Connecting the Battery Supply
Only one temperature sensor
(F+ / F-) must be connected to the
Battery Control Module of a EURO
ZB.1 control cabinet. Its line must
be routed separately to the battery
bank. For this purpose a 2-wire
lead can be employed the cross
sectional area of which can be 0.5
mm
2
for lengths < 50 m.
Warning!
The battery supply is effected
at 216 V DC nominal! Improper
use or manipulation may result
in perilous electrical shocks or
burns (due to arcing)!
Make sure polarity is correct
when connecting the battery
banks.
Make sure to first switch off
all connected loads („System
blocking“) to avoid arcing
when the battery circuit is
disconnected (or connec-
ted)!
Note:
Observe the following connection
sequence:
– Connect the cable provided
with a „+“ identification to the
positive terminal of the battery
bank.
– Connect the cable provided
with a „-“ identification to the
negative terminal of the battery
bank.
The reverse order shall apply
when disconnecting the battery
power supply.
Observe the data sheets of the battery
manufacturer CEAG has included in the
supply of the battery banks!
Take all statutory rules and ordinances
into account that apply at the place
where the emergency lighting system is
operated!
Notes:
Standard supply of CEAG
battery cabinets includes a
cabinet terminal block where the
connecting lines (+/–) for battery
supply and a temperatur sensor
(F+/F–) are hooked up
(see Fig. 24).
The PE connection serves to
safeguard against current-carrying
parts of the battery cabinet (see
„Installation Instructions for Batte-
ry Cabinets and Battery Racks“).
The supply of battery racks
and battery cabinets does not
include the connecting lines to the
end poles of the interconnected/
coupled batteries.
In case of battery racks the
connecting terminal block (Fig. 24)
is not part of the supply scope.
CEAG recommends the instal-
lation of a battery power distribu-
tor with isolator and fuses for the
battery circuit (see „Installation
Instructions for Battery Power
Distributor“) which enables the
terminals of the connecting lines
to the EURO ZB.1 control cabinet
to be safely isolated/disconnec-
ted.
The battery connecting lines
(for the EURO ZB.1 control cabi-
net and its EURO US.1 substa-
tions) must be laid according to
DIN VDE 0100 T520 to prevent
earth leakage and short circuits!
Make sure the conductor size
of the lines suits the expected
flow of power to the consumers
connected.
