ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR RDC STANDARD AND EP RACKS
7.
EP Rack Assembly:
Install all back restraint rail(s) and
cover(s). See Figure 7 and Detail E for hardware details.
Position front restraint rail and cover temporarily next to front
support rail prior to installing cells. See step 10 for information
on corner brackets.
If the battery row is shorter than the rack so that the end rail
falls within a frame, the corner bracket must be placed on the
side rail and slid within the frame (See Figure 10)
8.
Cell Installation Procedure:
Optional arrangement drawing
if ordered, should be reviewed for cell placement. If not
instructed otherwise, install cells starting at the center of the
bottom row and work out towards each end leaving a half
inch space between cells. For EP racks, use cell spacers
between cells as supplied (see Detail F). Do not use oil or
grease as lubricants. A small amount of water, unscented
talcum or Dow Corning III may be applied to the rail cover
to help reduce friction. For rows having an odd number of
batteries, the center of the first battery installed will match
the center of the row. For rows having an even number of
batteries, a cell space will coincide with the center of the row.
Pay attention to polarities and terminal placement. Refer to
the battery’s Installation and Operating Instruction manual
(RS-1476) for more details. All cells mounted on seismic racks
should be pushed back against back restraint rail and cover.
Up to an 1/8” gap between the restraint rail and cell jar wall
is acceptable. Repeat this procedure for remaining steps and
tiers, working upward. See Figure 8.
