DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Battery Circuit Breakers must be installed according to the specifications
and requirements defined by Schneider Electric.
• Servicing of batteries must only be performed by qualified personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep
unqualified personnel away from batteries.
• Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting
battery terminals.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
OVERHEATING OF DC TERMINALS AND CABLES
Overheating of the DC terminals or DC cables to dangerous temperatures may
occur due to improper installation.
• Do not put anything between the cable lug and the terminal surface.
• Do not over-tighten connections; observe all recommended torque values.
• Do not apply any type of anti-oxidant paste until after the cable connection
is tightened.
• Do not under size cables; install cables sized in accordance with national
electrical code requirements.
• DC cables must have crimped copper compression lugs or crimped and
soldered copper compression lugs; soldered connections alone are not
acceptable. Lugs must be rated for use with fine-stranded cable.
• Do not use coarse-stranded cable; the lack of flexibility may pull DC
terminal connections loose.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
Note: When making DC connections, be sure to observe correct hardware
stacking and proper polarity, and ensure that nothing obstructs the connection
between the terminal surface and the battery cable lug. (See Figure 3-8 on page
3–14.)
