8.1 Safety Notes

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
Improper mounting and installation can cause serious perso-
nal injury and / or material damage.This work must only be
performed by authorised , skilled and adequate personnel
who have received instructions providing information on
the device and in observance of the local safety regulations.
• Before work begins:
• Before work on the battery begins check its completeness
and technical correctness.
• Ensure there is enough free moving space.
ATTENTION!
Please do not stick the battery block numbers over the
battery block valve cover.
During operation:
• When failures arise first of all switch battery off and pro-
tect against reengagement.
When working on and with the battery it is necessary to
wear:
• Safety boots which protect against falling parts and
against slipping on non – anti – slip floor.

9.1 Safety Notes
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
Improper maintenance work can cause serious personal in-
jury and / or material damage. This work has to be performed
only by authorised, skilled and adequate personnel who have
received instructions providing information on the device and
in observance of local safety regulations.
9.2 Maintenance
ATTENTION! MATERIAL DAMAGE!
Never use a synthetic cloth or sponge to clean cells / mono-
blocs. Use water (wet cloth) without additives.
9.2.1 General Items and Checks (acc. to Operating
Instructions/Appendix)
Periodic inspections and maintenance are necessary regar-
ding:
• charge voltage and current settings,
• the discharge conditions,
• the temperature levels,

Mounting and Operating Instructions CEAG Battery Cabinets 40071860035 (N) March 2016 www.ceag.de
• the storage conditions,
• the cleanliness of the battery and equipment
• and other conditions relevant to safety issues and battery´s
service life (battery room ventilation, for example).
Periodic discharges can be used to assess the available
operating endurance, to detect faulty cells/monoblocs and
ageing symptoms of the battery, in order to consider battery
replacement in due time.
VRLA (Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid Batteries) batteries do
not require topping-up with water. That´s the reason why
they were called "maintenance-free" . Pressure valves are
used for sealing and cannot be opened without destruction.
Therefore, they are defined as "Valve-Regulated" lead-acid
batteries (VRLA-batteries).
Even if VRLA-batteries are called "maintenance-free" they
sometimes need inspection (see "Operating Instructions"
for details):
At least every 6 months measure and record:
• Battery voltage
• Voltage of several cells/blocs (approx. 20%)
• Surface temperature of several cells/blocs
• Battery-room temperature
Annual visual check:
• bolted assemblies (checking unsecure bolted assemblies
to adjust them)
• Battery rack and accommodation ventilation
If the cell/bloc voltages differ from the average float charge
voltage by more than a specified +/- tolerance as stated in
table 7 or if the surface temperature difference between cells/
blocs exceeds 5 K, the service agent should be contacted.

9.2.2 Cleaning of Batteries

It is not allowed to open valves and covers.
Never use a synthetic cloth or sponge to clean the cells and
plastic parts of the battery. Use water (wet cloth) without
additives.
After cleaning the battery cover has to be dried, e. g. with
compressed air or cleaning cloth.
