Smart-UPS On-Line External Battery Pack XBP48RM1U-LI/XBP48RM1U2-LI2
Safety and General Information
• Adhere to all national and local electrical codes.
• Changes and modifications to this unit not expressly approved by APC by Schneider Electric could void the
warranty.
• This unit is intended only for indoor use in a controlled environment.
• Do not operate this unit in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or humidity.
• Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.
• The battery typically lasts for five to eight years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient
temperatures, poor quality mains power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery life.
• The equipment is heavy. Always practice safe lifting techniques adequate for the weight of the equipment.
• Always install XLBPs at the bottom in rack-mount configurations. The UPS must be installed above the XLBPs.
• UPS models will recognize external battery packs connected to the UPS. See product manual for details.
Note: For each XLBP added, increased recharge time will be required.
• Always recycle used batteries.
• Recycle the package materials or save them for reuse.
Battery safety
• Schneider Electric uses Lithium Ion (NMC) batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with
the internal components of the battery.
• CAUTION: Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains,
wrist watches and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
• CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• CAUTION: Do not open the battery pack enclosure. Doing so will expose the cell terminals which pose an
energy hazard.
Overview
• To verify that installation of an external battery pack (XLBP) has been successful, go to the UPS display
interface.
Perform a Visible Alarm Test to determine if the XLBP is recognized by the UPS.
The green LED on the XLBP will illuminate if successful communication has been established.
• When viewing the status of an XLBP on the UPS display interface screen, the LED on the corresponding XLBP
will flash.

Smart Battery Management
Definitions
• Smart External Battery Pack (XLBP): An enclosure that contains cells and battery management electronics.
Replacement XLBP can be ordered from the APC by Schneider Electric web site, www.apc.com.
• User Interface (UI): Any interface by which a user can interact with the system. This includes a UPS display
interface.
NOTE: Do not use a battery that is not APC by Schneider Electric approved.
The system will not detect the presence of a non APC by Schneider Electric approved battery and may adversely
affect the operation of the system.
Use of a non APC by Schneider Electric approved battery will void the manufacturer warranty.
Maintenance
• Battery health monitoring: The battery energy output and voltage are monitored to assess the health of the
installed batteries when the UPS is operating on battery.
Battery health monitoring is done during a UPS Self Test, a Runtime Calibration Test, and when the UPS is
operating on battery power.
The UPS can be configured to perform periodic, automatic Self Tests.

End of useful life
• Near end of life notification: A message will appear on the UPS display interface screen when each XLBP is
approaching the end of its useful life. For configuration details refer to Replacement Notification Time and
Replacement Battery Alarm Time in the UPS Operation Manual.
• Needs replacement notification: The UPS display interface screen shows when XLBP replacement
is required. The XLBP must be replaced as soon as possible.
• Recycle the XLBP. Do not disassemble.
Recommended actions after installing new XLBPs
Refer to the UPS Operation Manual for details on Test and Diagnostics Menu options for the following tests:
• Self Test
• Runtime Test
• Visible Alarm Test
The following actions should be performed after installing a new XLBP:
• Verify that the UPS is connected to input power and output power is turned on.
• When a new XLBP is installed, verify that the XLBP is detected by the system.
– Perform a UPS Visible Alarm Tes t.
– Check that the LED on all installed XLBPs is lit.
– Allow the XLBP to charge for at least 24 hours.
• Verify that the UPS load is greater than 400 watts. This can be verified through the UPS display interface.
• Perform a UPS Self Test.
• If at the time of XLBP installation UPS input power is not available, turn on the UPS output from battery power
for 30 seconds. This will allow the UPS to detect all installed XLBPs.
Refer to the UPS Operation Manual for instructions on how to turn the UPS on and off.
• Verify on the UPS display interface that the installation dates for the replaced XLBPs are set to the current date.
The installation dates can be changed manually on the UPS display interface.
For configuration details refer to Battery Install Date in the UPS Operation Manual.
• Allow the system to charge for 24 hours to ensure full runtime capability.
• Initiate a Runtime Calibration Test through the UI.
User interface
View notifications: The status of connected XLBPs can be viewed using the UPS display interface menu options.
• XLBP Status LED: The XLBP LED illuminate pattern indicates three possible states.
–Off: XLBP IS not powering / communicating with UPS. Power / Communication cable is not connected.
–Solid red: The XLBP is not functional.
–Flashing green and solid red: user accessing the non functional XLBP from UI
•Flashing green: user accessing the functional XLBP from UI
•Solid green: Healthy functional XLBP
•Green LED flashing at a faster rate: XLBP firmware upgrade in progress
•For identification purposes each XLBP is automatically assigned a number.
To verify the number of a specific XLBP, use the UPS display interface menu options.
Select an XLBP number. The LED will flash on the XLBP assigned to that number.
