7.2 Battery replacement
Make sure that the equipment is completely switched off and disconnected from the mains supply as well as the
services, before proceeding to replace the batteries.
Only in the case that the charger is charging the battery, in float mode, the battery charging current is less than
200 mA and there is no anomaly in the battery or the charger, could it proceed, with the maximum precautions,
when disconnecting the battery while the charger is running.
VERY IMPORTANT: IN NO CASE DISCONNECT THE BATTERY WHEN DISCHARGING.
Before reconnecting the battery, wait at least fifteen minutes after disconnection and make sure that the charger
is indicating “Battery Absent”. This procedure can be used so that the “Battery test failure” event is no longer
active automatically.
Alternatively, press the BATTERY RECONNECTION button briefly to reset the alarm. VERY IMPORTANT: Before
pressing the button, make sure with a measuring device that the voltage and polarity at the BAT + and BAT-
terminals of the charger are adequate.
In any case, the general recommendation is that the substitution be made with the system completely stopped.
ZIGOR cannot be held responsible for damages caused to the battery, charger or equipment powered by this, as
well as to personnel, in case of not following this recommendation.
