WARNING 

Components are heavy. 

This can lead to overburdened intervertebral discs, contusions and strains. 

  Carry out the works described in this chapter with 2 persons or suitable aids. 

 

13.10.1

 

Opening the cabinet 

The VARTA element backup is shut down using the on/off switch (3). Here, it should be taken into account, 
however, that the replacement power connection is also supplied with voltage from the mains when switched 
off. Thus, consumers connected to the replacement power connection are also supplied when the store is 
switched off.  If the replacement power connection is to be disconnected, the store must be switched off using 
the on/off switch (3) and the network connection of the store switched off. (Racking out the store connection). 
These two steps must be performed for work on the replacement power connection as well as for work on the 
storage system. 

1.

 

Actuate the on/off switch (3), 

2.

 

Rack out fuse F1 (compare connection diagram). 

 Ensure that the on/off switch on the front of the housing is at “OFF” and the supply line to the store is 
switched off. 
 

To open the door, remove the three screws on the left side of the cabinet. 

Aid:

 Torx 25 screwdriver 

 

13.10.2

 

Replace the SD card 

The SD card is found in the front area of the battery converter. 

Before inserting the new SD card into the battery converter, you need to prepare it. 

1.

 

To this end, insert the new SD card into a notebook, a computer or a card-reading device connected to 
the computer. 

Note:

 We recommend using a new SD card. Should there be data on the SD card selected by you, back these up 

first. Then format the SD card in the format FAT32.  

2.

 

Download the file RES-Webserver-X.X.X.X.zip in the VARTA B2B section under Downloads and unzip the 
folder contained in it, “http”. 

3.

 

Copy the unzipped folder “http” onto the SD card. 

Note:

 The entire “http” folder with all the files must be present on the SD card. 

4.

 

Insert the prepared SD card into the battery converter. 

Once you have installed the SD card, you can restart the energy storage system. For the documentation of the 
maintenance, see chapter 18 on page 106. 

13.10.3

 

Dismounting the battery converter  

•

 

Loosen the two M 5 x 16 screws on the battery converter.  

Aid:

 Gr. 4 Allen key
