MEMORANDUM FOR MICC

SUBJECT: Brand Name Letter for Yuma Proving Ground Network Enterprise Center, Schneider Electric Battery Replacement

1. The Network Enterprise Center (NEC) has two Data Processing areas that require Critical Power and Cooling Solutions (CPCS). Each of these areas are protected by an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system. Both of these UPS systems are manufactured and maintained by Schneider Electric under a separate service contract. The batteries modules in both of these UPS systems are in extreme need of replacement. The Manufacturer Modular Battery Replacement Service (MBRS) part numbers are listed below.

a. WMBRS32-MB-T9B6 Modular Battery Replacement Service for 32 X SYBT9-B6

b. WMBRS4-MB-T4 APC by Schneider Electric Modular Battery Service for 4 X SYBT4

2. It is imperative for system integrity and for service contract terms that MBRS is manufacturer direct replacement. The Modules and Batteries both must be new, loaded with latest and matching firmware, configured for the existing power system. This work must be performed by a qualified Field Service Engineer (FSE).

3. For the reasons listed above YPG requests the Schneider Electric Part number WMBRS32- MB-9B6 AND WMBRS4-MB-T4 be purchased to fulfill this requirement.

4. For additional concerns or technical questions, please contact Mr. Paul Harley, 928-328- 7774, paul.w.harley.civ@mail.mil.
