[Disconnecting the battery] Step 1. Conirm that battery power is not in use by means of the VX-3000DS' front-mounted BATTERY POWER LED, which is unlit in this case. Step 2. Loosen the VX-3000DS' BATTERY POWER IN negative terminal screw, then pull out the negative battery cable. Notes • Never remove the positive cable irst to avoid battery short-circuit that occurs if the positive cable should contact the unit chassis or equipment rack. • Insulate the exposed end of the removed cable with insulating tape to avoid shorting to the other cable.

9. APPENDIX: Recommendations to the Power Supply Installation Incorrect installations of the power supply manager VX-3000DS and its related equipment as batteries can cause unnecessary fault indications. This information sheet gives you helpful hints and recommendations to avoid it. Please also take care on the battery handling hints. Battery Storage The recommended storage conditions (duration, temperature) of charged and uncharged batteries must not be...
Battery Connection Clean Contacts Take care that the connection terminals are clean before connecting the cables. Clean them if necessary. Ensure that the battery cables are inserted correctly into the battery terminals of the VX-3000DS and the screws are fastened tight. Add one crown gear (toothed washer) on one side of the battery’s terminal connection.
The temperature sensor must not be disconnected during charging of the battery because then the charging voltage becomes high causing the dangerous situations explained above. When exchanging the temperature sensor, the charging voltage of the VX-3000DS must be re-adjusted by TOA dealer. Installation In opposition to the battery, the temperature sensor reacts on ambient temperature changes, therefore it must not be exceeded to such changes.
At least one of the fuses at DC output terminals “POWER OUT 19-33V MAX 5A” or “POWER the blown fuse with the supplied one. If the fuse blows again, OUT 19-33V MAX 25A” blown. consult your TOA dealer. Internal fuse (15 A) of the VX-3000DS blown. Consult your TOA dealer. Either or both fans do not operate.

Check procedure 2: This measurement can be done with a slow voltmeter. Disconnect the VA unit’s power supply from the DC output from the VX-3000DS and connect a load of 5 - 6 Ω / 600 W to the DC output (when the current of the connected system components is known), then take care that the total current is approximately 5 A. Do not measure a too long time to avoid reducing the battery’s capacity too much.
