Lucent Technologies Supplemental Battery Stand J85504D-1 List 16
6 - 6 Installation Procedures
Issue 2 September 2000
11. Install the battery covers to protect the battery terminals. Battery
covers are ordered separately for the 12IR125 batteries and are
provided with the 12IR125LP and C11 batteries.
12. Determine the appropriate charging procedures before connecting
the batteries to the plant bus work. (See specifications provided
with the plant for plant bus work torque requirements.)
Placing a
Battery String
Into Service
Before connecting parallel strings together or individual strings to the
plant bus, make the following voltage measurements:
1. Measure across each string to verify that the batteries are
connected properly and that the polarity is correct. The string
voltage should be 24 or 48 volts as determined by wiring option
chosen (see "Connections" in Section 5).
2. Measure across the plant charge and discharge battery buses. The
voltage difference between the string and plant should not exceed
0.05 volts unless the plant is at 0 volts because the chargers are
turned off. If a larger differential exists, the string should be
charged at the plant voltage (or the plant voltage lowered) until the
voltage differential is less than 0.05 volts. This should prevent
arcing during the final connection.
3. After the battery strings have been connected to the plant bus for
one hour, make the final reading to record voltages of individual
batteries or strings. Record these in the Installation Battery Report
(see battery product manual).
Caution
Do not connect the stand to the plant bus until instructed to do so.
