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.
