2.4. BATTERY CONTROL connection
The battery drawers are equipped with a exhaustive discharge protection which is controlled by the
monitoring module in the charging device DEM 313. The monitoring circuit checks whether the battery’s
discharge voltage has been reached when the batteries are discharged. If the battery voltage is less than
19.5 V, measured at the battery poles, the consumers are disconnected from the battery and the battery
is thus reliably protected from exhaustive discharge.
Note! If the 15-pole plug connector BATTERY CONTROL has not been correctly connected with
the charging device, or if the battery voltage is lower than the discharge voltage, the battery
outputs are not live
The connection of the temperature sensor for the temperature tracking of the battery voltage takes place
via contact 5 (+temp) and contact 6 (-temp) of the 15-pole plug connector BATTERY CONTROL to the
charging device DEM 313. If the connection is faulty, the temperature tracking does not work and the
battery will not charged. (Also see the operating instructions for the charging device).
In the case of the battery module DEM 317, the temperature sensor is located in the module DEM 317A.
2.5 Connection for battery charging
Connection of the charging device to the battery takes place via the flat pin connector CHARGE
CURRENT. The plus pole of the charging device is to be connected to the plus pole of the battery, and
the minus pole of the charging device is to be connected to the minus pole of the battery. (Please also
see the operating instructions of the charging devices).
3. Notes for the user
3.1 Use of the battery is to be avoided in the following locations.
— areas exposed to direct sunlight
— areas with excessive radioactivity, infrared radiation or ultra-violet radiation
— areas with organic solvent vapours, dust, salt or corrosive gases
— areas with abnormal vibration.
3.2 Regulations for battery use
— Do not throw batteries into the fire. Do not place batteries in the proximity of fires.
— Do not short battery poles.
— Do not tamper with or open batteries.
— If the battery has been damaged and diluted sulphuric acid comes into contact with skin or clothing,
rinse immediately with plenty of water. If diluted sulphuric acid gets into the eyes, consult a doctor
immediately.
— Always re-charge a battery after discharging.
— Never use batteries with different capacities, different degree of discharge or a mixture of old and
new batteries together. The manufacturing dates should be within one month of each other.
— Batteries should be stored at as low a temperature as possible. If batteries are stored at normal
temperatures, additional charging is necessary once every six months.
3.3 Storage and additional charging
During storage the capacity is reduced due to self-discharge. The battery should be stored in a cool, dry
place.
If the average monthly temperature is between 20°C and 30°C, one additional charging procedure is
necessary every 8 months. If the average monthly temperature is less than 20°C, one additional charging
procedure is necessary every 12 months.
If a stored battery is used, one charging procedure should always be carried out before use.
