Title: 93PM, Procedure for defining the correct W/Cell-values when doing the
configuration for batteries in 93PM

This field service instruction was created to serve as additional guide with its pictures and advice
when configuring batteries for 93PM UPS products.

The external (and internal) batteries shall be configured in order that the display indicates
correctly the remaining backup time. This does affect only the read-out/ indication of the
remaining backup time and not the actual backup time.

As source of information you will need the particular battery datasheet with table for constant
power discharge characteristics. Here are a couple of examples how they are built:

Table 1

Table 2

Please pay attention that, depending on the vendor, the constant power discharge table values
are given either per cell or per block/unit -values. It may be difficult to determine in which form
the readings are given but experience and thorough reading of a particular data sheets do bring
help in this. Difference is that if the values are given per cell, those are used as is for
programming the UPS characteristics. If the values are instead given per block, the readings to
be given for UPS need to be calculated separately, dividing the table value by 6.

In 93PM one can give altogether 5 values for BTR calculation.

Check the W/unit(block)- or W/Cell-values from the datasheet. If you have W/Unit(block) values
(like in the example above), convert those to W/Cell. Do a table which contains five values (e.g.
5/10/15/30/60min or 5/10/15/30/90min). The design base is that the shortest runtime is the
particular system’s specified runtime at full load conditions. If the tables do not contain enough of
readings to fulfill the remaining 4 steps then the shortest one can be chosen one step shorter.

If a system contains both internal and external batteries, the readings are created by summing
up all cells together, i.e. treating multiple different size cells as one large cell.

EXAMPLE:

Divide the marked (red circled) values in Table 1 with 6 and you´ll get the table below.

Yuasa NPW45 min 5 10 15 30 60


10,2V W/Cell 66 44 34 19 10
Table 3

Do the same for Table 2 and you`ll get the following:

CSB HRL
12110W min 5 10 15 30 60
10,2V W/Cell 201,9 137,8 109,2 62 39,8

Notice, that in table 2, there is no value for 5min, so you can just calculate the average of 4min
and 6min.

Now in the system of both, int and ext batt. We shall just add these values together:

Yuasa (5min) 66 W/Cell + CSB (5min) 201,9W/Cell = total (5min) 267,9W/Cell. The rest of the
values are calculated the same way (similarly?).

min 5 10 15 30 60
W/Cell 267,9 181,8 143,2 81 49,8
Table 5

Now the values in table 5 are the ones, which are entered into the Battery Settings:
Service  Battery  Battery : “Point 1: Lowest Watts Per Cell”. Notice, that the “Point 1” is the
last point in the table 5. In the same page you can set the number of battery strings and cells.

Here is, as example, calculation steps with more than one internal battery strings:

# of
battery strings 5min 10min 15min 30min 60min
Yuasa 5 66 44 34 19 10
CSB 110 1 201.9 137.8 109.2 62 39.8

Yuasa total 330 220 170 95 50


CSB total 201.9 137.8 109.2 62 39.8

Yuasa +
CSB total 531.9 357.8 279.2 157 89.8
