Precautions
Use Proper insulated tools during installation / service
The Lifting equipment of the batteries must withstand to hold the module weight during installation
Always follow the O & M Manual safety instructions
Avoid installation damages
Avoid short circuits
Space Consideration
Install VRLA battery bank in a clean, cool and dry location
VRLA Battery bank installation floor should be reasonably levelled
The location having an ambient temperature of 24° C to 30° C will result in optimum VRLA battery life and performance
Floor Loading
The Amaron Quanta VRLA batteries weight has been given in the Opera & Maiu manual.
The total System weight can be calculated from the Opera & Maiu Manual If floor loading exceeds the permissible limits, assemble the VRLA batteries on separate rack or approach ARBL nearest office for suggestions
Ventilation
No separate ventilation or battery room is required for VRLA batteries
Normal room ventilation is sufficient
Floor Anchoring
Generally the system does not required to be anchored
Where seismic conditions are anticipated, floor anchoring, should be provided
Such anchoring is the responsibility of the customer/end user
Temperature Variations
Sources of heat or cooling directed to a portion of the battery bank can cause temperature variations within the system
Results in module voltage differences and lead to premature failure of VRLA Battery system
Tools
3.5 Digit Multimeter with RMS value (Ripple) measurement
Spanner set
Safety
In normal use, Amaron Quanta VRLA Batteries will not generate or release hydrogen, oxygen gases, or acid mist and will not have acid leak. They are inherently safer than conventional lead acid batteries
However, there is a possibility that under abnormal operating conditions or as a result of damage, misuse and/or abuse, these potentially hazardous conditions (gassing, acid mist, and leaking electrolyte) can occur
Thus Amara Raja recommends that the instructions entitled "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" be reviewed thoroughly and strictly followed when working with Amaron Quanta VRLA Batteries.
