This module is designed for installation in an enclosure and is intended for the general professional use such as in industrial control,
office, communication, and instrumentation equipment.
Do not use this module in equipment, where malfunction may cause severe personal injury or threaten human life.
This device may only be installed and put into operation by qualified personnel.
Before initial use, check the last charging which is marked on the battery. If it is older than 9 months, replace the battery.
Do not install the battery fuse until the installation work is complete.
This device does not contain serviceable parts, except the fuse or replacement battery. If malfunction should occur during installation or
operation, first check the fuse and battery for proper functionality. If the unit is damaged or if the malfunction continues, immediately
turn power off and send device to the factory for inspection.
Replacement fuses must be of the same type or an UL listed fuse with the same nominal value and characteristics.
Do not short-circuit the battery poles or power wires and always check correct battery polarity.
Mount the device onto a flat surface. Do not install the battery module upside down.
Place the battery module in a cool area inside a cabinet.
Install the device in an enclosure providing protection against electrical, mechanical and fire hazards. Ensure sufficient ventilation by
following the requirements of the EN 50272-2.
CAUTION: The unit contains wet cell batteries. Ventilation of the installation room in accordance with the rules of Canadian Electrical
Code, part 1 is required if used in Canada.
The battery module is for use in a controlled environment. Do not use the device in pollution degree 3 areas without additional
protection or in applications where a degree of protection better than IP00 is required.
Do not use batteries other than the original batteries supplied by the manufacturer to avoid conflicts with agency approvals.
The maximum surrounding air temperature is +50°C / +122°F. The operational temperature is the same as the ambient or surrounding
air temperature and is defined as the air temperature 2cm below the device.
Do not store batteries or battery modules at temperatures higher than 25°C or performance and lifetime may change.
Do not store discharged batteries. Keep batteries fully charged!
Charge retention is important to get the longest battery life. Stored batteries which are not fully charged age faster than charged
batteries.
Do not store batteries longer than 9 months without charging or performance and lifetime may change. Every 9 months or w henever
the open circuit voltage (OCV) falls below 12.6V, the battery module should be charged. Apply a charging voltage of 13.8V (at 25°C) for
72 hours. Batteries with an OCV below 12V must not be charged anymore and must be disposed.
