Figure 10 - Replacing a fuse

  Remove fuse cover by inserting, on either 

side, a flat head screwdriver and twisting.

  Measure continuity. If good continuity, 

the fuse is good. Re-install the cover.

  If no continuity, remove and replace 

the fuse using a 7 mm socket and 
torque wrench with a torque of 3 N.m 
(26.5 in.lbs). Re-install the cover.

8. Maintenance   

The Evolion

® 

2.1  kWh  requires  no 

maintenance, but checking its state 
and taking necessary action during 
periodic site routines is recommended.
The SOC can be checked while in 
operation. Refer to Figure 3 and 
Table 2.
Check if the heat sink area is 
obstructed or accumulated with dirt 
and debris. As necessary, un-obstruct 
or clean using a non-metallic brush or 
a dry or damp cloth. Do not use any 
cleaning solvents or soaps. Do not 
immerse, dunk, bathe or hose off the 
Evolion

® 

2.1 kWh.

Check the rectifier output. It should 
be set at 56.0 V ± 0.5%.
Check the LED and verify that the 
operating status is normal. Refer to 
Table 6.
If an abnormal operation (see Table 
6) is noticed, see Section 10.

9. Resetting the software   

If an alarm that is not automatically 
resettable or software trap is 
encountered then push the reset 
button using a pointed object. After 
the unit can be restarted normally.  
See Figure 9 below.

IMPORTANT:

 Only push the reset 

button when the Evolion

® 

2.1  kWh  is 

disconnected from the application.  
The Evolion

® 

must be ON to reset.

If the Evolion

® 

2.1 kWh emits an 

unusual smell, feels hot, changes 
shape or appears abnormal in any 
other way, conduct the following 
procedure:
1. Disconnect the Evolion

® 

2.1  kWh 

from power.

2. Shut-down the Evolion

® 

by pushing 

the ON/OFF button for at least 4 s.

3. Leave the Evolion

® 

2.1  kWh  in 

place.

4. Call your local Saft representative 

for further assistance.

To check and replace the fuse, 
conduct the following procedure:
1. Shut-down the Evolion

® 

2.1  kWh  by 

pushing the ON/OFF button for at 
least 4 s.

2. Disconnect and un-install the 

Evolion

® 

2.1 kWh. 

3. Check and replace the fuse 

according to Figure 10.

4. The Evolion

® 

2.1 kWh is now 

ready for service.

11. Removal and recycling   

Make sure to turn OFF the battery 
breaker.
1. Shut-down the Evolion

® 

2.1  kWh  by 

pushing the ON/OFF button for at 
least 4 s.

2. Disconnect the power terminals.
3. Disconnect alarm/communication 

cables.

4. Remove the Evolion

® 

2.1 kWh and 

stage for recycling.

5. Call your local Saft representative 

for further assistance.

10. Troubleshooting   

The Evolion

® 

Toolbox software is the 

best way to interrogate an Evolion

® 

2.1  kWh  during  troubleshooting. 
Refer to the Evolion

® 

2.1  kWh 

Technical Manual Appendix E for 
troubleshooting alarm details.
If an abnormal operation status 
is noticed, conduct the following 
procedure (Table 8):
