1. Commissioning
The XFC series monoblocs are supplied in a charged condition.
The battery should be inspected to ensure it is in perfect physical
condition.
Check:
1.
The battery cleanliness. Before installing, the battery compartment
has to be cleaned.
2.
The battery end cables have a good contact to terminals and the
polarity is correct. Otherwise the battery, vehicle or charger could
be damaged.
Use special coding systems for maintenance free batteries for the char-
ging plug- and- socket devices to prevent accidental connection to the
wrong type of charger. Never directly connect an electrical appliance (for
example: warning beacon) to a part of the battery. This could lead to an
imbalance of the cells during the recharge, i.e. a loss of capacity, the risk
of insufficient discharge time, damage to the cells and this may
EFFECT THE WARRANTY OF THE BATTERY.
Charge the battery (see 2.2) before commissioning. Only blocs with the
same state of discharge should be connected together.
The specified torque loading for the bolts/screws of the end cables and
connectors are detailed in the table below:
Operation and maintenance instructions for powerbloc dry XFC
Powerbloc dry batteries XFC series are valve-regulated lead-acid batteries. Unlike conventional batteries with liquid electrolyte these batteries have
immobilised electrolyte. Instead of a vent plug, a valve is used to regulate the internal gas pressure, preventing the ingress of oxygen from the air and
allowing the escape of excess charging gasses should an overcharged condition occur. When operating valve-regulated lead-acid batteries the same
safety requirements as for vented batteries apply, to protect against hazards from electric current, from explosion of electrolytic gas and - with some
limitations - from the corrosive electrolyte.
Battery valves should never be removed. These batteries do not require topping – up with distilled or demineralised water
•
Pay attention to the operating instructions and keep
them close to the battery.
•
Work on batteries must only be carried out by skilled
personnel!
•
Use protective glasses and wear safety clothing when
working on batteries.
•
Adhere to the current accident prevention rules in the
country where the battery is used or EN 50272-3,
EN 50110-1.
•
Keep children away from batteries!
•
No smoking!
•
Do not expose batteries to naked flames, glowing
embers or sparks, as it may cause the battery to
explode
•
Avoid sparks from cables or electrical apparatus as
well as electrostatic discharges.
•
Acid splashes into the eyes or on the skin must be
washed immediately with an abundance of clean
water. After abundant flushing consult a doctor
immediately!
•
Clothing contaminated by acid should be washed in
water.
•
Risk of explosion and fire
•
Avoid short circuits: do not use non-insulated tools, do
not place or drop metal objects on top of the battery.
Remove rings, wristwatches and articles of clothing with
metal parts that might come into contact with the battery
terminals.
•
Electrolyte is highly corrosive.
•
In the normal operation of this battery a contact with
acid isn’t possible. If the cell containers are damaged,
the immobilised electrolyte (absorbed in the separator)
is corrosive like the liquid electrolyte.
•
Batteries and monoblocs are heavy. Ensure secure
installation! Use only suitable handling equipment.
•
Lifting hooks must not damage the blocs, connectors
or cables.
•
Do not place batteries in direct sunlight without
protection. Discharged batteries can freeze. For that
reason, always store in a frost-free zone.
•
Dangerous electrical voltage!
•
Avoid short circuits: powerbloc dry XFC batteries are
capable of high short circuit currents.
•
Caution - metal parts of the battery are always live: do
not place tools or other objects on the battery!
•
Pay attention to the hazards that can be caused
by batteries
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Ignoring the operating instructions, and repair with non-original parts will render the warranty void. All failures, malfunctions or defaults of the battery,
the charger or any other accessories, must be notified to our After Sales Service immediately.
