24VDC Battery Disconnect Kit
Installation Guide
Circuit disconnect switches are
optional equipment on the Telect
Seismic Indoor Battery Rack. The
24VDC Battery Disconnect Kit
modifies a rack shelf to include circuit
disconnect switches.
Each kit includes
• two circuit breakers (1)
• mounting brackets (5)
•covers(3)
• faceplate (4)
• insulating pad (6)
• hardware
• cables (2 and 7) to connect the
circuit breakers to the negative
battery terminals
The circuit breakers function as disconnect switches for each battery circuit, not to protect
against power surges.
A separate kit is required for each shelf. Each shelf is two circuits of two batteries each. The
circuit breakers connect between the hot collector bus cable and the hot terminal of the second
battery in the circuit.

WARNING
!
WARNING! Batteries and facility power systems present electrical voltage and amperage
levels that are considered an electrical hazard. Make sure that only qualified personnel are
allowed to install, operate, maintain, or otherwise come in contact with this equipment.
Remove all watches and jewelry before installing battery disconnect kits. Only use insu-
lated tools when working with batteries and facility power.
Procedure steps:
1. Disconnect power to the battery rack. Set all circuit breakers to OFF.
2. Install a circuit-breaker mounting bracket (item 5) and insulating pad (item 6) on the right-
hand side of the battery shelf with one 10-32 pan-head screw, one 10-32 flat-head screw, and
two 10-32 keps nuts.
3. Remove one 1/4-20 nut and flatwasher from each stud on the back of the circuit breaker.
4. Disconnect the hot collector bus cable from the hot battery terminal. Reconnect the cable to
the lower (load) terminal on the circuit breaker and secure with one 1/4-20 nut and flatwasher.
5. Connect the short cable (item 2) supplied with the kit to the upper (line) terminal on the circuit
breaker and secure with one 1/4-20 nut and flatwasher.
6. Connect the short cable to the hot battery terminal.
7. Install the circuit breaker (item 1) into the mounting bracket face plate (item 4) with two 6-32
pan-head screws.
8. Torque all battery connections as specified by the battery manufacturer’s
current specifications.
9. Install the mounting bracket face plate onto the mounting bracket with two 6-32 pan-head
screws.
10. Install the circuit breaker cover (item 3) with two 6-32 pan-head screws.
11. Repeat steps 3 through 9 for mounting the second circuit breaker on the left-hand side of the
battery shelf.
This procedure is complete.
