Battery Safety Notes

WARNING! Lead-acid batteries contain dangerous voltages, currents and corrosive material. Battery installation, maintenance, service and replacement must be performed only by authorized personnel.

Chemical Hazards

Any gelled or liquid emissions from a valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery contain dilute sulfuric acid, which is harmful to the skin and eyes. Emissions are electrolytic, and are electrically conductive and corrosive.

To avoid injury:

• Servicing and connection of batteries shall be performed by, or under the direct supervision of, personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required safety precautions.

• Always wear eye protection, rubber gloves, and a protective vest when working near batteries. Remove all metallic objects from hands and neck.

• Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep all open flames and sparks away from batteries.

• Use tools with insulated handles; do not rest any tools on top of batteries.

• Batteries contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Battery post terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling (California Proposition 65).

• Wear protective clothing (insulated gloves, eye protection, etc.) whenever installing, maintaining, servicing, or replacing batteries.

• If any battery emission contacts the skin, wash immediately and thoroughly with water. Follow your company’s approved chemical exposure procedures.

• Neutralize any spilled battery emission with the special solution contained in an approved spill kit or with a solution of 2.2 kg (one pound) bicarbonate of soda to 3.8 liters (one gallon) of water. Report chemical spill using your company’s spill reporting structure and seek medical attention if necessary.

• Never use uninsulated tools or other conductive materials when installing, maintaining, servicing or replacing batteries.

• Use special caution when connecting or adjusting battery cabling. An improperly conne cted battery cable or an unconnected battery cable can make contact with an unintended surface that can result in arcing, fire, or possible explosion.

Recycling and Disposal Instructions

Spent or damaged batteries are considered environmentally unsafe. Always recycle used batteries or dispose of the batteries in accordance with all federal, provincial (or state) and local regulations.

Electrical Safety

• Lethal voltages are present within the power system. Never assume that an electrical connection or conductor is not energized. Check the circuit with a voltmeter with respect to the grounded portion of the enclosure (both AC and DC) prior to any installation or removal procedure.

• Always use the buddy system when working under hazardous conditions.

• A licensed electrician is required to install permanently wired equipment.

• Ensure no liquids or wet clothes contact internal components.

• Hazardous electrically live parts inside this unit are energized from batteries even when the AC input powe r is

disconnected.

• For cord connected model, the plug is the disconnect device. A socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment. For hardwired model, a breaker shall be used for a disconnect device. For IEC line cord option, the inlet on the cord is the disconnect device for such systems.

CAUTION! DOUBLE POLE/NEUTRAL FUSING:

For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating of fuse.

Grounding Connection Notes

In order to provide a ready, reliable source of backup power it is necessary to establish a grounding system that not only provides for the safety of the service personnel responsible for its operation and maintenance, but also facilitates the proper operation and protection of the equipment within the network. Such a grounding system will provide protection with respect to operator safety, system communication, and equipment protection.

Safety Ground

The safety ground is a two-part system. The first part is a return path for stray current back to the input breaker, and the second is a return path from the enclosure to a second ground rod.

Typically, the safety, or utility ground, provides a return path to the input breaker or fuse panel by means of a connection to an appropriate driven ground rod at the base of the power pole. This path must meet National Electrical Code (NEC) as well as local codes to ensure the breaker will open, preventing unwanted current flow from posing a hazard to service personnel.

Strike (Lightning) Ground

Lightning strikes, grid switching, or other aberrations on the power line all have the potential to cause “fast risetime currents” which can cause damage to the powering system. Without a low-impedance path to ground, the current, while travelling through wires of varying impedance, can produce high voltages that will damage the powering equipment. The most viable method available to protect the system from damage is to divert these unwanted “fast rise-time currents” along a low-impedance path to ground. A low-impedance path to ground will prevent these currents from reaching high voltage levels and posing a threat to equipment. The single-point grounding system provides a low-impedance path to ground, and the key to its success is the proper b onding of the ground rods, so the components of the grounding system appear as a single point of uniform impedance.

NOTE: Argus shall not be held liable for any damage or injury involving its enclosures, power supplies, generators,

batteries, or other hardware if used or operated in any manner or subject to any condition not consistent with its intended purpose, or is installed or operated in an unapproved manner, or improperly maintained.
