B) Installation & Removal
Always disconnect the 230V mains supply
and turn the PSU green charger switch to the
off position (button out) before removing or
installing the battery.
When connecting the battery, ensure that the
correct polarity is observed (black is negative
[-] and red is positive [+]) and that the terminals
are securely fastened. Crocodile clips must not
be used.
!
WARNING: Explosive gases may be
present at the battery. Take care to prevent
flames and sparks in the vicinity of
the battery and do not smoke.
C) Operation / Servicing
Under normal circumstances it should not
be necessary to remove the battery other
than for routine inspection of the terminals
and “topping up” of the battery fluid where
applicable. Please see instructions supplied
with the battery.
Note:
Do not over discharge the battery.
One of the most common causes of
battery failure is when the battery is
discharged below the recommended level
of approximately 10V. Discharging a battery
below this figure can cause permanent
damage to one or more of the cells within
the battery.
To prevent over discharge, the power control
system incorporates a battery protect circuit
that warns the users and then disconnects the
batteries when they fall below set values.
If a warning is active a beep will be emitted
by the control panel and information will be
shown on the screen. To cancel the warning,
press the select button. These warnings will
not be repeated unless the power switch is
turned off and on again. This is to ensure the
warning does not become a nuisance.
