Exide Technologies Section 92.80 - Manual (Page 11)

NOTE (for Figure 4):
1) Straps must be criss-crossed.
2) Observe lifting shackle orientation and
proper channel hole use.
3) See Figure 13 for handling modules in
horizontal orientation.
4) Never lift more than one module with straps and hooks.

SECTION 7: SYSTEM ARRANGEMENTS
7.0 Module Arrangements
Absolyte GX batteries may only be arranged horizontally. Figure
6 shows some typical arrangements.
TYPICAL SYSTEM ARRANGEMENTS
Figure 6
Modules are shipped without connectors installed. The wiring dia-
gram enclosed with shipment will show proper battery hook-up.
Module stack height limitation depends on cell size and the seis-
mic requirements of the application.
SECTION 8: SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
8.0 Module Assembly Identification
Consult layout/wiring diagram for total number and type
of module assemblies in system. Compare required module
assemblies called for on layout/wiring diagram with modules in
shipment for completeness before continuing further. The
Absolyte GX has a standard module configuration of two cells
per module. Where application voltage requires, a module may
have only one cell in a two-cell tray. For example, a 46 volt sys-
tem will consist of eleven full modules and one single-cell mod-
ule. Assemblies can be rotated 180° for proper polarity location.
8.1 Bottom Supports (I-beams)
Locate bottom I-beam supports and M10 serrated flange bolts
and nuts. I-beam supports and seismic shims should be
attached to the appropriate module assembly shown on the lay-
out/wiring diagram prior to removal from shipping pallet. Consult
layout/wiring diagram for proper location of positive/negative ter-
minals relative to I-beam.
NOTE: Failure to use seismic shims (on systems where seismic
shims are indicated) will result in the assembly not meet-
ing seismic certification criteria.
Secure I-beam support to a module channel as shown in
Figures 7 & 8, with access slots outward. Torque hardware to 47
Newton-meters (35 Ft-Lbs) using insulated tools. The side of the
I-beam will be approximately 3.2mm (.125”) away from the end
of the channels.

Similarly, install the remaining I-beam on the other side of the
module.
