1.1. GENERAL

Read this section and this manual before starting work on any part of the system.
When working on live equipment (batteries are always live), a second person who is aware of
all safety precautions and emergency actions should be present at all times.
It is the responsibility of each individual to be aware of national legislation, local legislation
and site rules governing safety and working practices. If in doubt ask.
Use only good quality insulated tools and accessories, properly maintained and calibrated
instruments, and suitable and adequate supports and lifting equipment.
It is essential that all safety instructions are strictly observed.

Note A note in this style is used to emphasise an important point in the text

CAUTION : USED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT

WARNING : A WARNING IS USED TO ALERT PERSONNEL TO


HAZARDS TO PERSONAL SAFETY.

Installation, maintenance and repair of the equipment and batteries should only be
undertaken by trained, experienced and authorised electrical personnel.
The handling, installation and maintenance of the battery associated with this equipment must
be in accordance with the instructions and safety precautions published by the battery
manufacturer and supplied with the battery.

Page 7 of 68
CHLORIDE
INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

1.2. NATURE OF HAZARD

ELECTRICAL ENERGY can be supplied from the battery, the charging equipment, the AC
supply or the external alarm or auxiliary control terminals. The battery terminals are LIVE at
all times. A short circuit, even on a discharged battery, will result in a high current which can
cause personal injury, fire or damage to the battery or battery cables.

BATTERY ELECTROLYTE in ALL batteries is dangerous and can cause severe burns if
allowed to come into contact with the skin or eyes. It will also attack clothing and some paint
finishes and metals. NICKEL CADMIUM batteries contain potassium hydroxide (Caustic
Potash) solution.
HYDROGEN and OXYGEN are given off at the cell plates during charging and can be
present at other times, particularly if cells are moved or shaken. Hydrogen in conjunction with
air or oxygen can be explosive in the presence of sparks or flame.
In sealed cells the amount of gas produced is reduced by the use of restricted charging
techniques. If sealed cells are over charged hydrogen and oxygen will be released to the air
via the pressure vent.
Battery cells or cellblocks can be very heavy and often have to be moved to positions with
difficult access. When working on batteries with many cells or blocks, muscle strain may
occur suddenly or after battery installation is complete. The immediate results and long term
effects can be dangerous and painful.

1.3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Use only insulated tools, particularly when connecting a battery. Stand on a rubber mat.
Personal effects of metal such as rings, watches, bracelets and necklaces which may cause a
short circuit and metal objects (pens, tools etc) which may fall from open pockets while
bending over batteries or chargers should be removed.
Transfer to MAINTENANCE MODE (See Section 5) before working on the equipment.
If it is necessary to make adjustments with the equipment connected to the AC supply and/or
the battery, remove only those protective covers which are absolutely necessary for access.
Always use eye protection and rubber gloves when handling cells. Handle cells with care,
ensuring they are kept upright.
Use properly constructed staging or platforms as a resting-place close to the final position and
enlist assistance with large cells or large numbers of cells. Keep the back straight and upright
when lifting cells. Use only proper lifting techniques.
Do not smoke. Do not use open flames. Avoid creating an arc or sparks when working on this
equipment. Avoid wearing clothing which is susceptible to discharge of static electricity.
After work is complete, refit all protective covers and close and lock all doors.

1.4. EMERGENCY ACTION AND TREATMENT

ELECTRICAL SHOCK - Immediate action is essential. Severe electric shock may affect
heart action and breathing.
Make sure it is safe to approach. If the casualty is in contact with a live conductor, isolate by
switching off the supply. See section 5 "EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN".
If this is not possible, or it is doubtful whether the system is electrically isolated, stand on dry
insulating material and pull or push the casualty clear using dry insulating material, e.g. wood,
plastic, fabrics etc.
If necessary give artificial respiration. Seek the assistance of others to summon medical
attention.
ELECTRICAL BURNS - Apply a dry sterile dressing.
ELECTROLYTE CONTACT - EYES - Irrigate the eyes with a saline solution. If saline
solution is not available wash with clean running water for at least 10 minutes
SKIN - Wash skin burns with plenty of clean water. Remove any contaminated clothing.
Cover the area with dry gauze.

IN ALL CASES SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

ELECTROLYTE SPILLAGE - These should be washed away using large volumes of clean
water or mopped up using absorbent material which should then be sealed in secure
containers and sent to a recognised chemical disposal company.
Operatives handling spillage should wear adequate clothing including eye protectors and
gloves. Electrolyte will attack many fabrics. In the event of spillage on clothing, the garments
should be removed and washed thoroughly in large volumes of clean water or discarded.

Nature of hazard.
The hazards are :

Risk of electric shock


Risk of electric burns
Risk of chemical burns
Risk of poisoning

Page 9 of 68
CHLORIDE
INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

ELECTRIC SHOCK

An electric shock from d.c. is more damaging than a shock from a.c. of the same voltage
because d.c. has the characteristics "NO-LET-GO" due to the muscles being contracted by the
single direction of flow of the current. Risk of d.c. shock between battery terminals and earth
is limited in this equipment by incorporating double wound transformers in both the inverter
and rectifier so that the entire d.c. link is floating. Anyone coming into contact with it
experiences only the equalising charge which is unlikely to cause injury. However, this
protection could be defeated if, for example, a metal tool were to fall between a battery
terminal and earth (wooden battery stands are preferred for this reason).
The system would continue to perform normally but the battery and d.c. link would be in a
dangerous condition for anyone intending to carry out maintenance work on it.
Where an earth fault detector is fitted this will raise an alarm. The principle of operation is to
verify that the d.c. positive and negative rails are respectively at symmetrical voltages with
respect to earth. Any abnormal short, even of high resistance, will disrupt this symmetry.

WARNING IF THE EARTH FAULT ALARM IS ACTIVE DO NOT CARRY


OUT MAINTENANCE ON THE BATTERY.

The other possibility for electric shock would be if a person were to come into contact with
two distant battery terminals in the same string. This possibility is avoided by arranging for
the battery layout to be configured so that the maximum distance separates the highest voltage
difference.

ELECTRIC BURNS

The prospective short circuit current from a battery is very great. So even a modest cell will
deliver over a thousand amps into a short circuit such as a metal watch strap, ring or an
uninsulated tool. The battery assembly may consist of well over a hundred cells in series in
many applications so the potential for serious injury exists.

WARNING REMOVE METAL RINGS AND WATCHSTRAPS WHEN


WORKING WITH BATTERIES. USE PROPERLY
INSULATED TOOLS.

CHEMICAL BURNS FROM ELECTROLYTE

The electrolyte is Potassium Hydroxide (Caustic Potash). It is corrosive to clothing and to


living tissue. Even minute traces can cause irritation and make holes in clothes.
Protect the eyes nose and mouth either with goggles and face mask or wear a full face visor.
Protect the body with all enclosing overalls.
Protect the hands with gauntlets.
Protect the feet with boots that have sealed seams. Stitched seams can allow seepage.
An eyewash must be available and any splashes must be flooded with copious amounts of
water or saline solution to dilute the electrolyte. Seek medical attention.
Neutralising agent must be on hand. Scatter it on any electrolyte spills.

Page 10 of 68
CHLORIDE
INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

NOTE: Lead acid electrolyte is acidic, Nickel Cadmium electrolyte is alkaline so


different neutralising agents are needed.

POISONING

If electrolyte is swallowed it will be corrosive to internal organs.


Medical opinion is divided on whether to attempt to dilute it with milk or water or to do
nothing until medical help arrives.
Therefore at the outset consult the local medical authority who would have to deal with an
emergency and post suitable notices in the battery room.
EXPLOSION

During the recharge cycle the voltage of the battery will be raised above the gassing voltage
Hydrogen and oxygen will be given off .
Risk of explosion exists when the concentration of hydrogen in air is more than 3.8%.
Therefore the battery room must be adequately ventilated. Volume flow for the required
air change can be calculated as follows;

Q = 55 x N x I ( for vented cells )

Where
Q = The required volume flow in litres / hour
N = The number of cells
I = The maximum charge current

This calculation applies to normal land based installations. Shipboard installations need twice
this calculated flow rate in order to comply with maritime regulations.
If this damages the battery casing there can be a flood of battery electrolyte with risk of acid
burns to the feet of anyone caught in the way. Therefore approach any battery explosion with
caution. The battery room must be adequately ventilated to disperse gases, particularly during
Charge mode or Boost charge. Preclude all sources of ignition. Do not smoke. Ensure all
electrical connections between cells are securing and tight to prevent sparking.

1.6. COSHH STATEMENT

2.1. DESCRIPTION 14

2.2. TOPOLOGY 14

2.3. OPERATING MODES 17

2.1. DESCRIPTION

The Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) is designed to supply AC sinusoidal, electric power
that cannot be interrupted by abnormal occurrences on the public electricity supply. It is
designed on the "double conversion" principle whereby the public supply is used to power a
battery charger in order to store energy to be used during a power cut. This DC supply is then
inverted within the equipment to a pure quality sine wave which is immune to defects on the
incoming AC supply.

2.2. TOPOLOGY

The System consists of two UPS equipments connected in parallel to share the load. Each unit
on its own is rated to support the full load. If either one fails then the surviving unit will
sustain the full load without break.

RECTIFIER/CHARGER

Converts the Primary AC supply to a regulated D.C. voltage which charges the battery,
powers the inverter and therefore the load. It operates in four possible modes.

Mode 1. FLOAT MODE. This is the normal mode. It is a constant-voltage charge mode so
battery charge current will tend to taper off to near zero as the battery becomes
fully charged. The voltage chosen is that value at which the internal losses are
compensated by the charge current into a charged battery. The battery is
maintained fully charged yet remains below gassing voltage so that the rate of
loss of electrolyte is negligible.

Mode 2. AC SUPPLY FAIL MODE. When the power to the charger is interrupted the
charger stops and without any switching taking place or operator intervention the
battery supplies the inverter and hence the load.

Mode 3. CHARGE MODE Automatically selected when the AC supply is restored.


Slightly higher constant voltage charge to shorten the time to recharge the
battery. It is controlled by two timers. Timer No.1 selects CHARGE MODE after
an AC supply fail has lasted more than a minimum specified time. Timer No. 2
terminates CHARGE MODE after a specified duration. It can be engaged or
terminated manually by an operator by means of push buttons inside the cubicle.

Mode 4. BOOST MODE Very high constant voltage charge. Intended for use at
commissioning to complete the forming process of the battery plates. It can only
be engaged manually, by an operator. It is terminated either manually or by an
inbuilt clock. For safety the battery charging current limit threshold reduced
during BOOST mode.

Page 15 of 68
CHLORIDE
INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

BATTERY

This stores energy from the charger to be used during a power cut when it will discharge to
power the inverter and load.
The autonomy of the system during a mains fail depends on the amp-hour capacity of the
installed battery.

INVERTER

Converts the d.c. power to sinusoidal a.c. power. Uses a high frequency pulse width
modulation (PWM) switching technique to achieve low distortion sinewave power while
retaining good transient response voltage regulation. Operates in the following modes.

Mode 1. NORMAL Constant voltage output regulated to ±1% for power loading between
0 and 105%.

Mode 2. OVERLOAD. 105% to 150%.of rated load. Constant voltage output but 10
minute timer initiated which upon expiring will shutdown the inverter. This is
long enough to cope with start up surges and current inrushes in the load.

Note. When the load exceeds 105% the static switch will normally transfer the load to
reserve (if available) so inverter overloads should be a rare occurrence.

Mode 3. CURRENT LIMIT. When the load is 150% or more of nominal then the inverter
changes to a constant current characteristic to protect itself. This can result in the
output voltage falling drastically. If reserve is available it will have transferred to
reserve immediately instead. If transfers are inhibited for any reason then the
inverter will continue in current limit until either the load subsides to normal or
the 10 minute timer expires.

STATIC SWITCH

The static switch is an automatic, solid state, changeover switch having a make-before-break
action so that no interruption to the load occurs. Therefore the inverter will be permanently
synchronised to the reserve in order to avoid phase jumps or even phase reversals to the load
at the instant of transfer. It monitors the operating status of the various parts of the UPS and
the logic will select one of two modes either INVERTER-TO-LOAD or RESERVE-TO-
LOAD.

Mode 4. INVERTER TO LOAD. This is the normal mode for the unit and is automatically
selected whenever possible.

Mode 5. RESERVE TO LOAD. Transfer to reserve occurs automatically when certain


specified abnormal conditions prevail. It returns to inverter 10 seconds after the
alarm conditions clear.

It has no moving parts, the active components being switching thyristors to preclude arcing
and sparking during switching for long term reliability. Note transfers can take place at any
place in the cycle, they do not have to be at a zero crossover.

MAINTENANCE BYPASS

For safety during maintenance and repair a wrap-around manual bypass is incorporated into
the equipment. It can be selected only by the operator not by the control logic. It provides
safety isolation of major internal parts for purposes of repair and maintenance.

4.1. HANDLING ON ARRIVAL

Unpack the equipment. Take care not to short circuit battery terminals together. Do not
discard keys, battery connectors or accessories when disposing of packing materials.
The cubicle keys will be in a bag taped to the cubicle door
Check the contents against the consignment note. The equipment has a rating plate normally
affixed inside the door panel at the front which will identify the cubicle. Report immediately
to the carrier and supplier if anything is missing or damaged. Delay in reporting may invalid
claims for free repair or replacement.

NOTE: The battery and equipment cubicle often arrive separately.

Page 23 of 68
CHLORIDE
INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

The cubicle and battery must be handled with care, keep them upright. Do not drop or subject
them to impact. Cubicles are often top heavy with offset centres of gravity.
The transit case is designed to be handled by a fork lift truck. Note the centre of gravity is
often offset and cubicles may be top heavy, so take care to position the lift forks safely.
The equipment may be lifted by crane. It will be necessary to pass slings underneath the
cubicle. The slings should be positioned under the extremities of the cubicle with safety straps
to prevent them slipping towards the centre when under vertical tension. Also protect
protrusions such as meters and switches from accidental damage from the lifting slings.

4.2. STORAGE

The cubicle should be stored in a clean dry environment. Although it is designed to operate in
an ambient of 0°C to 40°C it can be stored in temperatures as low as -20°C.
If it is to be stored for a long period of time some packing will be needed to prevent dirt
getting inside through grilles and openings. When storing or shipping batteries at sub-zero
temperatures the electrolyte must not be allowed to freeze otherwise mechanical damage can
occur to the plates. Freezing occurs at about -20°C. Batteries should be maintained fully
charged as this keeps the freezing point low. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

4.3. PUTTING INTO INSTALLED POSITION

The equipment will have to be lifted from its pallet and manoeuvred into position. Note that
battery cubicles are extremely heavy and adequately strong lifting gear is needed.
Once in position adjacent cubicles should be fastened to each other by means of through bolts
(these are provided inside plastic bags inside the cubicles), and to the floor using anchor
bolts. Before fitting each anchor bolt, level the cubicles for both horizontal and vertical planes
as required using incompressible shims.

The procedure for fixing the panels together is as follows:


Take the kit comprising of 4 screws and nuts (HM6 x 70mm)
Remove the 2 transfer screws on the separating panel
But the cubicles together holding the separating panel in place. The separating panel is
sandwiched between the cubicles
Take the 4 screws and open the panel doors
Put the screws through the holes in the uprights which go through the separating panel.
There are 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom. Put the nut on the screw and tighten.

INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

4.4. ELECTROLYTE / CELL OIL

4.4.1. Cells delivered filled


Check the level of electrolyte. The cells must have a level of electrolyte above the plates. If it
is not the case, adjust the level of electrolyte with distilled or deionised water to 5 mm above
the plate tops. Cells delivered filled have already the cell oil in place.

4.4.2. Cells delivered empty


Fill empty cells with electrolyte to 5 mm above the plate tops. Then add the oil with the
syringe, according to the quantity indicated in the table on the reverse of this card.
NOTE: Please, always refer to manufacturer’s manual.

4.5. CABLE ENTRIES

Refer to the general arrangement drawing for cable entry positions.


Cable sizes are not specified in this manual. The installer must assess the requirements of
each site with regard to the regulations and the relevant codes of practice.
Before making the connections set all power switches, isolators and circuit breakers to OFF.
Remove the battery fuse (if any).
The incoming cables must be secured by means of a strain relief glands to the gland plate
where they enter the cubicle. The gland plate is not pierced so a suitable hole will have to the
cut for each cable entry. The gland plate must be removed from the equipment and taken
elsewhere to be drilled to prevent swarf entering the unit. The wires are then to be routed
to their respective terminals ensuring that there is enough slack to prevent strain on the
terminal. Cable runs should be cleated at intervals of 1/2 metre to rigid structure inside the
cubicle.

4.6. TERMINAL CONNECTIONS

4.6.1. Phase rotation

The equipment requires the phase rotation to be correct for correct operation. Terminals are
labelled for that purpose.

4.6.2. Battery

The battery cable should be connected with the battery fuse removed and the battery isolator
OFF. Check and double check that the polarity of the battery connection is correct. An error
here can cause major damage to the system.

WARNING : DO NOT CLOSE BATTERY ISOLATOR OR FIT FUSES


UNTIL THE FILTER CAPACITORS HAVE BEEN PRE-
CHARGED BY THE CHARGER.

Page 25 of 68
CHLORIDE
INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

4.6.3. Neutral

Within the rectifier if no neutral-to-earth link is provided the rectifier neutral adopts the same
potential as the incoming Reserve Neutral if present. Therefore if the Reserve input has no
fixed neutral the rectifier output Phase and Neutral will float.
Note: Do not set up a neutral line that has two separate connections to earth
because this will set up an EARTH LOOP which can have the effect of
introducing noise into the rectifier output.

4.6.4. Earth

The cubicle earth bar must be grounded to a suitable earth point.


Apart from the mandatory safety protection it provides, it also acts as a drain for spurious
noise. Consequently there is a continuous leakage to earth of several tens of mA in normal
operation. Therefore Earth Leakage Trips (ELT) or RCCD on the input should take into
account this small leakage.

4.7. VENTILATION

All ventilation apertures must be kept free and clean. These systems can work in a continuous
environment within 0 to 40°C temperature range, although, ideally the ambient temperature
should be below 25°C.
The heat can be removed from the equipment room by a forced cooling ventilation system or,
alternatively, an air conditioning system.
The required air changes per hour will depend on the system rating, the heat loss and the
cooling air temperature.

4.8. BATTERY-VENTED CADMIUM NICKEL

The battery is a vented cadmium nickel type. It gives off significant amounts of gas (hydrogen
and oxygen).
A specially ventilated battery room is required.
The battery needs its electrolyte topped up routinely

However the battery is suitable for boost charging.

4.9. BATTERY INSTALLATION

WARNING: REMOVE RINGS AND METAL WATCHSTRAPS WHEN


WORKING ON BATTERIES. ALSO USE INSULATED TOOLS.

It is the responsibility of the installer to arrange suitable protection.


The installer will have to connect the inter-cell cables as shown in the battery diagram in
section 10 of this manual.
Before starting, remove the battery fuses and ensure the battery breaker or isolator is OFF.

To access the Event Log, select the item Event Log in the general menu of the equipment. The first
event of the list is then displayed. If no event has occurred yet, the message « No event » is displayed.

Every event is detailed as follows:


ƒ The concerned block,
ƒ The text of the detected fault or alarm,
ƒ The nature of the event (indicates if the event appeared or disappeared)
ƒ The date and time when the event occurred.

The scheduling and the memorizing of the events depend on the choice of the event mode memorizing
in the Event Log:
Saturable Mode:
The first memorised event corresponds to the first fault or alarms that occurred on the
equipment, after a UPS power on, or after a Even Log reset.
The Event Log is limited up to 100 events and any more events past this limit are memorized.
The classification of the events never changes.
N°1 : the first event which has occurred (oldest).
N°100: the 100th event.

FIFO Mode:
The first event corresponds to the fault or warning memorized occurred most recently.
Once the limit of 100 events memorized in the Event log, if a new event occurs, the oldest
event of the Event log will be removed and event which has just occurred will be memorized.
The classification of the events always corresponds to the order of which has occurred of the
events.
N°1 : the most recent
N°100: oldest. (if 100 recorded events).

ƒ Using a hand-held voltmeter, check amplitude and polarity of the charger output voltage,
on both chargers.
ƒ Also check amplitude and polarity of the battery voltage, on both batteries.
ƒ If all previous voltages are correct in amplitude and polarity, close both battery isolators
Q5.
ƒ Wait until both displays are correctly powered (no more question mark).
ƒ Operate an inverter reset on each inverter by the control push buttons (“Reset” part of the
LCD General Menu).
ƒ Close Q26 and Q27.
ƒ Close Q22: the inverters are now in ‘TEST’ mode. After 10 seconds, the Reserve Static
Switch will be closed (visible on the synoptic diagram of the Displays).
ƒ Using a hand-held voltmeter, check that Output Distribution is correctly powered.
ƒ On each display, check the correct display of the DC voltage (Inverter Measurement
Menu) and of the AC output voltage (AC Load Measurement Menu).
ƒ If you want to check the load transfers, proceed as follows:
¾ Turn both inverters on by the control push buttons (Push Inverter ON/OFF button
“0/1 Inverter” for 1 second, until “SWITCH ON INVERTER” is displayed on the
display): The inverters will not yet start.
¾ Press S22: INVERTER 1 will start and the Static Switch will transfer from Reserve to
INVERTER 1.
¾ Release S22: The Static Switch will transfer back from INVERTER 1 to Reserve, and

5.16.2. Maintenance procedure

Disconnecting one inverter, supposing that the load will be continuously supplied by the
other inverter (This is only possible if the total load is sure never to exceed the nominal
power of one inverter).

In this procedure, the inverter to be disconnected for Maintenance will be called


INVERTER M, and the Remaining inverter will be called INVERTER R.

ƒ Open Q26/Q27 of INVERTER M: the load is now supplied by INVERTER R alone.


ƒ On the MPPOI-03 board in the Bypass cubicle, disconnect the 10-pin flat cable coming
from INVERTER M (INVERTER 1 is connected to SK1 and INVERTER 2 is connected
to SK2 of MPPOI-03).
ƒ On the right of INVERTER M, disconnect both SUB-D25 cables, “MC” and “FC” (cables
coming from INVERTER R), from the SUB-D25 socket. Plug “MC” into “FC”. (This will
cause an Inverter Fault and a Reserve Warning to occur on the display!)
ƒ Reset the inverter alarms on INVERTER R: Inverter block and Reserve are getting normal
again on the display.
ƒ In the Bypass cubicle, open the isolating terminals X943-A or X943-B connected to
INVERTER M.
ƒ Stop INVERTER M by the control push buttons.
ƒ Isolate INVERTER M from DC side: Stop the charger, open Q3 and open Q5. Be sure
that Q4 is also open. Wait long enough to let the capacitors discharge themselves:
INVERTER M is now isolated, except the cables beyond the switches and breakers, which
may remain live.
ƒ INVERTER M is now disconnected.
ƒ Before any maintenance operation, always make sure that no more voltage is present
on any part you will have to touch.

INVERTER R goes on running normally: it can be switched OFF and ON by the control push
buttons (if Reserve voltage is present!). It is also possible to do Maintenance operation on
INVERTER R, by following the Maintenance procedures “Maintenance Procedure for a
stand-alone inverter” and “Return from Maintenance for a stand-alone inverter” here below.

Page 50 of 68
CHLORIDE
INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

Reconnecting the second inverter (INVERTER M), supposing that the load is supplied
by one inverter alone (INVERTER R).

In this procedure, the inverter which was disconnected for maintenance will be called
INVERTER M, and the inverter which supplies the load since the beginning will be called
INVERTER R.

INVERTER R is supposed to supply the load alone, without any Warning or Fault.
ƒ Energise the DC supply to INVERTER M. Wait until the display is correctly powered (no
more question mark).
ƒ Operate an inverter reset by the control push buttons of INVERTER M.
ƒ In the Bypass cubicle, close the isolating terminals X943-A or X943-B connected to
INVERTER M.
ƒ On the right of INVERTER M, disconnect SUB-D25 cable “FC” from “MC” (cables
coming from INVERTER R) and plug these cables into the SUB-D25 socket (“MC” into
“FS” and “FC” into “MS”). This will cause an Inverter Fault and a Reserve Warning to
occur on the display, and the Reserve Static Switch of INVERTER M to be opened
(visible on the synoptic diagram of the Display).
ƒ Operate an inverter reset by the control push buttons on both inverters, in order to clear all
Warnings and Faults.
ƒ On the MPPOI-03 board in the Bypass cubicle, connect the 10-pin flat cable coming from
INVERTER M (INVERTER 1 is connected to SK1 and INVERTER 2 is connected to
SK2 of MPPOI-03).
ƒ Close Q26/Q27 of INVERTER M.
ƒ Start INVERTER M: the load will be shared between both inverters.
ƒ INVERTER M is now reconnected.

INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

5.16.3. Transfer to maintenance for a stand-alone inverter

ƒ Check on the inverter display that the inverter is synchronised with Reserve, and that the
Reserve voltage is ok (Message “Synchro ” is not flashing on the synoptic diagram, and
Reserve Status = “No Warn; No Fault”).
CAUTION: If the inverter is not synchronised AND is supplying the load, or if
the Reserve supply is not ok, do not proceed because the supply of
the load could be interrupted.
ƒ Stop the inverter: the load will be transferred without a break to Reserve.
ƒ Close Q21.
ƒ Open Q23 and Q22.
ƒ Isolate the inverter from DC side: Stop the charger, open Q3 and open Q5.
ƒ Wait long enough to let the capacitors discharge themselves: the inverter is now isolated,
except the cables beyond the switches and breakers, and the complete Reserve and Bypass
cabling which may remain live.
ƒ Before any maintenance operation, always make sure that no more voltage is present
on any part you will have to touch.

5.16.4. Return from maintenance for a stand-alone inverter

ƒ Energise the DC supply. Wait until the display is correctly powered (no more question
mark).
ƒ Operate an inverter reset by the control push buttons.
ƒ Close Q22: the inverter is now in ‘TEST’ mode. After 10 seconds, the Reserve Static
Switch will be closed (visible on the synoptic diagram of the Display).
ƒ If you want to check the load transfers, proceed as follows:
¾ Turn the inverter on by the control push buttons (‘SWITCH ON INVERTER’ message
on the display): The inverter will not start.
¾ Press S22 (for INVERTER 1) or S23 (for INVERTER 2): The inverter will start and
the Static Switch will transfer from Reserve to Inverter.
¾ Release S22/S23: The Static Switch will transfer back from Inverter to Reserve, and
the inverter will stop.
¾ At the end of this test, even if the inverter is not running, turn the inverter off by the
control push buttons (‘SWITCH OFF INVERTER’ message on the display).
ƒ Close Q23.
ƒ Open Q21.
ƒ Start the inverter by the control push buttons.
ƒ The inverter is now running in ‘AUTOMATIC’ mode.

5.16.5. Global maintenance procedure

If you want to transfer both inverters simultaneously to Maintenance, in order to isolate both
inverters, please refer to the paragraphs “Maintenance Procedure for a stand-alone inverter”
and “Return from Maintenance for a stand-alone inverter” here above. All instructions
concerning one inverter have to be executed on both inverters.

5.16.6. Black start procedure

If you want to start the (parallel) inverters while the Reserve voltage is not present, you have
to use the Black Start option, on the front door display:
ƒ Power up the DC supply of the inverters, as described here before.
ƒ Wait until both displays are correctly powered (no more question mark).
ƒ Operate an inverter reset on each inverter by the control push buttons (“Reset” part of the
LCD General Menu).
ƒ Start both inverters by the control push buttons on each display: the inverters will not yet
start, as the Reserve Supply is not present.
ƒ On one of both inverters, on the General Menu of the LCD, choose the option “Black
Start”. Select ‘Yes’ and confirm by OK. Both inverters will start simultaneously.
ƒ Both inverters are now running in ‘AUTOMATIC’ mode. There is no memorisation of the
Black Start, so you don’t have to reset anything, once the Reserve Supply has come back.

Replacement of defective parts can sometimes be made by the user to restore correct
operation of the system which may then be returned to service. For this spare parts will be
required.
For continued reliability only approved, identical replacement parts may be used. Where
necessary these must be adjusted to the original set values. Chloride Industrial Systems After
Sales Service Department has records of recommended spares for all equipment.
When ordering spare parts it is essential to identify the equipment by quoting the serial
number and the design number (RB) stamped on the rating plate.

2.0 INTRODUCTION
We thank you for purchasing our reliable and long life nickel cadmium pocket plate
battery. Please read and follow the instructions given in this manual to obtain the
best performance and life from your battery. Inspect the battery at regular intervals
and use the service log sheet provided at the end of the manual for maintaining the
records. Contact Customer Service, for any additional help and guidance that you
may require.

2.1 ELECTROCHEMISTRY

The basic principle of the rechargeable battery is the conversion of electrical energy
into chemical energy and vice versa. The storage battery consists of a number of
individual cells connected in series to produce the required voltage. Each cell
consists of positive plates (containing nickel hydroxide as the active constituent)
and negative plates (containing cadmium hydroxide) immersed in a solution of
potassium hydroxide in DM/DI water with lithium hydroxide as an additive.

The simplified overall reversible electrochemical reaction given below produces a


nominal discharge voltage of 1.2 volts per cell:

Charge
2 Ni(OH)2 + Cd(OH)2 ⇔ 2 NiOOH + Cd + 2H2O
Discharge

When the cell is charged, the active materials initially present as hydroxides are
changed. The cadmium hydroxide is reduced to cadmium and nickel hydroxide
attains a higher degree of oxidation. On discharge, the process is reversed and the
active materials revert to their original state.

The potassium hydroxide electrolyte doesn’t take part in these reactions and acts
only as a carrier of ions. The lithium hydroxide additive in the electrolyte
significantly increases the life of the cell since it has a beneficial effect on the
positive electrodes. This beneficial effect is more pronounced at higher operational
temperatures.

2.2 CONSTRUCTION

The first still the most reliable electrode design for nickel cadmium batteries is the
pocket plate. The active material in each electrode is encapsulated in pockets of
double perforated, nickel plated steel strips. Several pockets are mechanically
joined together and cut in suitable lengths to form plate pieces. Both cut edges of
the plate pieces are sealed by U-section steel strips. The nickel-plated steel tab is
joined to the plate piece and the U-section steel strips by spot welding. The plate
assembly is compressed together to establish good contact between the active
material, double perforated steel strips and U-section steel strips. The U-section
steel strips and tab are the Current collectors of the plate.

2
Several plates of the same polarity are either bolted to the terminal post or welded to
the terminal post. Negative and positive plate groups are interleaved so that plates
of opposite polarities are alternated. The plate groups are insulated from one another
by insulating each plate from the next by either a combination of insulating rods and
edge insulation or grid insulation. The plate block is firmly strapped together using a
suitable number of polypropylene straps.

The cell container is of the either polypropylene or stainless steel. Matching cell lids
are made of the same material as that of the cell container. Mirror welding is
employed for thermally fusing the mating surfaces of polypropylene cell containers
and lids, while TIG fusion welding is employed in case of stainless steel cell
containers and lids. The choice of material depends on the application and operating
conditions. The polypropylene containers are translucent and completely free from
corrosion in wet and saline conditions. The assembly is compact and easy, and the
polypropylene has high impact resistance.

Polypropylene cells are assembled on steel racks with step arrangement in order to
permit visual electrolyte level maintenance checks. Alternatively, polypropylene cells
are mounted in stainless steel crates, each holding a suitable number of cells to suit
the space constrained battery boxes as in the case of mobile applications.

Steel cell are mounted in insulated wooden crates, each holding a suitable number of
cells to suit the space constrained battery boxes as in the case of mobile
applications. The wooden crates are also placed in steel racks (without the step
arrangement) for stationary applications.

3.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

3.1 ELECTROLYTE

The alkaline electrolyte (solution of potassium hydroxide in DM/DI water) is a strong


caustic agent. Wear rubber gloves, eye protection and long sleeved clothing when
working on the battery. Before working with electrolyte, make sure that water for
washing is easily available. If electrolyte is splashed on the skin or clothing, wash
immediately with water for 10 to 15 minutes. If eyes are affected, flood with water
followed by eye wash solution and obtain immediate medical attention.

3.2 KEEP FLAMES AWAY

The battery will produce a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen gases during the last
portion of high rate charging.

Do not adjust connections etc., while charging or in the first hour after charging.

Discharge any possible static electricity from clothes by touching earth connected
part.
Do not smoke in the battery room.
Keep the battery location well ventilated to prevent buildup of the oxygen and
hydrogen gases, and do not cover the battery during charging.

3.3 TOOLS
Use tools with insulated handles / surfaces.

Do not place or drop metal objects on top of the battery.

Remove rings, wristwatch, loose coins from the pockets and articles of clothing with
metal parts that might come in contact with the battery terminals.

Do not store other material on top of the battery.

After removing from storage, the battery should be discharged to an average cell
voltage of 1.0 volt at 0.2 C5 Amps, and charged as per the instructions for first
charging.

5.2 STORAGE OF NEW BATTERY IN DRY & DISCHARGED CONDITION

A dry and discharged battery can be stored for prolonged periods, around ten years.
Store the battery in a clean, dry and cool location. Cover the battery with a sheet of
plastic or similar protective cover to keep out water and shield against direct sunlight.

Do not remove the plastic film sealing the flip top vent.

Do not store other material on top up of the battery.


After removing from storage, follow the instructions for electrolyte filing and first
charging.

5.3 STORAGE OF USED BATTERY IN FILLED & CHARGED CONDITION

If the battery is going to be left idle for a long period of time, but not more than one
year, it should be removed from service and properly stored.

Top up with DM/DI water to the maximum level mark and charge the battery to a fully
charging state.

Clean the battery thoroughly, and then coat the inter-cell and inter-crate connectors
with anti-corrosion oil.

Inter-crate connectors should be removed for cleaning, and then stored in a separate
package.

Store the battery in a clean dry, and cool location. Cover the battery with a sheet of
plastic or similar protective cover to keep out water and shield against direct sunlight.

Do not store other material on top up of the battery.

After removing from storage, the battery should be discharged to an average cell
voltage of 1.0 volt at 0.2 C5 Amps, and charged as per the instructions for first
charging. However, use only DM/DI water for adjusting the electrolyte level after
waiting for at least two hours after the first charge has been completed.

6
5.4 STORAGE OF USED BATTERY IN DRY & DISCHARGED CONDITION
If the storage period is to exceed one year, the batteries should be fully discharged
at 0.2 C5 Amps, to an end voltage 0.6 volts per cell, and the electrolyte fully drained
by inverting the batteries for about 5 minutes. Use a plastic film to seal the flip top
vent.

Clean the battery thoroughly, then coat the inter-cell and inter-crate connectors with
anti-corrosion oil.

Inter-crate connectors should be removed for cleaning, and then stored in a


separate package.

Store the battery in a clean, dry and cool location. Cover the battery with a sheet of
plastic or similar protective cover to keep out water and shield against direct
sunlight.

Do not store other material on top of the battery.

Store the electrolyte in clean, air–tight plastic containers for future use. After
removing the battery from storage, follow the instructions for electrolyte filling, first
charging and installing the battery.

7
6.0 INSTALLATION

The battery should be installed in a clean and dry area.

The battery should never be placed direct on the floor where it is subject to
dampness and dirt accumulation.
Batteries do not give off corrosive gas and therefore can be installed together with
other electrical equipment.
To avoid accelerated ageing of the plastic due to ultra violet radiation, batteries using
plastic cell containers and lids should not be exposed to direct sun light for long
periods.

6.1 TEMPERATURE

Avoid placing the battery in a hot place or in front of a window.


The battery will give the best performance and maximum service life when working at
a temperature between 10 and 30 degrees centigrade.
With adequate electrolyte specific gravity, the battery will perform properly within the
temperature range – 40 to + 50 degrees centigrade.
Freezing will not cause damage to the battery.

6.2 VENTILATION

During the last part of high-rate charging, the battery gives off gas
(oxygen-hydrogen mixture)
At normal float-charge the gas evolution is very small.
The ventilation requirement of the battery as per DIN 57510 can be expressed by the
relation :

Q=55 x N x I, where Q is the quantity of air to be replaced from battery room in


litres /hour.
N is the number of cells in the battery, and I is the charging current at the end of high
rate charging.
Normally, no extra means of ventilation (exhaust fan etc.) is needed unless the
battery room is extremely small in proportion to the size of the battery.

6.3 MOUNTING AND CONNECTIONS


HBL NIFE battery racks are recommended for proper installation.
These racks are made of steel components, which are protected with alkali-resistant
paint. The step construction of the racks permit visual electrolyte level checks to be
made on all cells and greatly facilitates the maintenance activity of topping up with
demineralized water.
Battery racks are available in 2,3, or 4 steps in one or two tier configurations. Racks
can be positioned alongside each other or back to back to suit the available space in
the battery location. Ensure that the floor is level while positioning the racks.

8
All racks are supplied with insulators. However, the racks also have provision for
direct bolting to the floor.

Assemble the racks with the help of the drawing, enclosed with this manual.

Position the cells on the rack suitably so as to permit connection of the positive and
negative terminals according to the wiring diagram.

FOLLOW THE POLARITY TO AVOID SHORT CIRCUITING OF THE CELLS.

Connect the battery terminals to the equipment only after marking all the other inter-
cell and inter-row connections

ONLY NICKEL PLATED COPPER CABLE LUGS SHOULD BE USED.

NEVER USE ALUMINUM CABLES AT THE BATTERY TERMINALS.

Use the correct torque to tighten the terminal bolts as indicated below:

BOLT DIAMETER RECOMMENDED TORQUE

M 5 7.5 Nm (0.75 kgfm)


M 8 20 Nm (2.0 kgfm)
M 10 30 Nm (3.0 kgfm)

Ensure correct torque by using an appropriate torque wrench.

Improper torque will affect battery performance.

It is important that the battery is mounted firmly.

When there is a risk of crate movement as in the case of mobile applications, use
wooden or plastic wedges for arresting the movement.

9
7.0 ELECTROLYTE PREPARATION FOR FIRST FILLING

Please read and follow the safety precautions carefully while preparing the electrolyte.

The quantity of Electrolyte (if supplied in liquid form) per cell is given in the Technical
Specifications.

The quantities of solid lithium hydroxide or solid potassium hydroxide required for each
Battery, if supplied in dry & discharged condition are given in separate sheet. Use this
data as proportions for preparing the electrolyte.

1000 cc Type B electrolyte contains the following quantities of potassium hydroxide,


lithium hydroxide and DM/DI water.

Electrolyte Potassium Lithium Demineralised Cell Type


Type Hydroxide Hydroxide Water
(88-90%) (55%)

B-22, Density 268 gms. 40 gms. 890 cc Standard


1.20

B-30, 384 gms. 54 gms. 840 cc For special


Density1.28 Application(solar)

Type ‘B’ Electrolyte is a solution of lithium hydroxide crystals and potassium hydroxide
flakes in DM/DI water. The number following the ‘B’ represents the quantity of lithium
hydroxide in grams (assuming 100% assay) per litre of electrolyte.

The required quantity of D.M. Water is first into the container and appropriate quantity
of lithium hydroxide crystals are added with constant stirring. When all the lithium
hydroxide has dissolved, potassium hydroxide flakes are slowly added with constant
stirring. The solution will become hot.

After cooling to room temperature, adjust the density as required within a tolerance of
+/-0.01 by adding D.M. Water.

7.1 APPARATUS

Use only clean vessels of plastic or steel for preparing the electrolyte. Copper,
aluminium or Galvanised Vessels must not be used. Do not use accessories already
used for lead acid batteries. Transfer the Electrolyte into the cells using a clean
plastic jug. The electrolyte must not be exposed to air for long periods. Ensure that
the electrolyte does not get contaminated.

7.2 GUARANTEE CONDITIONS


Use only electrolyte approved by HBL Nife Power Systems Limited, for our Ni-Cd
batteries.

10
8.0 ELECTROLYTE FILLING

Flip open the top of the vent or unscrew the cap in case of screw type vent cap and
remove the transport seal (plastic film) if you have not already done so.

Do not completely remove the vent for filling the cells, but only flip open the top of flip
top vent cap & unscrew the cap in screw type vent cap for easy access. Only special
spill proof vents like SUNICA vents require to be fully removed for electrolyte filling
and topping up.

Use the correct electrolyte as specified In the Technical Specifications and fill the
cells slowly until the level of electrolyte is about 15 mm below the maximum level
indication.

Check the cells after 30 minutes and add electrolyte upto max. level indication.

Check the Technical Specifications for correct levels of electrolyte before filling. This
is required for cells in stainless steel containers, since these containers are not
provided with the level indication stickers as in the case of cells in polypropylene
containers. Use the capillary tube provided for checking the electrolyte level in cells
with stainless steel containers.

The specific gravity of the B-22 electrolyte in the cell will now stabilize at 1.19 +/- 0.01
from the initial filling electrolyte with specific gravity 1.20 +/- 0.01.

For Special cells (for solar applications), the specific gravity of the B-30 electrolyte in
the cell will now stabilize at 1.26 +/- 0.01 from the initial filling electrolyte with specific
gravity 1.28 +/- 0.01.

11
9.0 CHARGING

The battery can be charged by all normal constant current and constant voltage
methods.

Batteries in parallel operation with charger and load are generally charged with
constant voltage.

In operations where the battery is charged separated from the load, charging with
either constant current or constant voltage can be carried out.

9.1 FIRST CHARGING (DURING COMMISSIONING)

The cell vent caps should be closed during charging. Ensure that the transport seal
strip used for preventing electrolyte spillage during transportation has been removed
before charging. Also ensure that the transit caps (blue / red), wherever mounted on
cell terminals for big size cells.

First charging should be done using constant current only.

Charge the battery with the current recommended in the Technical specifications.

The duration of charge should be such that a charge input of 200% of C5 AH is given.

If the charger maximum voltage setting is too low to supply constant current charging,
divide the battery into two parts to be charged individually.

The charger must be able to work continuously at current limit without being
damaged. HBL NIFE chargers can do this.

A generous first charge with 200% charge input is important for obtaining maximum
battery performance.

Add electrolyte after waiting for a period of at least two hours after the first charge
has been completed.

At the same time, check the electrolyte density and adjust if necessary within the
specified limits.

After this final adjustment, the quantity of electrolyte in the battery is correct and
battery is ready for service.

Electrolyte should not be added later. For normal topping up, only DM/DI water
should be used.

THE ELECTROLYTE DENSITY IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE STATE OF CHARGE


OF THE BATTERY.

12
9.2.0 ROUTINE CHARGING (DURING USAGE)

During regular usage the charging method and parameters are to be determined by
charger, load and battery to ensure the system compatibility.

9.2.1 SEPARATE CHARGING

When the battery is being charged separate from its load, we recommend charging
for 8 hours with a current for 0.2 C5 Amps, to recharge a fully discharged battery to
full state of charge.

A lower charging current can be applied for a proportionally longer time, however the
current should not be less than 0.1 C5 A for H cells and 0.05 C5 A for M and L cells.

Constant voltage charging can be used but it requires longer recharge time. The
charging parameters are as per high rate charging under clause 9.2.3

9.2.2 PARALLEL OPERATION

For continuous parallel operation with occasional battery discharge, use a float-
charging voltage in the range of 1.40 to 1.42 volts per cell.

9.2.3 HIGH RATE CHARGING

For recuperative charging of the battery after a discharge, adjust the charging volt-
ages to a level corresponding to:

1-53 – 1.67V/Cell for H cells

1.54 – 1.69 V/Cell for M cells and

1.55 – 1.70 / Cell for L cells

charging current limit should be within 0.1 to 0.2 C5

9.2.4 OVER CHARGING

Over charging within reasonable limits will not damage the battery, but water
consumption will be increased.

9.2.5 UNDER CHARGING

A Ni-Cd battery can be left standing for short periods at any state of charge without
damage.

But continuous undercharging combined with deep discharging will affect the battery
life.

Note : If the battery is continuously on float charge, it is recommended to boost charge


once in every 6 months to make sure that the state of charge is at top. The boost
charging should be for 8 hours.

13
10.0 MAINTENANCE

10.1 CLEANLINESS

It is important to keep the battery dry and clean. This will contribute to top the
performance and maximum service life and non-contamination of cells during topping
up.
If potassium carbonate crystals (grey white deposits) form on top of the battery, rub
with a soft brush and wipe with a clean damp cloth followed by a clean dry cloth.
Do not use a wire brush or solvents of any kind, such as gasoline, thinner, acetone,
kerosene etc.,

10.2 VENT CAPS


Vent caps should be kept clean to avoid blocking of holes and prevent venting of
gases produced during charging.
Vent caps can be removed from the cells, rinsed in clean water, dried and replaced,
vent caps can also be cleaned by wiping with a clean damp cloth followed by a clean
dry cloth while mounting on the cells.

10.3 CONNECTORS
Check at least once a year that all connectors are tight. This is especially important if
the battery is subjected to vibration or shocks during service.
The connectors and terminal screws should be corrosion protected by coating with a
thin layer of anti-corrosion oil / petroleum jelly.

10.4 TOPPING UP
The electrolyte level should be always-within the maximum and minimum level marks
by replenishing the water.
Use only DM/DI water for toping up.
It is not necessary to add water frequently in an attempt to keep the electrolyte at
maximum level.
Never let the level fall below the top of the plates.

Do not add water to the maximum level during high rate charge since accurate level
reading is not possible when the battery is gassing.

Avoid splashing water when topping up. A wet battery can result in earth faults and
/or erratic operation.
Always keep the flame arresting vents closed except for the moment of topping up.

10.5 NEVER USE SULPHRIC ACID


Sulphuric acid will ruin the alkaline battery.
Filling bottles, hydrometers etc., used with lead acid batteries must never be used
with alkaline batteries in order to prevent acid contamination.

14
10.6 SPECIFIC GRAVITY

The electrolyte specific gravity should be as mentioned in technical specifications.

The specific gravity is not influenced by the state of charge, but increases slightly
when the electrolyte level is lowered due to water loss.

Electrolyte specific gravity should not be measured immediately after water has been
added.

10.7 CHECKING THE CHARGING

In parallel operation it is great importance that the recommended charging voltage is kept
unchanged. The charger should be checked at least once a year.

High water consumption of the battery is usually caused by a high float voltage setting of the
charger, which give higher current than required during float operation.

10.8 TROUBLE SHOOTING

Even though HBL Nife Power Systems Limited nickel cadmium batteries themselves
are very reliable and trouble free, they are part of a larger system that can introduce
abnormal conditions, and batteries are also exposed to different quality of
maintenance.

The following list of possible problems, causes and action will be of good use.

Different float voltages Batteries are often divided in two


halves, which is good from reliability
and maintenance viewpoints. If each
half has a separate charger and the
voltage is different, the electrolyte
levels in the two halves will be
different

Leaking cell If one cell has a lower electrolyte level


than all the others, it is probably
leaking. The leak could be small and
difficult to find, but the battery stand is
probably wet from electrolyte under
the cell. One individual cell could not
consume more water than the others
as the same current goes through all
cells.
Short circuit in one A cell with partial or complete short
cell circuit will consume less water than
the others. Let the cell remain until
replacement is arranged.

11.0 ELECTROLYTE REPLACEMENT

In most stationery battery applications, the electrolyte will retain its effectiveness for
the life of the battery. However, under special battery service conditions, such, as
high temperature and / or frequent cycling, potassium carbonate build up in the
electrolyte may reach a level that will influence the battery performance. If the
potassium carbonate reaches a level of about 25 % of the electrolyte, is said to be
carbonized, and the battery performance can be restored to a great extent by
replacing the electrolyte.

The type of electrolyte to be used for replacement is given below.

Use this data as proportions for preparing the electrolyte for the battery in suitable
batch quantities depending on the size of the vessels available for electrolyte
preparation.
11.2 DISCHARGE
Before emptying the electrolyte, discharge the battery to a voltage corresponding to
about 0.6 volt/cell with a current not higher than of 0.2 C5 Amps. The plates shall
never be exposed to atmosphere in charged condition.

11.3 EMPTYING

Open the vents and place the battery inverted to drain the cells. Let the cells drain for
about 5 minutes. Do not shake the cells.
Beware of electrolyte splashes.
Do not rinse with water, as this may cause trouble in obtaining correct electrolyte
19
density after filling.

Never let cells remain empty if they are not entirely discharged as this can cause
permanent damage.

It is not advisable to pour the used electrolyte into the sink. Follow norms for
chemical waste disposal, which are valid in your area.

11.4 FILLING

Immediately after emptying, fill the cells according to the instructions for the
electrolyte filling.

11.5 CHARGE

Charge the battery according to the instructions for first charging.

A generous charge is important for the restoration of the battery performance.

20
12.0 DO’S AND DO NOT’S

12.1 DO’S

1. Keep the battery always dry and clean. This will prevent leakage of current and
protect the nickel plating on the external battery components.

2. Check inter-cell connectors for proper tightness. This will prevent heat
generation at the point of loose contact, which causes damage to the
components and can be a fire hazard. Loose contact can also cause battery
failure due to creation of an open circuit.

3. Ensure that the cell connections have been made as per the wiring diagram
provided. Normally Red washer on cell terminal indicates positive polarity and
blue washer indicates negative polarity.

4. Ensure that the battery cable lugs are electro plated. This will prevent the
copper from reacting with the electrolyte.

5. Ensure that the transport seal (plastic strip in vent cap) is removed before
charging. This will permit escape of the oxygen and hydrogen gases generated
during charging.

6. Keep vent caps always closed during charging and discharging. This will
prevent the carbon dioxide from the air from combining with the alkaline
electrolyte and producing potassium carbonate, thereby reducing the electrical
conductivity of the electrolyte.

7. Check the electrolyte level and ensure that it does not fall below the minimum
level, which is indicated, on the cell-marking label. This active material
contained in the portion of the plates, which are exposed above the Electrolyte,
will be permanently damaged if the battery remains in service.

8. Use only DM/DI water to top up the cells. (During initial Commissioning use
only electrolyte to make up for loss of electrolyte during transportation). Only
DM/DI water is to be used to compensate for the loss of water during charging,
and maintain the required electrolyte level and specific gravity.

9. Ensure proper functioning of charger and proper connections to the battery.


Correct voltage and current settings are important for keeping the battery in
charged, ready to use condition.

10. Use insulated tools while working on the battery to prevent accidental short
circuit and consequent damage.

11. Use alkaline electrolyte only since this is an alkaline battery.

21
12.2 DO NOT’S

1. Do not use apparatus, like hydrometers, capillary tubes, and thermometers


etc., used in lead acid batteries in order to prevent contamination of electrolyte.

2. Do not use petrol, kerosene, or any strong chemicals for cleaning batteries.

3. Do not use wire or any hard brush to clean deposits on the intercell connectors
and terminals since this will damage the nickel plating.

4. Do not use aluminum cables for making connections to the battery terminals
since aluminum reacts with the alkaline electrolyte.

5. Do not keep vent caps open and expose electrolyte to air, since this will cause
some of the electrolyte to be converted to potassium carbonate and thereby
reduce the conductivity of the electrolyte.

6. Do not spill water or electrolyte on and around the battery since this will create
conductive paths leading to leakage of current.

7. Do not measure specific gravity immediately after adding DM/DI water since
this will indicate a lower specific gravity due to inadequate mixing of the water
with electrolyte in the cell. Specific gravity can be measured after one hour.

8. Do not install the Battery in places where it is exposed to sunlight, since this
will cause accelerated ageing of plastic components due to ultra violet
radiation.

9. Do not remove vent caps (in case of flip type vent caps) for topping up since
frequent removal can damage the vent cap and the cell lid. In case of flip type
vent caps, gently press the cap to open the spring loaded vent lid and in case
of threaded type vent cap, gently unscrew the vent cap lid.

10. Do not use acid since the battery requires alkaline electrolyte. Addition of acid
will cause it to react with the alkaline electrolyte, and cause permanent battery
damage.

11. Do not charge the battery without removing the transport seal from the vent, or
while the battery is covered, since it is important to ventilate the battery and
permit the gases produced towards the end of charge to escape.

12. Do not adjust terminal connections during usage to prevent sparking which
can ignite the oxygen and hydrogen gases which are given off by the battery
towards completion of charge, and cause a fire / explosion.

13. Do not smoke in the battery room since it is a fire hazard.

14. Do not keep Batteries in the same room where acid batteries are kept.
