Fahrenheit 2V NB Module Installation and Operation Manual California Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, and other chemicals known to the state Proposition 65 of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproduc- Warning: tive harm.
IN REFERENCE TO 7. Never remove or tamper with the pressure relief valves unless for cell replacement. Warranty void if vent valve is THIS MANUAL: removed. 8. Inspect all flooring and lifting equipment – “Cell” is defined as an individual 2-volt unit for functional adequacy.
Cell Shipment RECEIVING & STORAGE CONT. Each cell will be in an individual sleeve. There will be a Module Shipment maximum of 6 cells per pallet. All battery accessories (connectors, terminal plates, hardware) will be included with a module pallet. The pallet will be indicated with an “Accessory”...
Hardware Torque Requirements INSTALLATION Bolt Size Torque/Retorque General Caution should be taken when installing batteries to insure 1/2-13 100ft-lb 135.5 Nm no damage occurs. The battery cabinet, tray, rack, etc. shall be 3/8-16 45ft-lb 61.0 Nm inspected for sharp edges that could cause damage to the battery casing.

SYSTEM INSTALLATIONS 7. Base and module layout should be compared to system CONT. layout diagram. All ½-13 x 1.75" hardware (2 per corner) 5. Remove hardware holding modules together (4 bolt assem- are to be installed on the inside of the module for module to blies) and holding modules to pallet (4 bolt assemblies).

8. Bolt assemblies (two per corner) are required on the 10. The system layout diagram should be consulted to outside of the module to complete the base to module determine module configuration. System design limits connection. All ½-13 x 1.75" hardware should be checked modules to be stacked no higher than 4 modules (8 cells for proper torque before proceeding.
SYSTEM INSTALLATIONS Star washers are to be installed with teeth towards module to CONT. ensure proper grounding. 11. Cell / Sleeve Installation — Install cells into modules. Cells Note: Top Plate hardware contains two different types of are shipped separate from modules. Cell polarity orientation star washers.
Bottom Shield Bracket Installation Bottom Retainer Bar 2. Module layout should be compared to system layout diagram and all hardware should be checked for proper Safety Shield Bracket Installation torque before proceeding. Consult “Hardware Torque Requirements” (pg 5) for proper torque values. 1.

TERMINAL ASSEMBLY 5. Install terminal plate to battery posts using 1/4-20 x 1.00" CONT. hardware. 2. Remove module bolts directly behind location of terminal plate. 3. Replace flat washer with cap washer. Re-install 3/8-16 x Terminal Plate to be installed on battery posts as shown 1.25"...
Side Termination 8. Lug Hole Layout — Top terminal plate designed to use up to 0.50" dia. bolt and a maximum 1.75" centers and Consult system layout diagram for side termination location. 1.188" min., 2 hole lug. 1. Remove safety shield bracket if required. .56 DIA.

TERMINAL ASSEMBLY 7. Install Side Terminal Shield to Side Terminal Plate using CONT. ¼-20 screws. 4. Connect side terminal plate to side terminal plate connectors. Tighten but do not torque hardware. Side terminal bracket and side terminal connectors may have to be adjusted to insure plate and connectors are flush.
CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY 5. NB battery systems are supplied with multiple connectors to be used per battery post. A 2CU connector package will 1. The contact surfaces of each individual post on every cell require 2 connectors per connection (1 per side), see ex- have been cleaned and coated with a thin film of No-Ox-ID ample below.
CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY CONT. 4. Battery performance is based on the output at the battery terminals. Therefore, the shortest electrical connection between the battery system and the operating equipment results in maximum total system performance. Select cable size based on current carrying capability and voltage drop.
Equalizing For top terminal assembly, align protective cover in front of top terminal plates. Mark area of protective shield that is required to Upon installation of the battery, an optional boost charge of be removed in order to fit between the terminals. Cut protective 2.40 vpc ±...
RECORD KEEPING Upon completion of the acceptance test, the battery system CONT. should be placed on float charge at 2.25 volts per cell to restore the battery to its’ rated capacity. Batteries should not require an equalization charge once they have passed their initial acceptance test. Consult with East Penn Reserve Power’s Product Support group before performing additional equalizing charges on batteries that have successfully passed their initial acceptance test.
Capacity Testing 7 Thread Polypropylene rope through the battery posts as illustrated below and knot. Per IEEE 1188 “Capacity testing is used to trend battery aging. The result of a capacity test is a calculation of the capacity of the battery. The calculated capacity is also used to determine if the battery requires replacement.”...
