CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The AvayatRS9 uninterruptible power system (UPS) is a modular UPS
that contains battery modules and power control modules (referred to as
power modules). These modules plug into a rack cabinet structure
containing additional control, communication, and display functions
that enable integrated control of all power modules. The UPS is housed
in a single cabinet, with extra battery capacity housed in auxiliary
battery cabinets.
Power Modules
The pluggable power modules can be removed and replaced
(hot-swapped) without powering the UPS down if the UPS has sufficient
redundant capacity. Battery modules may also be hot-swapped for
maintenance. Power control circuitry in the cabinet senses problems in
power modules, and automatically transfers control and load to the
remaining power modules.
All power modules share the load requirements equally. For example,
three power modules are capable of supplying a total of 9 kVA. If a load
requires only 4.5 kVA, each power module supplies 1.5 kVA to the
output. If one power module is removed or for some reason fails, each of
the two remaining power modules would supply half of the load, or
2.25 kVA. In other words, redundancy exists when the load can be
supplied by less than all of the installed power modules.
Battery Configurations
The Avaya RS9 UPS has two different options for additional battery
configurations:
SExternal Battery Module Cabinet (EBMC) - this cabinet is recommended
for applications that require less than one hour of run time. One
EBMC can be connected to the UPS.
SExtended Battery Cabinet (EBC A through F) - this cabinet is recommended
for applications that require more than one hour of run time. Up to
two EBCs can be connected to the UPS.

Battery Charger Modules
NOTE One battery charger module is required whenever one or two EBCs are used.
A 9 kVA UPS system with 13 or 14 battery strings also requires one battery charger
module.
The optional battery charger module is designed to provide additional
current for faster recharging of UPS battery modules in systems with
many batteries. It is capable of providing up to 20 amperes of current for
optimum charging, based upon the condition and number of batteries in
the system.
The battery charger module is similar in appearance to a power module.
The primary difference is the light-purple colored front label. It can be
plugged into any UPS cabinet slot above the battery modules.
The battery charger module operates in automatic modes within the UPS
cabinet under control of the UPS power modules. It communicates
through a controller area network (CAN) bus with the power modules.
The power modules monitor and control the battery charger. Alarm
conditions detected by the battery charger module are logged and
announced by the UPS system (see “Alarm Log” on page 38). Normal
output voltage is 133 Vdc.
Safety Warnings
Read the following precautions before you install the UPS.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION SETUP
This chapter explains how to setup and install the Avaya RS9 cabinets:
SClearances and location requirements
SUPS Setup
SMoving the cabinets
Equipment Clearances
All cabinets require the following clearances to allow for servicing and
adequate ventilation:
SFromthesidepanels: 6I(15.2 cm)
STop and back: 12I(30.5 cm)
SFront: 36I(91.5 cm)
If flexible conduit connects the UPS to the service input and load
distribution panels, you may be able to gain access for servicing by
moving the UPS. If this is the case, you must still leave 12I(30.5 cm)
clearance at the back and 6I(15.2 cm) at the sides of the UPS for
ventilation.
NOTE Do not block the ventilation holes on each side and the back of the unit.
Location Requirements
Install the Avaya RS9 UPS as close as possible to the equipment or
the load distribution panel it will protect. If this distance is more than
25 ft (7.6m), transient noise can reappear in the electrical distribution
system.
If a separate battery cabinet is installed (either an External Battery
Module Cabinet or Extended Battery Cabinet), the battery cabinets must
be adjacent to the Avaya RS9 UPS.

Installation Setup

UPS Setup
The Avaya RS9 UPS is shipped in a carton on a shipping pallet. Power
and battery modules are shipped in separate boxes on another pallet.
NOTE Do not attempt to lift the cabinet by the module shelves or other convenient
edges or panels.
CAUTION
Do NOT lower the casters or attempt to move the cabinet with the power or battery
modules installed.
1. Lower the four cabinet casters (one at each corner of the
cabinet base) by using a 1/2Ihex-style socket wrench to turn
each bolt clockwise.
2. With all casters fully extended, carefully roll the cabinet down
the ramp and to its intended operating location.
3. Turn all four caster bolts counter-clockwise until the cabinet
rests on the floor. Place a plastic cap into each bolt access hole.
NOTE If the floor is uneven and the cabinet is tilted or unstable, you may need to
place a thin steel plate under a corner. Do not use the caster bolts to level the
cabinet.
If you ordered an optional battery cabinet (either EBMC or EBC
A through F), continue to “Battery Cabinet Installation” on page 19.
If you do not have a battery cabinet, continue to “Electrical Installation”
on page 11 to hardwire the UPS.
