VENTED LEAD ACID STANDBY BATTERIES
Installation, operating
and maintenance instructions
Safety precautions
Batteries give off explosive gasses. They are filled with dilute sulphuric acid which is very corrosive. When working with
sulphuric acid, always wear protective clothing and glasses. Exposed metal parts of the battery always carry a voltage and are
electrically live (risk of short circuits). Avoid electrostatic charge. The protective measures according to EN 50272-2 and
IEC 62485-2 must be observed.
Note operating instructions
When working on batteries,
wear safety glasses and
protective clothing.
No smoking. Do not allow
naked flames, hot objects or
sparks near the battery, due
to the risk of explosion or
fire.
Recycling and disposal of used batteries
Used batteries contain valuable recyclable materials. They must not be disposed of with the
Domestic waste but as special waste. Modes of return and recycling shall conform to the
prevailing regulations in operation at the site where the battery is located.
Warranty
Any of the following actions will invalidate the warranty:
Non-adherence to the Installation, Operating and Maintenance instructions. Repairs carried out with non-approved spare parts.
Application of additives to the electrolyte. Unauthorised interference with the battery.
Handling
Vented lead acid batteries are
supplied in a fully charged state and
must be unpacked carefully to avoid
short-circuit between terminals of
opposite polarity. The cells are heavy
and must be lifted with appropriate
equipment.
DELIVERY AND STORAGE
Inspect for signs of damage or missing
components.
Store the battery in a dry, clean and
preferably cool and frost-free location. Do
not expose the cells to direct sunlight as
damage to the container and cover may
occur.
As the batteries are supplied charged,
storage time is limited. In order to easily
charge the batteries after prolonged
storage, it is advised not to store it more
than
3 months at 20°C
2 months at 30°C
1 month at 40°C
A refreshing charge shall be performed
after this time. Failure to observe these
Danger. Cells are heavy.
Make sure they are safely
installed. Only use suitable
transport and lifting
equipment.
Electrical hazard.
Electrolyte is highly
corrosive.
Keep flames away
Discharge any possible static
electricity from clothes by touching an
earth connected part.
conditions may result in greatly reduced
capacity and service life.
The refreshing charge shall be carried out
according
to
clause
a)
Commissioning Charge paragraph below.
Alternatively, cells can be float charged at
the recommended float voltage (see table
5) during storage.
If the batteries are supplied moist charged,
the storage time shall not exceed 2 years.
For filling, see special instructions on filling
and commissioning of moist charged
batteries.
Storage of a battery after use
Never store a battery discharged but ensure
it is perfectly charged before storage.
Storage times quoted above (before use)
also apply after use.
2
Risk of explosion and fire.
Avoid short circuits.
+
Wash all acid splash in eyes or
on skin with plenty of clean
water and seek immediate
medical assistance
Tools
Use tools with insulated handles.
Do not place or drop metal objects
onto the battery.
Remove rings, wristwatch and metal
articles of clothing that might come
into contact with the battery terminals
INSTALLATION
The electrical protective measures, the
accommodation and ventilation of the
battery installation must be in accordance
of
the
with the applicable rules and regulations.
Specifically EN 50272-2 and IEC 62485-2
apply.
The battery should be installed in a clean,
dry area. Avoid placing the battery in a
warm place or in direct sunlight.
The layout of the charging room must allow
easy access to the batteries.
Approved battery racks are recommended
for proper installation. Place the cells on the
rack and arrange the positive and the
negative
terminals
according to the wiring diagram. Battery
cells are usually installed in series.
