Battery Safety Checklist
• High &
dangerous voltages
are present inside the system. Only qualified personnel should perform installation
and maintenance.
• Live battery wires
must not
touch the GES-202TLP chassis or any other metal objects.
This can cause a fire
or explosion.
•
Inspect
the batteries once a year for signs of cracks, leaks, or swelling. Replace as needed.
• When batteries are in storage,
charge
them at least once every three months for optimum performance and to
extend their lifetime.
• Always
replace batteries with the ones of identical type and rating.
Never
install old or untested batteries.
Never
mix old with new batteries.
Never
mix the different type of Battery within one system.
• Use
insulated
tools
during servicing.
•
Remove
all rings, watches, jewelry, or other conductive items before working inside the enclosure.
•
Follow
local regulations for the disposal of batteries. Recycling is the best method.
• Never
burn batteries to dispose of them.
They may explode.
• Do not open the batteries.
The contents are toxic.
Stand-By Generator
Note: If the GES-202TLP constantly switches between Battery and Line modes because of line
fluctuations, the input parameters should be
broadened from Normal to Generator
(see Section 2.2,
2.10, “Sense Type” of the Operators Manual)
In Generator mode, the acceptable range of input frequency and voltage is expanded to accommodate the
voltage and frequency fluctuations created by a generator or a power source of such kind.
Use a generator with electronic speed and voltage controls which typically produces the Total Harmonic
Distortion in % (THD) to be less than 10%. Generators with Mechanical governors can force the system to run
continuously in Battery mode.
Before installation, compare the generator’s output voltage to the GES-202TLP’s input voltage requirements as
listed on both nameplates. To insure the systems smooth running, use a generator capable of supplying 2X or
twice as much power as required by the total load.
