®
Installation and operating instructions

1. Safety

Make sure to study and follow all
instructions. Misusing the Evolion
2.1 kWh 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.

3. Unpacking and inspection

When shipped, the Evolion 2.1 kWh
®
is 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.

4. Storage

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
2.1 kWh can 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
2.1 kWh 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 2.1 kWh 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 +/- 0.5%
• Charge for a total time according
to the available charge current
(see Table 3)
