
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 TRTC-2002-N1 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 amp hour
rated batteries 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
If the TRTC-2002-N1 constantly switches between Battery and Line modes because of
line fluctuations, the input parameters should be broadened from Normal to Generator
(See Section 8.2
“Sense Mode - Normal and Generator Waveforms”).
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 Total
Harmonic Distortion in % (THD) of 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 TRTC-2002-N1’s input
voltage requirements as listed on both nameplates. To insure the system’s smooth operation,
use a generator capable of supplying 2X or twice as much power as required by the total
load.
DANGER!
