present when operating this equipment.
Read the “SAFETY” notices on page ii prior to performing installation, operation, or maintenance.
WARNING
To minimize shock hazard, the GBP chassis must be connected to an electrical ground. The GBP chassis is connected to the GUPS chassis through the three­ conductor interconnecting cable. Also, a ground stud is located on the rear panel of the unit.
The corresponding pins of the two  connectors on the rear panel of the GBP are connected together internal to the unit; either connector could be used to connect the GBP to the GUPS unit. The remaining connector could be, used, to connect additional extended battery packs. The GBP should be connected using the supplied cable.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

3.1 INTRODUCTION
There are no operator adjustments on the GBP and the GBP requires no maintenance during the life of the batteries. Under-optimal condlttonssthe battery life could reach 8 years; the actual life will depend on operating temperature, depth of discharge, and the number of charge/discharge cycles.
3.2 BATTERY INFORMATION, CARE AND HANDLING
The battery used in the GBP requires proper storage and recharging if it is to remain reliable.
During storage, the self-discharge of the battery results in a sulfate coating that builds up on the plates. This coating educes the effective surface area of the plates, which reduces the backup time.
Allowing the batteries to self-discharge for too long a period of time may result in problems with recharging or battery degradation.
Storing the battery at reduced temperatures reduces the level of chemical activity, thus sulphation takes longer to take place. Reasonable storage times can be found in Table 3-1 for several different temperatures. The batteries should be recharged for 24 hours after coming out of storage. Prolonged storage may require a 72- hour recharge to recover full battery capacity.
CAUTION
Failure to recharge the batteries after the storage time may result in permanent battery degradation.
3.3 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Replacement of the batteries is· easily. accomplished because of the ‘drawer­ mounted battery modules; the GBP enclosure does not have to be removed from the rack.
WARNING
Before removing a battery module, turn off the GUPS unit and disconnect – the .. ac and . dc.. input power.
