CHLORIDE LINEAR Plus/RM
Connection of a battery extension
Note
External battery extensions can be replaced during "normal operation"
of the UPS ("hot swappable"). However, the batteries must not be
changed when the UPS is in the status "AC Fail = On Battery".
The UPS devices Linear Plus RM 6 and 10 kVA have no internal battery.
For these units the AC power won't be maintained when an AC Failure
occurs during replacement of the first battery pack!
Note
The unit indicates an alarm condition, when the battery is not connected.
To cancel the alarm connect the battery.
Acknowledge the alarm by pushing the pushbutton
Now switch the unit to online mode by pushing the button
The unit checks the battery voltage (a beep is heard) once more and stays
in bypass till a constant battery voltage is present.
Battery maintenance must be carried out by authorised personnel observing
the necessary precautions.
• The batteries installed in the UPS and within the battery extensions
may contain electrolyte. Under normal conditions the containers are
dry. A damaged battery may leak electrolyte which can be dangerous in
contact with the skin and cause irritation to the eyes. Should this
happen wash the affected part with copious amounts of water and
seek immediate medical advice.
• Do not open or damage batteries. The released electrolyte is toxic.
• Voltage is always present on the battery contacts.
• Even when discharged a battery has the capacity to supply a high short
circuit current, which, in addition to causing damage to the battery itself
and to associated cables, may expose the operator to the risk of burns.
The following precautions should be observed when working on
batteries:
- Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
- Use tools with insulated handles.
• The voltage of a single cell of a single battery block is not dangerous.
However a number of cells or battery blocks, connected in series, can
produce hazardous voltages.
