8.  MAINTENANCE, WARRANTY AND SERVICE

8.1.  BATTERY MAINTENANCE

•

Pay attention to all of the safety instructions relating to the 

batteries and indicated in chapter 1.2.3 of the EK266*08 

manual.

•

The useful life of the batteries depends directly on the am-

bient temperature and other factors, such as the number 

of charges and discharges, as well as the depth of these. 

Their design lifetime is between 3 and 5 years if the am-

bient temperature to which they are subjected is between 

10 and 20ºC. On request, batteries of a different type and/

or design lifetime can be supplied.

•

The 

SLC CUBE4

 series UPS requires a minimum level of 

maintenance. The batteries used in standard models are 

sealed lead-acid, valve-regulated and maintenance-free. 

The only requirement is to charge the batteries regularly to 

extend their life expectancy.
As long as the UPS is connected to the supply network, 

whether or not it is in operation, it will keep the batteries 

charged and will also provide protection against over-

charging and deep battery discharge.

8.1.1.  Notes for installing and replacing the batteries

•

If a connection cable must be replaced, purchase original 

materials through our 

T.S.S.

 or authorised distributors. The 

use of unsuitable cables can lead to overheating in the con-

nections that could pose a fire risk.

•

There are permanent dangerous voltages inside the 

unit, even without mains supply present, due to its 

connection with the batteries, and especially in UPS units 

where the electronics and batteries share the same box.
Also take into consideration that the battery circuit is not 

isolated from the input voltage, so there is a risk of dis-

charge with dangerous voltages between the battery ter-

minals and the earth terminal, which in turn is connected to 

the earth (any metal part of the unit).
Repair and/or maintenance work must be carried out by the 

T.S.S.

, except for the replacement of batteries, which can 

also be carried out by qualified staff who are familiar with 

them. No other person should handle them. 

•

Depending on the UPS configuration, certain actions will be 

carried out before handling the batteries:

ˆ

Units with batteries and electronics in the same box.

–

To stop the loads and the unit completely.

–

Disconnect the 

SLC CUBE4

 from the mains.

–

Open the unit in order to access the inside.

–

Remove the internal battery fuse or fuses.

–

Proceed to replace the batteries, after releasing 

their holders.

–

Proceed in the reverse order to leave the unit as it 

was at the beginning, including start-up.

ˆ

UPS with batteries and electronics in separate boxes.

–

To stop the loads and the unit completely.

–

Disconnect the 

SLC CUBE4

 from the mains.

–

Disconnect the UPS battery module.

–

Open the battery module to access the inside.

–

Remove the internal battery fuse or fuses.

–

Proceed to replace the batteries, after releasing 

their holders.

–

Proceed in the reverse order to leave the unit as it 

was at the beginning, including start-up.
