5.0 Selection and Accommodation Considerations, continued
5.3 Accommodation Considerations, continued
Anchoring: Anchoring should meet national/local codes and industry standards. Floor
anchoring and its design are the responsibility of the installer.
Proximity to Electronic Equipment: Series fl ooded stationary batteries may be installed
next to or under electronic equipment.
Racks: OPzS fl ooded stationary batteries designed for racks or cabinets should be installed
on racks specifi cally designed for those batteries by the manufacturer. Use of another rack
design is the responsibility of the user.
6.0 Unpacking and Handling for Installation
6.1 General
Batteries are shipped assembled, charged, and fi lled with the electrolyte near the low level
lines as marked on the jar. If the electrolyte level is above the low level line on open circuit,
electrolyte must be removed to avoid fl ooding during freshening charge.
All accessories for installation and use are supplied as optional prepackaged kits. Cells may
be packed in wooden boxes, which must be opened completely and carefully. The cells are
then handled as described in Section 6.3.
6.2 Recommended Installation Equipment and Supplies
Before working with the battery system, be sure that you have the proper protective clothing,
safety equipment and insulated tools as specifi ed in Section 2.0. Additional equipment for the
installation of the battery system is listed below:
Forklift or portable lift crane and lifting belt
Chalk line
Floor anchors (user-supplied per battery system and attached stress analysis)
Floor shims (user-supplied)
Wrench, screwdrivers
Wipes (paper or cloth)
Plastic bristle brush or nonmetallic cleaning pad
Tape measure (nonmetallic)
Personal protective/safety equipment and clothing
Small paint brush
ARONIX grease (corrosion inhibitor)
Be sure you have all the proper protective clothing and safety tools and equipment on hand
before starting the installation.
6.3 Cell Handling
To prevent personal injury and damage to the cells when moving or handling the batteries,
follow the procedure in this section:
Do not lift any cell by the terminal posts. Lifting the cell by the post can damage the seals
and will void the warranty.
When lifting large cells or units with a crane, hoist or similar device, use the lifting belt.
Do not tamper with seal nuts on the cell posts, as this will void the warranty.
