5.3
Assembly inspection, Connection
Note the following points when installing:
5.3.1 Follow chapter "6 Commissioning" as well as the instructions of the system supplier
(battery box, auxiliary power supply).
5.3.2 Check the polarity of the battery and cells. Cells or batteries connected in series are
connected from the negative to the positive pole of the following battery.
5.3.3
Connect the battery only after checking the correct battery polarity to the charger or to the
consumer load.
If they connect, there may be a small spark depending on the switching arrangement
.
5.3.4 Verify that the batteries are properly secured in their position.

Commissioning
6.1.1 The commissioning of the entire system must be carried out as specified by the vehicle
manufacturer and equipment suppliers (auxiliary power supply) as well as the internal
guidelines of the train operator.
6.1.2 Make sure that the settings and parameters for the charge and monitoring correspond
with the information in these operating and service instructions. Regarding charging,
battery operation, inspection and monitoring this operating and service instructions must
be followed.
6.1.3 Now close the circuit breaker to the battery box according to the instructions of the
vehicle manufacturer and equipment suppliers.
6.1.4 Please check the charging voltage and verify that
during the constant voltage charge
the recommended voltage value can be measured at the end terminals of the
battery
.
Note that this value depends on the given charge- and temperature conditions and during
inspection the charge must be in the constant voltage phase. This depends on the state
of charge of the batteries and will apply latest after 9 hours of charging.
6.1.5 After the inspection of the charge, perform a discharge with loads of the vehicle and
check the
function of the deep discharge protection relay
when the final discharge
voltage is reached. Register the average power consumption, the discharge duration and
the final discharge voltage (minimum voltage on the battery before the disconnection).
6.1.6 Check if the battery is free of loads after the shutdown. It is important to note that such
loads can deep discharge the battery. If there is no charge in due time the load must be
switched off manually. Fully recharge the battery immediately after the test and hold the
battery for at least 48 hours on continuous charge.
