3.0 Seismic Battery Hardware Installation

Note:

For Seismic battery rack installation, perform steps 2.4.1 through 2.4.6. On seismic racks
the insulated foot is replaced with a floor flange for bolting the battery rack to the floor.
After battery installation follow seismic battery installation instructions.


3.1 Identify the individual components of the seismic installation.






3.2 Some racks may need the installation of the seismic flange to the frame (see figure

3.2.A). With the beveled hole facing down install with the flat head bolt to frame leg.
Install the M8 anchor bolts into the slots on the floor foot flange (figure 3.2.B). Pre-drill
the anchor holes per the footing layout in section 2.3. When anchor bolts supplied by
factory – torque the bolts to 221 in-lbs (25Nm) into concrete floor. For all other
surfaces please refer to all local and state building codes.
