As ENATEL Power Systems are state of the art electronic systems, very little routine
maintenance is required
System
•
Check all load and battery & alarm cable connections are tight.
Monitor
•
The monitor can give a good indication of the condition of the system. Alarm logs can
show issues with the system and rectifiers and should be regularly checked.
•
As a minimum, check that the float voltage and load current is as expected.
•
If the batteries are fully charged, check the battery current is zero or near to zero amps,
and also check that the amp-hours remaining (found in the SM32 Configuration Software
application, under the heading “Charge – Battery Capacity”) is 100%.
Rectifiers
•
During normal operation some dust will build-up on the front of the rectifiers. This should
be kept to a minimum by regularly wiping the rectifiers to avoid accumulation within the
rectifiers and blocking the airflow to the units. The positioning of the system and
surroundings will determine the regularity of this requirement.
•
In extremely dusty positions it is recommended that the units are removed and cleaned
with compressed air to prevent airflow blockages.
Batteries
•
Battery maintenance will depend on the individual manufacturer’s specification, please
contact the battery supplier for recommendations.
