5Making Electrical Connections
5.1 Important Safety Instructions
DANGER! Adhere to the “Important Safety Instructions” presented at the front of this document.
5.2 Wiring Considerations
All wiring should follow the current edition of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved National Fire Protection
Association's (NFPA) National Electrical Code (NEC), and applicable local codes. For operation in countries where the NEC is not
recognized, follow applicable codes.
For wire size, crimp lug, and general wiring recommendations; refer to System Application Guide SAG588820400100,
SAG588820400150, SAG588820400200.
5.3 Access Covers
You may remove the front access cover(s) from the battery rack system to facilitate wiring and battery installation. When electrical
connections and battery installation are complete, reinstall all covers that were removed before operating the battery rack system.
5.4 Battery Rack Box Framework Grounding Connection (Frame Ground)
The battery rack box framework must be properly grounded.
For grounding requirements, refer to the current edition of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved National Fire
Protection Association's (NFPA) National Electrical Code (NEC), applicable local codes, and your specific site requirements.
A customer's grounding network lead can be attached to the top of each battery rack box framework. Provision is made for installing
a lead with a two-hole lug that has 1/4" bolt clearance holes on 5/8" centers. Refer to Figure 5.1 for locations. When using 1/4-inch
hardware, recommended torque is 84 in-lbs when a standard flat washer and lock washer are used.
Note! Remove any tape from hole locations before installing lug.

5.5 Battery Disconnect Circuit Breakers External Alarm Connections
The battery disconnect circuit breakers are factory wired to an alarm card located at the top of the box framework. The alarm card
provides resistive battery and Form-C relay contacts for connection to external alarm circuits.
If any battery disconnect circuit breaker is in the OFF position, resistive battery is provided at terminal 1 of J3 on the alarm card. Also,
relay contacts open between terminals 2 and 3 of J3 and close between terminals 3 and 4 of J3 located on the alarm card. Refer to
Figure 5.2.

5.6 Battery Connections to Associated Power System
Lug-terminated battery leads must extend from the termination busbars located at the top of the battery rack system to the battery
busbar and battery return busbar of the associated power system. Refer to the documentation provided with the power system for
connections to the power system. The termination busbars in the battery rack system are provided with 3/8” clearance holes for
installation of customer provided two-hole lugs with 1” centers. Customer must provide lug mounting bolts, washers, and additional
hardware. Refer to Figure 5.3.
Procedure
1. Remove front and rear protective covers.
WARNING! Observe correct polarity when making connections. Reversing polarity may result in damage to batteries, power
system, and loads.
2. Connect the positive (+) leads to the GROUND/RETURN termination busbar.
3. Connect the negative (-) leads to the -48V Battery (Supply) termination busbar.
4. Torque all connections. Recommended torque is 180 in-lbs when using 3/8” bolts with a Belleville lock washer and 300 in-lbs
when using 3/8” bolts with a standard flat washer and lock washer.

6Installing Batteries
6.1 Important Safety Instructions
DANGER! Adhere to the “Important Safety Instructions” presented at the front of this document.
DANGER! Batteries are heavy (up to 151 lbs.). Two people are recommended for lifting and placing batteries in lower battery
trays (trays below waist height). A battery lift is recommended for lifting and placing batteries in higher battery trays (trays
above waist height).
6.2 Battery Manufacturer Information
Refer to System Application Guide SAG588820400100 for specifications and manufacturers of the batteries to be installed in this
battery rack system.
6.3 Installing Batteries into the Battery Trays
Note! Spacers are provided on the rear wall and front cover of each tray to ensure separation between the batteries. Ensure
batteries are pushed against the rear wall with the spacers between them. For certain batteries of shorter length, shims are
required as shown in Figure 6.1. A battery spacer shim kit is available for this application. See SAG588820400100 for
ordering information.
Note! A battery retainer kit is required to accommodate batteries with a taller height or longer length. See SAG58820400100
for batteries that require this kit and for ordering information.
Procedure
1. Turn OFF all battery disconnect circuit breakers (located on the front of the box framework, adjacent to each battery tray).
2. Remove the front cover from each battery tray. To do so, remove the four (4) 3/8-16 x 1” bolts and two (2) 1/4-20 x 3/4” bolts
with associated washers.
3. Slide batteries into the tray, with the battery terminals toward the front as shown in Figure 6.1. Slide batteries into the tray as
far as they will go. Lower the battery retention bracket as required. See Figure 6.1. If a battery retainer kit is required, replace
the battery retention bracket with the battery retention bracket supplied in the battery retainer kit. See Figure 6.2.
4. Connect three links supplied by the battery manufacturer between pairs of battery terminals as shown in Figure 6.1. Use
hardware furnished by the battery manufacturer. Torque hardware to battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
5. Ensure the battery cable ends in all trays are insulated with sleeving before performing the next step.
DANGER! When batteries in one tray are connected, the battery cables in all trays will be energized. Remove sleeving from
and connect one cable at a time. Do not allow cable end to contact the battery tray or equipment rack.
WARNING! In the next step, observe correct polarity. Connect only cable labeled “+” to battery terminal labeled “+”.
Likewise, connect only cable labeled “–” to battery terminal labeled “–”.
6. Connect the cables found in the battery tray to the respective battery terminals, “+” to “+” and ”–“ to “– “. Observe correct
polarity. Refer to Figure 6.1. Torque battery connections to battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for any remaining battery trays.
8. Reinstall the front cover for each battery tray. See Figure 6.1. If a battery retainer kit is required, do not reuse the front
cover. Replace the front cover with the front cover supplied in the battery retainer kit. See Figure 6.2.
