3.4 Transport
If the battery is transported, it should never be exposed to excessive jolting or knocks.
If a battery is connected to a device during transport, it must be secured well and the current circuit must
be interuppted.
3.5 Battery service life
Generally speaking, the battery service life in standy parallel operation amounts to 3 - 5 years and
approximately 260 cycles at 100% discharge depth or more in cyclic operation. The actual service life is
reduced if the appropriate operating conditions are not maintained, (i.e. charging, discharging, working
temperature and storage).
We recommend charging the battery at an ambient temperature of between 5°C and 35°C to minimize
detrimental effects on its service life.
3.6 Battery recycling
The batteries are marked with a recycling symbol as illustrated below. At the end of their service life, the
batteries should be returned to the manufacturer or supplier or taken to a special collection centre so that
they can be recycled.
4. Registrations and Standards
— VdS registration
The batteries have been tested and recognized by the VdS (Verband der Sachversicherer) and
comply with the following standards:
DIN 57 510 / VDE 0510 Akkumulatoren und Batterien, ortsfeste Batterien
DIN 43 534 “Wartungsfreie” verschlossene Akkumulatoren mit festgelegtem Elektrolyt
DIN 43 539 part 5 Prfungen “wartungsfreie” verschlossene Akkumulatoren mit festgelegtem
Elektrolyt
— UL approval
The batteries have received recognition from the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and have been
registered under the number MH 15705.
— IATA classification
The batteries have been cleared by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) for transport
in aircrafts and have received the classification “leak-proof”.
5. Testing and inspecting alarm devices
In order to gurantee that the alarm device is in working condition, qualified personnel must carry out
inspections and servicing regularly.
Inspections must be carried out at least once every 3 months at approximately equal intervals to comply
with DIN VDE 0833 part 1.
Servicing must be carried out at least once per year, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
The annual services may be linked with the quarterly inspections if so desired, meaning that all sections
of the apparatus are inspected within one year.
For the battery of an alarm device this means:
quarterly tests and annual malfunction simulations of the operating duration with the consumers.
We recommend carrying out the battery capacity test in accordance with DIN 43 539 part 1, whereby the
battery manufacturer’s instructions are to be observed.
