Placing the batteries correctly so that all their elements can be easily reached facilitates maintenance.
Maintenance consists of checking the following aspects:
•
Cleanliness: The elements, their connections and supports must be kept clean and dry. It is
recommended to protect the terminals and metal connections with diluted vaseline. Do not use cleaning
products containing solvents and/or harmful substances for cleaning elements with plastic containers.
•
Connections and terminals: Check the tightness of nuts on the poles of elements as well as the
tightness of the electrical connection with at regular intervals of approximately 12 months.
•
Checking voltages: Check the voltages of elements in order to detect any possible anomalies in these.
•
Periodic Discharges: If, due to use, the batteries do not support systematic charging and discharging
operations, the following indications must be applied. In order to maintain the properties of the active
material that makes up the battery, the battery must be discharged periodically (it is recommended that
this be done every six months). Periodic discharges provide an indication of autonomous operation, allow
you to detect faulty elements and discover symptoms of premature ageing. It is not necessary to
discharge the battery completely as this might involve a risk of disconnecting the output as the battery
does not have its complete capacity. After these intentional discharges, leave the system on for at least
24 hours in order to recharge the battery completely.
•
It is recommended that the batteries are manually charged or discharged
Once every three or four months if the UPS has not been used for a long time or the power is long-term
uninterrupted. The battery will be fully discharge to low-voltage protection shutdown. Then it needs to be
fully charged at once.
•
In high temperature area, batteries should be manually charged and discharged once every two months.
The process is the same as that said above.
•
Under normal circumstances of using, the battery working life is three to five years. If you find that the
battery do not act well such as obviously shortening of backup time, too much imbalance on battery
voltage and so on, the battery should be replaced as soon as possible, which must be performed by
qualified personnel.
•
When replace battery, it is recommended to change battery all together instead of changing separately..
Do not smoke, light a fire or generate sparks near batteries during recharging as there is a risk of fire and/or
explosion.
For cleaning, do not use synthetic material clothes or sponges. Keep batteries clean and dry at all times. Protect
them against dirt, dust, metal shavings, etc.
WARNING
Before replacing batteries, first please turn off the UPS and break off the mains. Remove your metallic
adornment such as finger ring, watch and so on.
When replace batteries, please use the screwdriver with insulating handle. Do not lay the tools or metallic
goods on the battery.
Never reverse or short circuit between the battery anode and cathode.
WARNING
Electrolyte is highly corrosive. In the case of any contact with the skin, remove stained clothing and wash with
abundant water those parts of the skin affected. The case of any problem, see a doctor. The case of any
contact with one's eyes, rinse with a great deal of water for 10 to 15 minutes and see an ophthalmologist.
WARNING
If the ZGR TOWER PRO 6 10 KVA is to remain disconnected or shut down during a period of one month or
more, the battery switch or protection fuse must be disconnected (if available). The equipment must be kept in
a place that is cool and dry.
