Product Overview
The TB130 DC Output UPS provides DC voltage to a Telephony Modem or Telephony Gateway through the use of an internal DC power supply, backed by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The TB130 DC Output UPS is an optional product that may be offered with designated ARRIS modem products, such as the TM3402 Telephony Modem. The battery can provide at least eight hours of on- hook backup time to the TM3402.
The TB130 provides a multicolor LED for visual status, and provides telemetry
to the connected device for more detailed battery status information. This
guide covers the following TB130 models:
TB130B
Installing the TB130 DC Output UPS
Your Touchstone device may be shipped with a standard power adapter, or it may be shipped with a TB130 DC Output UPS.
-
If your Touchstone device was shipped with a TB130 DC Output UPS, skip stepping 3.
-
If your Touchstone device was shipped with a standard power adapter, disconnect the standard power adapter from the power adapter connector on the back of your Touchstone device.
Note: Disconnecting the standard power adapter immediately disconnects all active phone calls and data connections. -
Locate the custom end of the TB130 as shown in the following photo.
-
Orient the white tab on the custom end of the TB130 with the slot next to the power connector on the back of your Touchstone device.
-
Insert the custom end of the TB130 into the power adapter connector on the back of your Touchstone device. Make sure the plug is fully inserted before continuing.
-
Double-check that the AC power cord is securely connected to the body of the battery unit.
-
Insert the AC plug into a standard power outlet.
As long as all of the connections for the TB130 are securely made, the TB130 provides power to your Touchstone device and charges the battery. The LED on the TB130 is steady green to show AC power is functioning normally. See “LED Behavior” below for more information.If AC power fails after the battery is fully charged, then the battery provides DC power to your Touchstone device. Once AC power is restored, the TB130 recharges the battery. The LED on the TB130 flashes green to show the Touchstone device is running on battery power. Your Touchstone device may provide further information about power status. See the User Guide for your Touchstone device for details.
Wall-Mounting the TB130
Use this procedure to wall-mount the TB130.
Requirements
-
* * Two screws (#10 x 1.5in wood screws or equivalent) or drywall anchors- Pencil
- Ruler
- Drill with 1/8in (3.5mm) bit (for wood screws; if using drywall anchors, see the packaging for correct drill size) and driver bit
- Level
Action
To wall-mount the TB130:
-
1. Determine where you want to mount the TB130.When mounting on drywall, either uses drywall anchors or drive both screws into a stud.
-
Mark two drill points 4in (102mm) apart, vertically. Use a level to make sure they are straight.
-
Drill pilot holes at the marks.
-
If using drywall anchors, set them into the wall. If using wood screws, drive the screws into the wall.
Leave a gap of about 1/8” (3 mm) between the screw head and the wall. -
Orient the TB130 as needed (so, for example, the AC power cord side is closest to the nearest outlet).
-
Align the mounting holes on the TB130 (shown below) with the screws, and slide the device onto the screws. Pull gently to ensure the TB130 is secure.
LED Behavior
The TB130 has a single LED, Status, for showing the charger status. The following table describes the LED patterns during normal operation:
Testing and Troubleshooting the TB130
If the LED is red, there is an internal problem with the TB130. Follow these steps to test the backup system.
- Pick a time when you do not expect phone calls or need to use the broadband Internet connection. This test may remove power to the Telephony Modem or Telephony Gateway.
- Disconnect the DC power cable from the Telephony Modem or Telephony Gateway, then re-insert it. This removes power to the modem. If the LED turns green, the problem was transient. The modem may download new firmware to the TB130, if available.
- Disconnect AC power and allow the device to run on battery power. The device shuts down data services to preserve the battery for phone calls. Depending on the battery condition and the connected device, it may take up to 9 hours to completely discharge the battery.
- Watch for the TB130 Status LED, and the Power LED on the Telephony Modem or Telephony Gateway, to turn off.
- Wait one more minute, then reconnect AC power. If the TB130 Status LED is still red, there is a problem with either the battery itself or the internal charging system. Replace the TB130, and recycle the old unit.
Note: The TB130 battery should last 6 to 8 years under normal operating conditions.
