5. Barrier Installation
5.1 Lay out the Barrier Strips on the floor around the battery stand location in the
order demonstrated in Figure 3.1 and lightly bolt the pieces together using
carriage bolts, washers, nuts and the appropriate connector plates. Position
the barrier around the battery stand location to provide equal clearances on all
sides between the battery stand and the barrier. Note that the horizontal
flange on all of the barrier strips faces the battery stand (Figure 3.1). This
orientation is important both for barrier clearance and liquid-tight integrity.
CAUTION:
Barrier strips and connectors are constructed from steel and coated with an acid
resistant epoxy. These strips should be handled with care near all electric
power sources. Contact with an electrical source could result in severe shock
or death. This product should only be installed by trained professionals
familiar with the electrical hazards of high energy DC back up power systems.
