11Mounting- and Operating Instruction CEAG DualGuard-S 40071860347 January 2020 www.ceag.de4 Preparations for battery installation• The strings must have the same number of cells andtemperature.Ander these conditions a parallel connection of up to 4strings is possible. The discharge data refer to the end polesof each string.The lead battery Typee can also vary as long as the requiredcharging voltage (V/cell) per string is fulfilled.First pre-assemble each string individually. Make sure thatthe strings have approximately the same charge state, i.e.similar open-circuit voltages. Only then should the stringsbe connected in parallel.4.3 Mounting positions for AGM blocksThe following figures show possible installation positions forsealed AGM blocks4.4 OperationSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING!RISK OF INJURY!Improper installation can lead to serious personal injury and/or damage to property. The battery may only be operated byauthorized and instructed personnel familiar with the operati-on of the device and in compliance with all safety regulations.Before starting work:• Before starting work, check the battery for completenessand technically perfect condition.• Ensure sufficient freedom of movement. ATTENTION!Please do not stick over the battery valve covers when stik-king on the battery block sensors or battery block numbering!During operation:• In case of malfunctions, first switch off the battery andthen secure it against Atng switched on again.Always wear the battery when working on and with it:• Safety shoes for protection against heavy falling parts andslipping on non-slip surfaces.4.5 MaintenanceSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING!RISK OF INJURY!Improper maintenance work can lead to serious personalinjury and/or damage to property. This work may only becarried out by authorized and instructed personnel familiarwith the operation of the battery and in compliance with allsafety regulations.MAINTENANCE ATTENTION!Never use synthetic cloths or sponges to clean the blocks,only water (damp cloths) without additives4.6 General and controlsRegular checks and maintenance are necessary in relation to:1. the specified charging voltages and currents,2. the unloading conditions,3. the temperature distributions,4. the storage conditions,5. the cleanliness of the battery and equipment,6. and other conditions affecting the safety and service life ofthe battery (e.g. ventilation of the battery compartment).Sealed lead-acid Batterys do not require refilling with water.That is why they have been described as „maintenance-free“. They are sealed by overpressure valves which cannotbe opened without destruction. This is the reason for thedefinition of Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid Batterys.Sealed batteries require the following checks:Keep the battery clean to avoid leakage currents. Plastic partsof the battery, especially the vessels, must be cleaned withclear water without additives.Measure and record at least every 6 months:• Battery voltage• Voltage of individual cells/blocks (approx. 20%)• Surface temperature of individual blocks• battery temperatureThe optional battery monitoring system meets theserequirements automatically.
