The rest of the installation must also be maintained adequately. The maintenance tasks to be carried out shall
depend on the different elements that make up the installation, emergency generator and cabling. The battery
requires special attention.
8.1 Battery maintenance
Placing the batteries correctly so that all their elements can be easily reached facilitates maintenance.
Maintenance consists of checking the following aspects:
•
Cleanliness: The elements, their connections and supports must be kept clean and dry. It is
recommended to protect the terminals and metal connections with diluted vaseline. Do not use cleaning
products containing solvents and/or harmful substances for cleaning elements with plastic containers.
•
Connections and terminals: Check the tightness of nuts on the poles of elements as well as the
tightness of the electrical connection with at regular intervals of approximately 12 months.
•
Checking voltages: Check the voltages of elements in order to detect any possible anomalies in these.
There are sealed lead acid maintenance free batteries inside this series standard models. Battery life depends on
environment temperature and discharge/charge cycles, it will be shortened if temperature raised or deep
discharged. Periodical maintenance is required so as to keep battery in good condition.
1)
The most proper working temperature is 15 to 25 ºC.
2)
Avoid small discharging current.
for 24 hours.
3)
Charge battery for at least 12 hours every 3 months if it is free of operation. If the environment
temperature is high, charge it once every 2 months.
4)
For extended backup models, check and clean the battery connectors periodically.
If backup time has become much less than before, or there is battery fault displayed on the LCD, please contact
distributors to confirm whether the batteries are needed to be replaced or not.
Do not smoke, light a fire or generate sparks near batteries during recharging as there is a risk of fire and/or
explosion.
For cleaning, do not use synthetic material clothes or sponges. Keep batteries clean and dry at all times. Protect
them against dirt, dust, metal shavings, etc.
Efficient maintenance lengthens the service life of batteries and ensures that the unit operates correctly.
WARNING
Before replacing batteries, first please turn off the UPS and break off the mains. Remove your metallic
adornment such as finger ring, watch and so on.
When replace batteries, please use the screwdriver with insulating handle. Do not lay the tools or metallic goods
on the battery.
Never reverse or short-circuit between the battery anode and cathode.
