    This danger symbol will figure in this document to indicate all the messages relating to staff safety. WARNING ! Before unwrapping, transporting, installing or handling YUASA VRLA batteries, read carefully this paragraph on RISKS and SAFETY MEASURES, as well as all the paragraphs in which the danger symbol appears.
  • Page 4  In case of contact with the skin or eyes, rinse abundantly with water and consult a doctor.  When handling the batteries for any reason, wear rubber gloves, safety helmet ( with visor) and make sure to be equipped with an individual eye-bath. ...
  • Page 5: 3/ Receipt Of A Delivery

     Connectors in bad working condition can provoke fires. Make sure that the connectors are in good working condition and verify that they are attached to the right tightening torque.  Disconnect the batteries from the charger/rectifier before any maintenance work.
  • Page 6: 4/ Storage Before Installation

    Warning: dangerous voltage levels may be present  Remove any hopping and fixing of the batteries before start up. Space the batteries to facilitate ventilation if possible.  Anything that does not conform must be informed in writing to YUASA’s logistics department. 4/ STORAGE BEFORE INSTALLATION 4-1/ STORAGE SITE ...
  • Page 7: 5/ General Installation Conditions

    The respect of these advices allows to store the batteries for few years. 5/ GENERAL INSTALLATION CONDITIONS The following chapter should be read carefully before starting the installation of YUASA batteries. 5-1/ POSITION OF THE BATTERY It is recommended that the battery be installed in a clean, dry and cool place.
  • Page 8 Valve Regulated Lead Acid batteries. Under normal floating charge conditions, very little gas will be released. YUASA NP/NPL/SW/SWL/EN/ENL/UXL/FXH/YFT/YUCEL batteries have a gas recombination efficiency of more than 95%. Good natural ventilation is enough to prevent all dangerous accumulations of gasses (see standards EN 50 272-2 or NFC15-100).
  • Page 9: 6/ Installation In Cabinets Or On Yuasa Stands

     Do not lift the batteries by their terminals (this may rupture the terminal sealing).  Respect the handling order of the packages. 6/ INSTALLATION IN CABINETS OR ON YUASA STANDS It should be noted that it is always preferable to install batteries on stands rather than in cabinets, for the following reasons: ...
  • Page 10: 7/ Electrical Connections

     During installation, ensure that there is sufficient space for good ventilation (use a gauge).  Using the stickers provided, and in accordance with Yuasa’s plan, number the top of each monobloc, making sure not to conceal the date code of the batteries.
  • Page 11 end cables, cable eyes or cables. First screw them in by hand, then use a torque wrench.  The terminal covers must be assembled on to the screw heads by means of manual pressure on the cylindrical part, then fold the black cover down on to the top of the battery.
  • Page 12 If all the Yuasa conditions of installation are respected, it’s possible to connect up to 8 strings in parallel. For an assembly of more than 5 strings in parallel, consult YUASA France.
  • Page 13: 8/ Charge

    If this is the case, following the transport or storage conditions, it is necessary to clean the terminals with a cloth and a sodium bicarbonate solution. Contact Yuasa for details concerning the dosage and procedure.  Terminal greasing is not obligatory except when batteries are installed in corrosive atmosphere (saline atmosphere, ...)
  • Page 14: 9/ Discharge

    11/ RECOVERING USED BATTERIES (LEAD): Recovering used lead acid batteries for recycling in a recycling plant can be performed by YUASA France at the client’s request. The following document must be used: “Bordereau de suivi des déchets” (“follow-up note for industrial waste”, contact YUASA’s logistics department).
  • Page 15  Pack VRLA batteries on a film-wrapped pallet or in a container (without the cardboard packaging).  Pack open batteries in a watertight container.  Nickel-cadmium batteries cannot be recovered without prior agreement from YUASA’s logistics department.
  • Page 16: 12/ Autonomytest Method During Commissioning

    12/ TEST METHOD FOR UPS BATTERY AUTONOMY DURING COMMISSIONING Recommended for SWL/FXH/EN batteries. For other batteries, please contact Yuasa 12-1/ AIM To ensure that the battery is working correctly and that the expected autonomy has been attained when the UPS has been switched off at the cut-off voltage.
  • Page 17 To reduce the charge time to 5 days, it is possible to carry out a boost charge at 2.35V per cell for 24h with a return to floating for 4 days. For other voltages or times, please contact Yuasa. 12-5/ AUTONOMY TEST (D DAY), CONTROL a/ Ensure that the temperature of the premises has remained constant and that the battery has not undergone a discharge since D-7.
  • Page 18 If the temperature is not 20°C, the expected autonomy must be recalculated with the minimum temperature obtained. This autonomy can easily be determined using our ISY light/indirect calculation calculator, which can be accessed freely at http://yuasa.itelios.net Extended autonomy: …………. min e/ Connect the charge bench to the UPS, and adjust the bench power.
  • Page 19 12-7/ AUTONOMY TEST (D DAY), SWITCHING THE UPS TO THE BATTERY a/ Start the chronometer when switching over and carry out as many of the measurements described in (12-6/) as possible, depending on the number of technicians available. b/ Take regular readings, for example every minute for autonomy of 10 minutes. It should be noted that the voltages of the blocks in the string with the lowest current must be verified as a priority.

  • Page 21 12-8/ A FEW POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS, OTHER THAN A BATTERY PROBLEM, FOR WHEN THE AUTONOMY IS NOT ACHIVED a/ Temperature too low in relation to the data. b/ Battery power higher than in the data. c/ Significant voltage drop in the cables between the battery and the UPS. d/ Battery not 100% charged.
