SERVICE.

THIS WORK SHOULD THEN BE COMPLETED DURING

REDUCED TRAFFIC HOURS AND/OR WITH A DIESEL

GENERATOR BACKUP AVAILABLE TO ENSURE NO LOSS OF

SERVICE DURING A POSSIBLE AC OUTAGE. IF MORE THAN

ONE STRING IS TO BE REPLACED, REPLACE ONLY ONE

STRING AT A TIME AND DO NOT DISCONNECT THE NEXT

STRING BEFORE THE PREVIOUS ONE IS RECONNECTED.

1.Removal of the old string:

Notify the alarm center of the possibility of incoming alarms during this procedure.

2.Above the battery stand, or at the top of the main cabinet for a 1500, 3000 or 4000 A system, or at the overhead busbars for a 6000 A system, locate, disconnect and isolate the charge leads (+ and -) coming from the batteries being replaced.

3.Disconnect the inter-cell connectors from the individual battery cells, and insulate each exposed terminal with electrician tape.

4.The removed batteries shall be disposed of in accordance with local, state and national environmental legislation.

5.Installation of the new string:

If this is an addition, locate and install the new battery stand according to the specifications and drawings. If this is a replacement, install the new battery string in the space vacated by the removed one.

6.Install the new batteries and use the new connecting material supplied with the batteries to interconnect them.

7.Perform the initial charging of this new battery string according to the battery manufacturer’s specifications using an external power supply.

8.Above the battery stand, or at the top of the main cabinet for a 1500, 3000 or 4000 A system, or at the overhead busbars for a 6000 A system, connect the charge leads (+ and -) coming from the new batteries.
