IMPORTANT NOTES ON BATTERIES:
DANGER: Batteries are electrically live at all times, take great care never to short circuit the
battery terminals.
WARNING: Batteries are often heavy, take great care when lifting and transporting batteries.
For weights above 24 kilos, lifting aids should be used.
WARNING: Do not attempt to remove battery lid or tamper with the battery internal workings.
Electrolyte is a highly corrosive substance, and presents significant danger to yourself and to
anything else it touches. In case of accidental skin or eye contact, flush the affected area with
plenty of clean, fresh water and seek immediate medical attention.
VRLA batteries are “low maintenance” requiring no electrolyte top-up or measurement of
specific gravity.
WARNING: If required, clean the case with a cloth that has been soaked or dampened with
distilled water. Do not use organic solvents (such as petrol, paint thinner, benzene or mineral
spirits) and other materials can substantially weaken the case.
WARNING: Avoid operating temperatures outside the range of -15
°
C/5
°
F to +50°C/122°F for
float/standby applications.
DANGER: Do not incinerate batteries. If placed in a fire, the batteries may rupture, with the
potential to release hazardous gases and electrolyte. VRLA batteries contain substances
harmful to the environment. Exhausted batteries must be recycled. Return them to the battery
manufacturer or take them to your Council tip for appropriate disposal.
The versions of this repeater panel fitted with a power supply requires a 230V AC supply. All
installation work should be carried out in accordance with the recommendations of BS5839
Part 1 and the current edition of the IEE regulations by suitably qualified and trained
personnel.
The panel must be earthed.
Locate the panel keys and the Installation Kit containing installation spares as follows:
1 set of battery leads (positive, negative and a jumper lead)
3k9 resistors
1A spare fuse for 24V Aux Supply
1.5A spare battery fuse
Open the display door with the key provided. Carefully remove the repeater panel interior by
releasing the cables to the display (where fitted) and unscrewing the door pin located in the
bottom fold of the door. On the repeater panel version fitted with a power supply, remove the top
