Saft Evolion Installation And Operating Instructions

Evolion
®
Installation and operating instructions
1. Safety
Make sure to study and follow all
instructions. Misusing the Evolion
may cause it to overheat or ignite.
Do not short-circuit the power
■ ■
terminals.
Do not reverse connect the
■ ■
power cables.
Do not disassemble the unit.
■ ■
Do not subject the unit to
■ ■
excessive vibrations or drop the
unit.
Do not immerse the unit.
■ ■
Do not expose the unit to fire or
■ ■
temperature higher than 100°C
(+212°F). It may cause the
cell safety vent to open which
renders the unit inoperable.
Use only in Telecom power
■ ■
systems with a maximum rated
output of 60 V.
Refer to the Battery Information
■ ■
Sheet (included) for emergency
response procedures.
2. Important recommendations
If smoke is emitted from a unit, stay
clear of the smoke and evacuate
the area until the smoke clears.
Refer to the Evolion Technical
®
Manual for functional details.
See Figure 1 for operator interface
features.

3. Unpacking and inspection
When shipped, the Evolion
®
packaged in accordance with
UN3480 Class 9 Group 2.
Unpack and make sure all items
were received. Table 1 summarizes
the standard kit.
If items were not received or if
anything is damaged contact your
local Saft representative.
If a long storage is planned (more
than 6 months), check and note the
SOC (State of Charge) according to
Figure 3 and Table 2. A hole in the
packaging allows you to access the
unit without removing it from the
®
box. Refer to Figure 2.
This will help to plan the next
refreshing charge.
Keep Evolion
packaging for continued storage or
for transportation.

• For SOC, push and hold for 3 s or less
and observe the LED's.
4. Storage
is Store the battery in its original
packaging and in typical warehouse
conditions. The temperature should be
between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F).

In these conditions, the Evolion
be stored for up to 1 year from the
manufacturing date. Make sure the
unit is switched OFF during storage.
When OFF, the unit is in sleep
mode. In sleep mode, no voltage is
present on the terminals and the
internal electronic consumption is
very low.
NOTE: The Evolion
unit will
®
periodically and automatically wake-up
to record its state and to initiate cell
balancing if necessary.
IMPORTANT: If the unit is left
ON, it may over discharge in less
than 3 weeks and render the unit
inoperable. It is mandatory to check
the SOC, every 6 months, while in
a long storage period. See Figure 3
and Table 2.
If the Evolion is stored at a low SOC for
®
too long, it may eventually over discharge
and render the unit inoperable.
To conduct a maintenance charge:
• Connect according to Section 6
• Make sure the set-point voltage on
the rectifier is 56.0 V
• Charge for a total time according
to the available charge current
(see Table 3)
