Maintenance
Do not use the Product in applications in which there is a
possibility of loss of life or bodily harm, such as with
medical devices, or other devices that may significantly
affect the public or society.
This Product is intended for short-term backup in
applications for which AC power is constantly supplied.
Follow the procedure described in Battery Overdischarge
on page 4 if the AC power is turned OFF or the power
failure lasts for a number of hours. The service life of the
battery will be considerably reduced, which may render
recharging and backup impossible.
Follow the procedure described in Battery Overdischarge
on page 4 to prevent battery overdischarge. If the battery
is overdischarged, service life of the battery will be
considerably reduced, which may render recharging and
backup impossible.
The battery may generate flammable gases when it is
charged, so that fire or explosion may be caused. Do not
use the battery in a tight area or near an object that
generates sparks, such as contactors, relays, or static
charge.
Loose screws ma y cause fire. Tighten the terminal screws
with torque of 1.08 N·m and tighten the connector screw
and threaded flange with torque 0.20 N·m.
Loose screws may result in fire. The tightening torque for
terminal screws on the Battery Holder is 0.74 N·m.
Electric shock may be caused. Do not remove any
connector covers from a connector unless using Bus line
connectors.
When connecting the Basic Block and DC Backup Block,
lock the slider and rail stopper. If they are locked
insufficiently, linkage may be disconnected due to
vibration, causing electric shock.
Insufficient charge, overdischarge, or faulty operation of
ov erload protection during backup operation s witching will
considerably reduce the service life of the battery, which
may render backup impossible. Do not connect a load or
capacitor between the S8T-DCBU-01 and the battery.
If a battery other than the designated ones is used, ignition
and fire may be caused. Do not use batteries other than the
designated ones.
Cracks will generate in the battery to cause leakage of
electrolyte. Do not apply resin including a migrational
plasticizer on the battery.
A short circuit may cause heat or spark, possibly causing
a damage to battery, fire or explosion.
When using metallic tools to install the battery to the
Battery Holder , use one insulated with vinyl tape or the like.
Wrong connection may cause smoke or fire. Connect the
battery correctly.
Install and ship the Battery Holder in the specified
direction. Installing or shipping the Battery Holder in a non-
specified direction may cause the battery fluid to leak.
Protection against battery liquid leaking will not be
possible, and the battery may produce smoke or may
ignite.
The battery may deteriorate quickly and cause fire.
(Operating temperature range of a battery: 0 to 40°C)
Do not operate the battery in an area exceeding 40°C.
Do not use the Product in locations subject to corrosive gases.
If the Product is used or left in atmospheres with corrosiv e
gas, the corroded contact surfaces of the switches or relays
ma y cause contact instability or contact failure and render
battery recharging or backup operation impossible. In the
worst case, corrosive gas entering the battery may cause fire.
Smoke and fire may be caused. Do not use new and old,
different types, and different residual capacities of
batteries mixed.
Internal parts may be deteriorated or damaged if the Product
is used for applications with frequent inrush current at the load
end. Do not use the Product fo r such applications.
A battery could be dangerous if it is used incorrectly.
Follow the precautions of a battery when using.
Minor burns may occur due to high temperatures. Do not
touch the Product while power is being supplied or
immediately after power is turned OFF.
Electric shock ma y be caused. Do not add or separate the
DC Backup Block during power-on.
If the equipment must be stopped in an emergency, turn
OFF the AC power and disconnect the battery. If only the
AC power is turned OFF, power will be supplied from the
battery and the connected equipment will continue to
operate. This ma y result in damage to equipment or injury.
Fire may be caused if the fully drained battery is kept in
use. Replace the battery immediately if it is fully drained.
If malodor, abnormal noise, smoke, or fluid is issued from
the battery, turn off the switch of the Battery Holder.
Continuation of operation in this state may cause fire.
Battery fluid may cause loss of sight or burn injuries. Do not
touch any fluid leaking from the battery. If the fluid comes into
contact with your eyes or skin, immediately flush the area
thoroughly with clean water and get medical attention.
Shocks or vibrations may cause battery performance to
deteriorate. Do not use the Battery Holder in locations
subject to shocks or vibrations.
Electric shock may be caused. Do not disassemble the
Product or touch internal parts during power-on.
When performing maintenance, disconnect the battery
before turning OFF the AC power. (Refer to Battery
Overdischarge on page 4.) If only the AC power is turned
OFF, power will be supplied from the battery and the
connected equipment will continue to operate.
A dropping battery may cause injuries and burns caused
by leaking electrolyte. Do not drop the battery during
installation of the battery or Battery Holder or replacement
of the battery.
