C H A P T E R 6 DC W NSTALLING ATTERIES AND IRING WARNING Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the battery and DC wiring installation. Risk of electrical shock exists. This section explains how to install system batteries, fuses, and cables. An electrician who is familiar with battery installations and applicable building and electrical codes should install the batteries.
Page 15
A qualified electrician familiar with battery systems and required precautions must install and service the batteries. Any battery used with this unit shall comply with the applicable requirements for batteries in the standard for emergency lighting and power equipment, UL 924 (Canada’s National Building Code). Cabinets are design to be used with, and batteries must be replaced with, manufacturer battery number BAT-CG12105 for some models and battery number BAT-CG12205 for other models or a manufacturer approved equivalent (see the battery wiring diagram that came with the...
Before Installing the Batteries Tools CAUTION Always use insulated tools when you work with batteries. Always torque connections to the manufacturer’s recommendations. When you work with system batteries, you need the following tools. The tools must be insulated so they do not short battery terminals to the cabinet. Wear the safety equipment required by local code whenever the doors are open and whenever you are working on batteries.
Installing and Connecting the Batteries Battery Wiring Diagram You should have received a battery-wiring diagram with your system. This battery-wiring diagram shows how you should install the batteries, make terminal, and fuse connections. Use the diagram as you follow the steps below. Location Before you start installing the batteries, you must install the system and any battery cabinets in their permanent location.
Page 18
Making the Equipment Ground Connection Each battery cabinet ground (or earth) must be connected to the system’s chassis ground. You can make this connection at the ground terminals inside the system and the battery cabinet as follows. CAUTION All grounding conductors should be insulated. If you are using non-insulated grounding conductors, take special care to make sure that the grounding conductors cannot accidentally contact live wires or the batteries.

Interconnect Connections between Battery Cabinets Systems that split a battery string between 2 battery cabinets (50.0 kW system): Find the battery cable that connects to the fuse block. At the bare end of the cable, strip off 0.5” (1.3 cm) of insulation. Insert the cable into the fuse block. Tighten the connection as shown on the battery-wiring diagram.
