All Rights Reserved.10640205 February 2009Installing the Battery Temperature Sensor (if batteries are fitted)This section applies to APS3-059, APS3-061 and APS6-059 dc power systems only.Each APS3-059, APS3-061 and APS6-059 dc power system is supplied with a batterytemperature sensor and standard 2m (6.5 feet) long cable (factory-fitted to the sensor). Longercables are available from your local Eaton dc product representative or you can make upyour own. We strongly recommend limiting the maximum cable length of the batterytemperature sensor to 20m (65 feet) because of noise considerations.Connecting the Battery Temperature Sensor CableThere are two screw-clamp terminal blocks at the rear of APS3-059, APS3-061 and APS6 059dc power systems for terminating the battery temperature sensor cable, the two terminalblocks are labeled TEMP SENSOR (+) and TEMP SENSOR (-).• Terminate the Black / White wire at TEMP SENSOR (+) and the Black wire at TEMPSENSOR (-).• To ensure reliable connections at the battery temperature sensor terminal blocks, torquethe clamp screws 0.4 – 0.6Nm (3.5 – 5.3 lb-in).• Use cable-ties (not supplied) and the provided cable-tie holes on the cable supportbracket to tie down the battery temperature sensor cable. On APS3-061 dc power systems, there is a hole on the battery cable clamp bracket, to tiedown the battery temperature sensor cable.Mounting the Battery Temperature SensorThe battery temperature sensor is designed to measure the average ambient temperaturearound the batteries. It is important to mount the battery temperature sensor at a location thattruly reflects the average ambient temperature of the batteries. Attaching the batterytemperature sensor to the battery stand (above the middle batteries) may provide the mostreliable temperature reading.If possible, avoid:• Placing the battery temperature sensor on top of battery cases.• Attaching the battery temperature sensor to battery cables, terminals or interconnectingbars.• Exposing the battery temperature sensor to direct sunlight and drafts from the air-conditioning system or open windows.• Running the battery temperature sensor cable along power or earth cables.Connecting the APS DC Power System to the AC SupplyAPS dc power systems can be connected to single-phase (L-N), two-phase (L-L), three-phase(L-N) and three-phase (L-L) ac supply systems. Fused ac sockets (one per rectifier) areavailable for connecting the APS dc power system to the ac supply. These fused ac sockets arelabeled K1 to K3 on APS3 and K1 to K6 on APS6 dc power systems. AC supply socket K1powers Rectifier 1, etc. No ac power cords are supplied with APS dc power systems.AC Supply RequirementsAC Power Cords – The ac power cords (supplying the APS dc power system) must besuitably rated for the environment and ac distribution system. In addition, these ac powercords must be approved and installed to comply with local wiring regulations. (SeeSpecifications on page 28 for ac power cord specifications.) The maximum length of each acpower cord should not exceed 3m (10 feet), unless local wiring regulations permit otherwise.
