7.  Installation.

• 

Supplied with this user manual and included in the same 

documentation pendrive is the EK266*08 

‘Safety instruc-

tions’ 

document.

Before carrying out any action on the device relating to its 

installation or startup, change of location, configuration or 

handling of any kind, carefully read the safety instructions.

Compliance with the ‘Safety Instructions’ is man-

datory, with the user being legally responsible

 for 

observing and applying them. Read them carefully and follow 

the steps indicated in the order established.

• 

Before installing or commissioning the system, check that all 

of the information related to the device is available and close 

at hand, otherwise request it.
The user manual and all related information is a guide that 

should be kept for reference in case of future queries.

• 

If you do not 

fully understand the instructions, es-

pecially those concerning safety, you should not 

continue

 with installation or startup tasks, as this would rep-

resent 

a risk to your safety and that of others,

 resulting in 

possible serious injury or even death

, in addition to 

damage to the device and/or loads and installation

.

• 

Local electrical regulations and different restrictions in 

the customer’s location may invalidate some recom-

mendations contained in the manuals. Where discrepancies 

exist, the relevant local regulations must be complied with.

• 

Check that the information on the nameplate affixed to the in-

side of the device’s front door is that required for installation.

• 

The system is supplied in a completely closed cabinet, with 

a front door equipped with two locks with ratchet of the type 

with 8 mm triangular key. Other lock models can also be sup-

plied, such as key lock with doorknob for quick opening, slot 

for flat screwdriver or retractable handle with a ratchet lock or 

cams with or without key lock.

Machined base of the cabinet.

Fixed to the front door is the control panel, visible and acces-

sible from outside as an interface with the user. To perform 

any installation, startup or maintenance operation, open it by 

unlocking the two locks.

• 

Finally, it is obligatory to leave the cover or covers of 

the cabinet(s) in position and the front door closed 

after any connection and/or startup operations.

• 

The surface on which the system is to be installed 

must be properly prepared to support its weight and 

level to prevent the metal structure from having to withstand 

unnecessary and harmful mechanical torsion.
Any warping or buckling can represent a serious problem 

and hazard depending on the degree, especially for rectifier 

cabinets with batteries installed inside or accumulator cabi-

nets themselves, since the greater the weight that the struc-

ture has to withstand, the more it will suffer.
Any inclination of the cabinet with respect to the floor and/

or between the covers and ceiling can be seen optically, this 

being the lesser evil in comparison to damage caused to the 

structure.

• 

It is necessary to fix the cabinet or cabinets to a solid and 

secure surface (floor), when the battery trays are removable:

It has been found that there is a risk of overturning the 

cabinet when removing drawers containing batteries, 

with potential serious injury to the operator. 

Consequently, it is 

imperative to affix clearly visible signs to warn of the need 

to firmly secure the cabinet to the floor with elements that 

ensure total and permanent sturdiness, and to do so be-

fore starting the process of

installing the batteries

.

Proceed as follows:

ˆ

Carry out the necessary work to ensure a solid and level 

surface, with fixing points consisting of M12.5 threaded 

studs with a thread length of approx. 3 cm. 
Fig. 6 shows the machining of the base of the cabinets of 

623 x 803 mm, seen from below.

ˆ

Place the device and/or battery cabinet on the floor or 

machined surface.

ˆ

Fix the base of the cabinet to the floor through the ø 

12.5mm anchor points provided using M12.5 nuts and 

washers.

ˆ

Repeat the task for each cabinet if there are more than 

one unit.

• 

Even if the actions indicated in the previous point have 

been carried out correctly, 

never remove more than 

one tray with batteries

, 

as there is a high risk of mechan-

ical torsion of the frame itself

.

7.1. 

Look after your safety.

• 

All electrical connections and disconnections of device ca-

bles, including control cables, must be carried out without the 

presence of mains power and with the switches and protec-

tions always in standby, position ‘O’ or ‘Off.’

• 

Before physically installing the accumulators, check that the 

protections or disconnectors of the system are in the ‘Off’ po-

sition, especially that of the batteries of the device 

(Q3)

 and 

its counterpart 

(Q8) 

in the battery cabinet, when there is an 

external accumulator bank.
