8.  MAINTENANCE, WARRANTY AND SERVICE.

8.1.  BATTERY MAINTENANCE.

•

Pay attention to all of the safety instructions concerning 

batteries indicated in section 1.2.3 of the EK266*08 manual.

•

The service life of the batteries directly depends on the 

ambient temperature and other factors such as the number 

of charges and discharges, as well as their depth. Their 

service life is designed to be between 3 and 5 years if the 

ambient temperature to which they are exposed is between 

10 and 20  °C. Different types of battery with different 

service lives are available upon request.

•

SLC  X-PERT series UPSs require minimum upkeep. The 

batteries used in the standard models are lead acid, 

sealed, valve regulated and maintenance free. The only 

requirement is to charge the batteries regularly to extend 

their life expectancy.

While the UPS is connected to the mains supply, whether or 

not it is running, it will keep the batteries charged and also 

offer protection from overcharging and deep discharge.

8.1.1.  Notes for the installation and replacement of 

batteries.

•

If it is necessary to replace any connection cables, 

original materials can be purchased through our 

T.S.S.

 or 

authorised distributors. Using inappropriate cables can lead 

to overheating in connections, resulting in a fire hazard.

•

Inside the device, there are permanent dangerous 

voltages even without mains supply present through 

its connection to the batteries and especially in UPSs where 

the electronics and batteries share a box.

Also take into consideration that the battery circuit is not 

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

with dangerous voltages between the battery terminals and 

the earth terminal, which is in turn connected to earth (any 

metal part of the device).

Repair and/or maintenance work must be carried out by our 

T.S.S.

 except for the replacement of batteries, which can 

be performed by qualified personnel familiar with them. No 

other person should handle them. 

•

Depending on the configuration of the UPS, certain actions 

need to be carried out before handling the batteries:

ˆ

Devices with batteries and electronics sharing the 

same box.

–

Shut down the loads and device completely.

–

Disconnect the SLC X-PERT from the mains.

–

Open the device to access the interior.

–

Remove the fuse or internal battery fuses.

–

Release the battery holders and replace the 

batteries.

–

Perform the above steps in reverse to return the 

device to how it was at the start, including startup.

ˆ

UPS with batteries and electronics in separate boxes.

–

Shut down the loads and device completely.

–

Disconnect the SLC X-PERT from the mains.

–

Disconnect the battery module from the UPS.

–

Open the battery module to access the interior.

–

Remove the fuse or internal battery fuses.

–

Release the battery holders and replace the 

batteries.

–

Perform the above steps in reverse to return the 

device to how it was at the start, including startup.
