Exact observation<br />
of the battery<br />
temperature up to<br />
12 hours after<br />
discharging<br />
resistance values and the voltages are stable.<br />
Observe battery temperature for up to 12 hours after a<br />
discharge period! The risk of thermal runaways (for VRLA<br />
batteries) is elevated direct after discharges when the<br />
charging process is started. Rising temperatures in<br />
damaged battery cells / blocs can cause fire. The highest<br />
risk of a thermal runaway and subsequent system damages<br />
has to be expected during approx. 12 hours after battery<br />
discharge. React immediately if the battery cell / bloc<br />
temperature rises after discharge phase instead of a slow<br />
decrease or stagnation.<br />
<strong>Safety</strong> <strong>instructions</strong> – for <strong>BACS</strong> configuration and installation<br />
Avoid installations in certain areas<br />
Do not install <strong>BACS</strong> in the following areas:<br />
In rooms which are not protected from water or high humidity, in wet or dusty places<br />
In areas with constantly high concentration of salted or oxidising gases<br />
Near to open flames, flying sparcs or heat sources, as well as in areas with extreme heat or at<br />
places with high variations in temperature.<br />
In areas with high vibrations or mechanical movements.<br />
In areas with high gas concentration or flammable materials.<br />
Monitoring System - Configure and monitor alarms<br />
<strong>BACS</strong> is a monitoring system and should be handled accordingly, assure a correct setting of the<br />
alarm threshold and appropriate reaction in case of alarms!<br />
<strong>BACS</strong> is a tool to increase the durability of the accumulators but its most important function is<br />
monitoring of the battery to avoid breakdowns. It is required to ensure a reaction within a couple<br />
of hours after any alarm. <strong>BACS</strong> is not able to balance battery or charger failures constantly but<br />
provides through its EQUALISATION and alerting functions, an advance warning time which<br />
should be used in any case to avoid fatal damages!<br />
Never mix different <strong>BACS</strong> C Module versions or <strong>BACS</strong> Measuring cabletypes ! You must not use<br />
<strong>BACS</strong> C REV 2 or 3 on the same Batterysystem, nor use <strong>BACS</strong> BC2 or BC5 cables on the same<br />
batterysystem or use BC2 cables with C Modules REV 3. This would damage the modules or lead<br />
to wrong measurings.<br />
