NOTE: Check battery components against supplied drawings
to assure completeness. Do not proceed with installation until
all accessory parts are available.

CAUTION!
If a fork lift or portable crane is used
to handle modules in a horizontal
position, a piece of insulating mate-
rial such as heavy cardboard, rubber
insulating mats or plywood should be
used between handling equipment and
module tops to prevent shorting of
module top connections with metal
parts of lift equipment.

NOTE:
1) Straps must be criss-crossed.
2) Lifting shackle orientation and proper channel hole use
must be observed.
3) See Figure 14 for handling modules in horizontal orientation.

7.0 System Arrangements
7.1 Module Arrangements
Absolyte batteries are recommended for installation in a

horizontal orientation only. However, vertical installation is
approved for 50G systems consisting of single cell modules.
Figures 6 and 7 are typical arrangements and are not intend-
ed to represent all configuration possibilities.
Module stack height limitation depends on cell size and

the seismic requirements of the application. Please refer to
Appendix D for additional information.
HORIZONTAL SINGLE STACK BACK TO BACK

NOTE: The use of leveling shims is required when assembling
any Absolyte system in order to meet seismic requirements.
Failure to use the shims to level each module and to fill spac-
es between tray channels during module assembly will result
in the assembly not meeting seismic certification criteria.
Similarly, install the remaining I-beam support on the other

side of the module (see Figure 10).

HANDLING AND STACKING HORIZONTAL MODULES It is recommended that all of the first modules with bottom
Figure 15 supports attached (see Section 8.1.1) be placed in position
first. A chalk line floor mark should be used to assure all
stacks will be in a straight line. This applies for stacks end-
to-end or end-to-end and back-to-back. Also refer to Section
8.1.3, Items A through H (Item E for base module leveling).

APPENDIX C
BONDING & GROUNDING OF BATTERY RACK

INTRODUCTION
1. To insure personnel safety, and equipment protection, operation, and reliability, the battery rack should be connected to the
Common Bonding Network (CBN).
2. Electrical continuity between modules is provided through the use of serrated hardware. If continuity between the horizontal
supports (I-beams) and the bottom module is desired, the use of a grounding kit (GNB P/N: K17ABSGPGRND) is required.
This kit is available through your local GNB representative.
GROUNDING KIT INSTALLATION

1. Each kit consists of the following components:
(2) #6 AWG, 12 in. 90°C cables
(4) “C” shaped beam clamps
(4) 1/4-20 x 0.75 in. bolts
(4) 1/4-20 x 1.00 in. bolts
2. Using (1) 1/4-20 x 1.00 in. bolt per beam clamp, connect (1) beam clamp to the I-beam flange and (1) beam clamp to the back
flange of the module (see Figure 1). Be sure to securely tighten the bolts such that the paint is penetrated (see Figure 2).
3. Attach each end of cable assembly to a beam clamp using (1) 1/4-20 x 0.75 in. bolt per end (see Figure 3). Tighten hardware securely.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the second horizontal support (I-beam).
Figure 1: Beam Clamp Installation Figure 2: Adequate Paint Penetration Figure 3: Cable Assembly Installation
CONNECTING TO THE CBN

1. The recommended location for attaching the frame ground is the back “C” channel on the
upper module of the stack (see Figure 4).
Figure 4: Recommended Frame

Ground Location
2. Once the location is determined, it will be necessary to drill (2) holes for the frame ground conductor/lug (installer supplied).
Note, hole size and spacing will be dependent on the lug.
3. Using a grinder, etc., remove the paint from around the holes drilled in Step 2.
Apply a thin film of NO-OX-ID “A” grease to the bare metal and attach the frame ground conductor/lug.
