Battery Safety Checklist
• High & dangerous voltagesare present inside the system. Only qualified personnel should perform installation and
maintenance.
• Live battery wires must not touch the TRTC UPS chassis or any other metal objects. This can cause a fire or explosion.
• Inspect the batteries once a year for signs of cracks, leaks, or swelling. Replace as needed.
• When batteries are in storage, charge them at least once every three months for optimum performance and to
extend their lifetime.
• Always replace batteries with the ones of identical type and rating. Never install old or untested batteries. Never
mix old with new batteries. Never mix the different amp hour rated batteries within one system.
• Use insulated tools during servicing.
• Remove all rings, watches, jewelry, or other conductive items before working inside the enclosure.
• Follow local regulations for the disposal of batteries. Recycling is the best method.
• Never burn batteries to dispose of them. They may explode.
• Do not open the batteries. The contents are toxic.
Stand-By Generator
Note: If the TRTC UPS constantly switches between Battery and Line modes because of line fluctuations,
the input parameters should be broadened from Normal to Generator (see Section 2.2.2 “Sense Type”)
In Generator mode, the acceptable range of input frequency and voltage is expanded to accommodate the voltage and
frequency fluctuations created by a generator or a power source of such kind.
Use a generator with electronic speed and voltage controls which typically produces the Total Harmonic Distortion in
% (THD) to be less than 10%. Generators with mechanical governors can force the system to run continuously in
Battery mode.
Before installation, compare the generator’s output voltage to the TRTC UPS’s input voltage requirements as listed on
both nameplates. To insure the system’s smooth operation, use a generator capable of supplying 2X or twice as much
power as required by the total load.
Unpacking and Inspection List
Carefully remove the TRTC UPS from its box. Inspect the contents and make sure the following items are included:
• One TRTC UPS System.
• One plastic bag containing the following:
• Temperature sensor probe cable with 3-pin connector and extension cord.
• Installation, Operations and Maintenance manual.
The Auto Transfer Switch (ATS) and all the associated wiring & hardware required for installation is supplied in a
separate box.
Tip: If any items are missing or damaged, contact Manufacturer and the shipping company at once.
Most shippers have a short claim period.
