8. Filled lead-acid batteries contain highly explosive gas (hydrogen/ air<br />

mixture). Never smoke, handle open flames or create sparks near the<br />

batteries. Always avoid electrostatic discharge; wear cotton clothing and<br />

ground yourself if necessary.<br />

9. Wear the appropriate safety clothing and equipment.<br />

For further information refer to the battery makers <strong>instructions</strong> for installation, commissioning and<br />

operating of their battery products.<br />

Warning!<br />

Check Modules<br />

during<br />

installation and<br />

initial charging<br />

Do not open the <strong>BACS</strong> sensor modules. Do not attach any<br />

kind of objects to the battery or the <strong>BACS</strong> modules itself<br />

apart from the connecting cables! The <strong>BACS</strong> modules and<br />

cables could be live!<br />

Do not apply any magnetic sensitive equipment near the<br />

<strong>BACS</strong> Webmanager, like monitors, disk drives, memory<br />

chips or magnetic tapes.<br />

The <strong>BACS</strong> installation should only be installed by<br />

qualified personnel. <strong>BACS</strong> is to be installed on batteries<br />

where high voltages could cause injuries or even death if<br />

not handled properly!<br />

The <strong>BACS</strong> connection cables (temperature cable, bus<br />

cable, measuring cable) could be live! To avoid short<br />

circuits, do not touch, replace or cut the <strong>BACS</strong> cables,<br />

before having disconnected the system off the batteries!<br />

<strong>BACS</strong> modules must NOT be mounted on a damaged<br />

battery! If a battery is damaged and the internal resistance<br />

is extremely high, the charge current, respectively<br />

discharge current would not flow through the battery but<br />

rather would search for a way with the lowest resistance,<br />

through the <strong>BACS</strong> module. In this case heating could<br />

destroy the <strong>BACS</strong> module. Therefore never use batteries,<br />

which are obviously damaged or show extremely high<br />

internal resistances.<br />

The GENEREX service technician should watch the<br />

<strong>BACS</strong> modules and the initial charge during the<br />

installation. It should be checked, if the <strong>BACS</strong> modules get<br />

very hot. This would be an indication for a damaged<br />

battery or incorrect mounted cables. Do not leave the<br />

installation place, before the <strong>BACS</strong> system has been<br />

completely installed and the battery charge has started for<br />

60 minutes. The system is safe and can be monitored<br />

remote, if the <strong>BACS</strong> system shows normal internal<br />
