7.3. General Rules and Advice for Operation
Above all, the battery manufacturer's directions and instructions are applicable.
Modern sulphuric acid batteries require little maintenance and are easy to maintain. The working life of the
battery depends mainly on the manner of application and maintenance. To ensure longest possible working
life, observe the following rules:
Battery charging indicator for EGU 14 P
Battery 100% charged
Battery 50% charged
Battery 20% charged; recharge battery
Battery lower 20% charged;- recharge immediately to avoid damage
= LED constant on
= LED flashing
= alarm sound continuously
= alarm sound pulsating
Battery charging indicator for EGU 22 P
The indicator gives the battery condition indication by means of a series of 5 green
LED and one red LED.
When the battery is charged, the first 4 green LED are on and, with the progressive
discharging of the battery, they switch off one after the other, in proportion to the
residual charge of the battery, until the residual charge value reached is such that the
red LED lights up, signalling in this way that the battery is flat.
Hour counter
In the middle of the instrument dial there is a liquid crystals alpha-numerical display
which informs the operator about the working hours carried out.
Alarms
The same display used for the hour counter works also as the indicator of the alarm condition, by displaying
a code which corresponds to the kind of alarm signalled. In order to draw the attention of the operator, the
red LED begins flashing
