INSTALLATION:
Purpose:
Describes how to mount the BBS2000 System in an enclosure.(The BBS2000 system
components can be mounted in a single external cabinet or in the existing traffic cabinet).
EXTERNAL MOUNT:
The factory supplied external cabinet can be bolted onto the existing or a new traffic cabinet. It can also be 
mounted on a concrete slab or be pole mounted. To make installation easy for the contractor, OnLine 
Power can provide a separate base for cabinet installation on a concrete slab, bolts and hardware for 
attaching to the side of a traffic cabinet, bushings for wire ducts and brackets for pole mounting along with 
all required accessories including mechanical hardware and electrical wiring could be supplied as an 
option. External outdoor cabinets such as the BC100 or BC80 are weatherproofed and provided with an 
internal exhaust fan that is temperature controlled, an intake filter that can be cleaned or replaced, a three-
point lockable handle with dual keys and a unique internal keyed lock. The factory-supplied cabinet meets 
or exceeds the requirements of various NEMA classifications. 
INTERNAL MOUNT:
The BBS2000 components can also be mounted inside an existing NEMA, 332 or various other traffic 
cabinets. The special Swing Tray, designed to hold the four batteries, is easily mounted inside an existing 
332 type or other equivalent cabinets using the hardware that is provided or batteries can be shelf mounted 
in a NEMA or equivalent cabinet. The BBS2000 can be bolted into an industry standard 19” rack using the 
supplied brackets, or it can be shelf mounted in a NEMA type enclosure. The MBS/PTS supplied with or 
without optional generator switch can be shelf mount or 19” rack mount.

Caution
1. Wear protective clothing and eye wears. For all voltage battery systems, wear
rubber gloves and boots.
2. Remove rings and metal wristwatches or other metal object and jewelry. Don’t
carry metal objects in your pockets where the objects can fall onto the batteries 
or into the electronics or battery cabinet. 
3.
Tools must have insulated handles and must be insulated so that they will not 
short battery terminals. Do not allow a tool to short a battery terminal to another 
battery terminal or to the cabinet at any time. Do not lay tools or metal parts on 
top of the batteries and do not lay them where they could fall onto the batteries 
or into the cabinet.
