x Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
x Use tools with insulated handles.
x Wear rubber gloves and boots.
x Do not lay tools or metal parts on the top of batteries.
x Disconnect the charging source before connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
x Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the source from
the ground. Contact with any part of the grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood
of such shock can be reduced if the grounds are removed during installation and maintenance
(applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply circuit).
x Do not smoke or introduce sparks in the vicinity of a battery.
x If the batteries have been in storage for more than 3 months, recharge them for at least 24 hours and then
test them with a load before installation.
x Each
AlphaCell TM battery has a date code found on the warning label which must be recorded in the
maintenance log. If non-Alpha batteries are used, see the manufacturer’s documentation for date code type
and placement.
Post installation weather proofing
After installing the conduits and removing any knockouts to accommodate conduit locations, ensure that any gaps
between the conduit fittings and the shroud are sealed. Apply a weatherproof caulking to gaps to prevent wind
driven rain from reaching the electrical equipment.
