Safety notes

It is assumed that qualified personnel only shall be deployed for the operation and

maintenance of the components available. Qualified personnel are individuals who, on the

basis of their education, experience and training, and their knowledge of the relevant

standards, regulations, accident prevention guidelines and operating conditions, are

authorised by those responsible for the safety of the components/system to perform the

respective necessary activities, and thereby identify and prevent any potential hazards.

Among other things, knowledge of first aid measures and the local emergency services is

required.

Failing to observe the operating instructions, not using original replacement

parts when carrying out repairs, performing unauthorised actions, or introducing

additives to the electrolyte, shall invalidate the warranty.

The following precautionary measures relate to the handling of Ni-Cd batteries and must

always be observed with respect to all the work instructions given in these operating

instructions.

Observe and follow the assembly and installation instructions and make them

visibly available at the installation site.

Only trained personnel may perform work on batteries. The instructions for use

must always be accessible to the persons in charge of handling the

rechargeable batteries.

When working on batteries, wear safety goggles and protective clothing. The

accident prevention regulations must be observed and followed.

Smoking is prohibited! No open flames, embers or sparks are allowed in the

vicinity of the battery as they pose an explosion and fire hazard.

Explosion and fire hazard; avoid short circuits.

Caution! As all metal parts contained within the battery cell are constantly

energised, do not place any foreign objects or tools on the battery. Adequate

ventilation must be provided in the battery room so that the explosive gases

generated during charging are removed (DIN EN 50272-2).

Keep an eye rinsing bottle ready at hand. Rinse eyes or skin sprayed with alkali

with plenty of clean water. Consult a doctor immediately. Wash clothing

contaminated with alkali with water.

Electrolyte is highly corrosive. During normal operation it is not possible to come

into contact with the electrolyte. Electrolyte can get released only if the cell

housing gets damaged.

Do not tilt the battery. The cells are very heavy. Use only approved lifting and

transportation equipment, e.g. lifting gear. Lifting hooks must not cause damage

to cells, connectors or cables.

Dangerous electrical voltage. Use only tools and measuring instruments that are

suitable and appropriate.

Ni-Cd batteries or cells fall under the fire class E (see DIN EN 2). In the event of electrical

fires, it may happen that the devices and equipment are live! Water and foam used for

extinguishing fires are ideal electrical conductors. You may suffer electric shocks.

Electrical fires must be extinguished using fire extinguishing powder or carbon dioxide,

CO2.

First-Aid Measures

Eye contact with the electrolyte

Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Rinse the eyes with boric acid solution if it is available.

Get comprehensive instructions at an eye clinic.

Skin contact with the electrolyte

Remove clothing soaked with the electrolyte immediately and wash off the main

body parts affected with plenty of water. In case of complaints, consult a doctor.

Skin that has come into contact with the electrolyte shows a soapy consistency,

which means that it must continue to be rinsed with water until this condition is

eliminated.

Swallowing electrolyte

Gargle with plenty of water and drink large quantities of water repeatedly.

Do not cause vomiting. Call for an emergency doctor promptly.

System Description

3.1 Waterfilling plugs

The plugs used to top up distilled water work

without any moving parts. The water is

pumped with a steady flow rate into the top-up

system and flows into the cells one after the

other. In the process, the air inside the cells

escapes through the vertical tube. As soon as

this tube gets submerged when the electrolyte

reaches the maximum level, air can no longer

escape and water intake is prevented.

The waterfilling plug is sealed off from the cell

with two O-rings so that air may escape

through the plug but not directly from the cell.

This is absolutely necessary for the cell to

work.

Figure 1: Waterfilling plugs

3.2 Flame arrestor

Hydrogen and oxygen formed while charging

are fed through the hose pipes to a central de-

gasification facility with flame arrestor and,

thus, released into the environment in a

controlled manner.

3.3 Waterfilling system

The waterfilling plugs are provided with two hosepipe connections each. The individual

plugs are connected to one another with hose pipes and, in this manner, connected

virtually in series to a water top-up chain. A hosepipe with a quick coupler is fixed at the

first and last plug in the series. The flame arrestor is installed during normal operation. To

fill up the battery, it is removed and the waterfilling cart is connected to the battery with

the help of the quick couplers. The topping up procedure may be started using the

appropriate button and then runs completely automatically. Water is pumped with a steady

flow rate into the system starting from the first plug and flows back into the waterfilling cart

when all cells have been topped up one after another. The water flows into an internal

intermediate tank from there. If this tank is full, the excess water is extracted from the top-

up system and the internal tank and pumped into the external residual water tank. The

top-up procedure is completed with this step. The waterfilling cart may now be

disconnected from the battery at the quick couplers and the flame arrestor system may

be reinstalled.

3.4 Waterfilling cart

The waterfilling cart with a 60 litre tank

enables simple topping up of the batteries at

site. The cart may be pulled easily with the

handle. The cart is provided with an internal

rechargeable battery in order to ensure the

maximum degree of portability.

Caution:

The waterfilling cart must be stored and

operated at temperatures > 0°C in order to

prevent the distilled water from freezing in

the tank and inside the carriage. It may get

damaged otherwise.

Before refilling distilled water, check the electrolyte levels. Refer to the battery

system's project-specific documentation for instructions

Ensure that the battery of the waterfilling cart is charged (LED 5 lights up in green

colour).

The storage tank must be filled up sufficiently.

The residual water tank must be empty.

1. Detach the flame arrestor from the battery.

2. Connect both the hose pipes of the waterfilling cart to the battery using the quick

couplers.

Caution:

Disconnect the waterfilling cart from the mains supply; it should not be

connected to the mains during the filling operation.

4.2 Filling Operation

1. Switch on the waterfilling cart; the

software version is displayed for 10

seconds.

2. Start the filling operation with the help

of the Start button.The pilot lamp lights

up in yellow.

Figure 6: Switching on

Figure 7: Display of the software version

Note:

The filling operation runs automatically. As soon as all cells have been filled, the

waterfilling cart extracts excess water from the connected hose pipes. The filling

operation takes a few minutes depending on the number of cells and the water level in

the cells.

Note:

Avoid overfilling.

Carry out the refilling activity once only per maintenance interval.

Repeated triggering of the refilling activity at the same maintenance interval can overfill

the battery system. This can lead to leakage of electrolyte and a higher pollution of the

battery system during operation.

In addition, overfilling will change the electrolyte density and the performance of the

battery can be negatively affected.

If cells are filled above maximum level, contact HOPPECKE service.

4.3 After the Filling Operation

After the water refill car has stopped pumping, the battery is fully charged. The display

shows the amount of water replenished in litres.

1. Disconnect the hose pipes from the waterfilling cart at the appropriate quick

couplers.

2. Reinstall the flame arrestor with the help of the quick couplers.

3. Drain the water extracted from the small tank.

4. Shut down the waterfilling cart and, if required, connect it to the 230V mains

supply to charge up the internal rechargeable battery.

Caution:

The water extracted may contain alkaline residues! Please observe and follow

the local / relevant provisions for disposal.
