Preventive Maintenance:
8.1.1 BBS Module Maintenance:
The BBS module was designed to be
maintenance-free. There are no serviceable parts inside the unit.
It is recommended to do a cleaning routine maintenance as follows:
•
Clean the cover of the BBS as needed using a damp cloth or nonabrasive cleanser.
Do not use ACETONE-BASE cleaning solutions. Keep cleaning solutions
out of the electrical receptacles on this device.
8.1.2 Battery Maintenance:
The BBS uses sealed maintenance-free batteries.
Proper charging and limited cycling along with a proper battery environment will ensure
a long battery life.
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by authorized
personnel at least four times a year.
A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit
current.
•
Clean and tighten battery connections.
•
All battery connections should be examined and checked for corrosion.
•
Replace batteries when conductance tests indicate 30% to 40% deterioration from
the original value. Use a battery conductance tester, Dimensions part number
290003.
•
When replacing batteries, use the same model number and type batteries. Batteries
should be replaced in complete sets.
•
Before proceeding with installation, review battery system drawings and assembly
according to provided instructions.
•
Normal battery operating temperatures are between 68°F (20°C) and 77°F (25°C).
