O-BBS 24-1080 and 48-540

Outdoor Battery Backup System

Key Features
High capacity passive hydrogen
ventilation system reliable
ventilation capacity exceeding
industry standards to minimize risk
of hydrogen build up
Two separate compartments,
battery and electronics no
risk for arcs or sparks to ignite
hydrogen gas as electronics
compartment is located below
batteries
Outer skin made of 1/8" thick
powder coated aluminum
corrosion resistant and shot gun
resistant
Heavy duty foil backed
insulation in battery
compartment minimizes
environmental impact and cooling
requirement
Multiple and flexible cable inlet
positions simple adaptability to
site conditions

Outside Plant for

Business-Critical Continuity

Description
The system includes innovative temperature control for the ultimate in reliability and long
life time. The O-BBS is state of the art engineering with extensive software analysis as well
as extensive agency testing and verification to the highest industry standards. Further
engineering focus was on installability/serviceability and cost.
DC Power
+24VDC or 48VDC configurations flexibility to connect to all common DC power
voltages
Integrated Battery Breaker Module, BBM flexibility to choose up to four feeds with
circuit breakers up to 200A each
Cooling and Heating
Thermoelectrical cooling/heating
(Peltier) high reliability and low maintenance cost
No refrigerants used environmental friendly and no requirement for specialized
refrigerant service technicians
DC operated cooling/heating, i.e. no AC power routing required saves site
installation cost and time
Low Voltage Disconnect device automatic disconnect and reconnect of Peltier unit
maximizes backup time and minimizes recharge time
Thermostatically controlled by solid state circuit high reliability and precise control

Application
Emerson Energy Systems O-BBS is a high
performance battery backup system for
outdoor applications. Usage can be for, but
not limited to:
Extended RBS/BTS/data/telecom outdoor
battery backup
Replacement of diesel generator sets
Replacement of existing battery backup
solution to increase system reliability and
battery life
Outdoor enclosure and shelter sites
