3.3 Charging the RRS-2
The CBS ArcSafe® remote racking unit is equipped with batteries to enable operation when AC power is
unavailable. Perform the following steps to charge and store the unit to prepare for future operation:
1.
Rotate the power switch to the OFF position if not using the RRS-2.
ATTENTION
It is perfectly safe to charge the RRS-2 during operations, however if you leave the unit on
while storing it the unit will pull unnecessary electricity from the outlet.
2.
Connect the RRS-2 Power Supply into an AC outlet via the included power cable and
ensure that the red light on the side of the unit turns on while plugged in and
charging.
3.
While charging feel free to use the RRS-2 in normal operation mode.
4.
Whenever possible, leave the CBS ArcSafe® RRS-2 plugged in and properly stowed
with either the CBS ArcSafe® dust cover or the waterproof cover to ensure the RRS-
2 is protected until the next operation. Once fully charged the battery charger
switches to a ‘Standby Voltage Mode’ maintaining a fully charged battery.
DANGER!
*Storing the RRS-2 in freezing temperatures will drastically reduce battery performance, CBS
ArcSafe® recommends storing the unit where temperatures are regulated 68˚F to 77˚F. If
storage in freezing temperatures is required, contact CBS ArcSafe® for handling proper
storage solutions.
ATTENTION
At or below 40°F / 5°C we recommend using the AC power supply over the battery power in
order for the unit to operate at max power. At temperatures lower than 40°F / 5°C the
current provided by the batteries becomes limited and thus may not provide enough racking
power for your breaker.
