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.
Refer to the Battery Information
■ ■
Sheet (included) for emergency
response procedures.
2. Important recommendations

If a long storage is planned, 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.

Figure 3 - Checking SOC (State of Charge)
• For SOC, push and hold for 3 s or
less and observe the LED's.
This will help to plan the next
refreshing charge.
Keep Evolion
packaging for continued storage or
is
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).
The Evolion
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.
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 a short time
and render the unit inoperable. It is
mandatory to check the SOC while in
storage every 6 months. 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
