Installing or replacing the battery
A Yuasa NP12-6 sealed lead acid
battery, or one of a different make
and model, but with the same
specifications is recommended:
•
SLA type (sealed lead acid)
•
6VDC nominal voltage,
6,825VDC float charge voltage
•
12Ah nominal capacity or larger
•
6,35x 0,8 mm male quick
disconnect tabs
•
Atleast -10 to + 50 degrees Celsius
operating temperature (charge
and discharge).
•
Battery size of 151 x 50 x 94 mm
(quick disconnect tab height
excluded), male quick disconnect
tabs positioned on top of the
battery along one of the long sides.
An empty, flat and horizontal working
area of at least 50x50cm is advised
for performing the following steps.
Lid and battery removal:
(in case of replacing the battery):
1.
Remove the housing lid by
removing the six screws on the
side of the housing using a Philips
2 screwdiver.
2.
Pull the battery out of the housing,
make sure the battery wires are
not caught on anything or pinched
while doing so. Set the battery
down right next to the Ranos dB
once it is completely out of its
compartment to prevent pulling
force from being exerted on the
battery wire harness.
3.
Carefully slide the Faston con
nector off of the battery terminals
by pulling and wiggling on the red
insulation part of the connectors.
Long nose pliers can be used if
more gripping force is needed.
Never pull on the wires, use careful
control of force while pulling on the
connector to prevent yourself from
pulling on the wires when
the connector comes off.
Battery and lid installation:
4.
For use cases where the Ranos dB
will be moved or transported with
the battery installed, it is advised
to fill the play between the battery
and battery compartment walls.
Stick the supplied foam pieces to
the battery:
- Bottom: 45x140x2mm.
- Long side: 70x140x2mm.
- Short side: 45x80x12mm.
5.
Set the new battery down next
to the Ranos dB, aligned with
the battery compartment. When
looking into the opening of the
housing, the battery faston flat
tabs should be to the left in order
for them to clear the internal rein
forcement bulkheads when sliding
in the battery.
6.
Inside of the Ranos dB there is one
unconnected cable harness with
female Faston connectors. Slide
the Faston connector of the black
wire onto the black or terminal
