A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions
should be observed when working on batteries:
a. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
b. Use tools with insulated handles.
c.
Wear rubber gloves and boots.
d. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
e. Disconnect the charging source before connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
f.
Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the source from
the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood
of such shock can be reduced if the grounds are removed during installation and maintenance
(applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply circuit).
Never let live battery wires touch the Alpha FXM, the enclosure or any other metal objects. This can cause
a fire or explosion.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and
check with your local jurisdictions for safe battery disposal.
Before attaching the batteries to the Alpha FXM, make sure that the polarity is correct.
If the batteries have been in storage for more than 3 months, recharge them for at least 24 hours and then
test them with a load before installation.
Each AlphaCell™ battery has a date code, found on the warning label, which must be recorded in the
maintenance log. If non-Alpha batteries are used, see the manufacturer’s documentation for date code type
and placement.
