NI-CD-CLEAR-CASE 8
1.0 Installation
Alpha’s Clear Case Nickel Cadmium battery is designed and manufactured to provide battery power
to support various industrial backup power applications. This high performance battery has four
different discharge models to specifically meet the demands of the powering application.
HDV Range (Very High)
HDH Range (High)
HDM Range (Medium)
HDS Range (Long)
NiCd batteries do not emit any corrosive fumes and can be placed near sensitive electrical
equipment. All batteries are built in accordance with IEC 60 623, EN60 623 and DIN 0 771
specifications.
Battery Operating Room Features
Partitioned from other rooms and not exposed to the sun.
Ideal room temperature of 77ºF (25ºC).
Well ventilated (forced ventilation may be required).
Adequately sloped floor for drainage of cleaning water. The battery frame must remain level.
Rack Installation
Steel racks, on which the battery will be mounted and arranged, come completely assembled and
ready for installation.
Place the steel rack in a level position, so each component cell remains level. To determine if the
batteries are level, check the electrolyte against the level marks on the plastic cell containers.
Place one or several thin vinyl chloride sheets or similar material under the racks if leveling is
required.
Carry each cell between two or three people, holding it as upright as possible, and mount it on
the battery rack. The cells should be arranged and set up in accordance with the reference Wiring
Diagram (included if both cells and racks are provided by Alpha). Take care to avoid possible
polarity confusion.
Using the supplied connector bars, connect the component unit batteries in series as shown in
the reference Wiring Diagram. Tighten each connection with the supplied pole nut spanner.
For safety, ensure the battery set is open circuited when connecting it to a battery charger.

Unpacking and Inspection of Batteries
Cautiously unpack the battery, protecting it from damage.
Verify that the correct number of items were delivered and no damage occurred during shipping.
If parts are missing or damaged, immediately contact the transporter or central office to procure
missing or replacement parts.
Carefully transport the cells to the battery room, keeping them level, and providing support for the
bottom of the cell.
