5. Battery Installation and Connection Installing the Batteries and DC Wiring Important Safety Precautions The installer must take these precautions: 1. Wear protective clothing, eye-wear, rubber gloves and boots. Batteries contain corrosive acids or caustic alkalis and toxic materials and can rupture or leak if mistreated. Remove rings and metal wristwatches or other metal objects and jewelry.
105.1 Tools The following tools are required to install the system batteries. Other tools may be necessary if optional batteries have been ordered. CAUTION: Always use insulated tools for battery installation. Always torque to the manufacturer’s recommendations. • Petroleum Jelly • Slotted Screwdriver • 3-inch Socket Extension • Ratchet • Electrical Tape • Digital Volt-Ohm Meter 105.

105.4 Battery Cabinet Voltage Check and DC Fuse Installation Note: This procedure applies to a 36 battery system. Fewer steps may be required depending on the number of batteries in the system. Important: Always observe proper polarity when taking battery voltage measurements. 1. Using a digital volt-ohm meter (DVM), check for correct nominal battery voltage between right side of fuse block F1 and left side of battery cabinet terminal block TB2 (NEG -).
106. AC Connections CAUTION A. All LSN inverter system units contain hazardous AC and DC voltages. Because of these voltages, a qualified electrician must install the LSN inverter system, AC line service, and batteries. The electrician must install the AC line service according to local, state and NEC codes and must be familiar with batteries and battery installation. B.
5. If not previously done, remove knockouts for AC Input and AC Output in the top of the LSN inverter system (See Figure 1 in Section 104.1). CAUTION: Do not drill the cabinet; drill filings may damage the unit and prevent it from operating. If larger knockouts are needed, use a chassis punch to enlarge the appropriate knockout. Do not add additional or unnecessary knockouts.
107. RS232 Connections All LSN inverter systems are supplied with an RS232 communications port. This port may be used for remote monitoring and control of the system. Connecting the RS232 Port to a Computer or Terminal Note: Connections to the RS232 port must be wired according to Class 1 wiring methods as described in NEC Section 725, Part B. The LSN inverter system is provided with an industry standard DB-9 molded female cable. This cable is located within the LSN system inverter cabinet.
109. Maintenance Bypass Switch Phase Check If you are not using a bypass switch with the LSN inverter system, the phase check is not necessary, so you can skip this section and go directly to Section 110 to complete the system start-up. If the LSN unit does have a bypass switch, complete the following phase check once you have made all of the terminal strip connections and installed the batteries.
! CAUTION: If a Make Before-Break type bypass switch is being used, equipment will be damaged if the switch position is changed while AC line voltage is applied and the LSN system is turned off or operating in inverter (DC) mode. Make sure the LSN system is running on line (AC mode) and supplying output voltage before changing the bypass switch position. See the instructions supplied with your bypass switch. 7. Turn the bypass switch to the “LINE" position.

In The Event Of An Alarm Condition 1.
Alarm Message What it means ALM VA Hi 16218 15000 Unit has detected an overload and is about to shut down. ALM I2C Comm Microprocessor failure. ALM BattV Hi 182 177 Battery voltage is too high. ALM BattV Lo 125 127 Battery voltage is too low. If unit is in Inverter mode it is about to shut down. ALM BattV Nr Lo 130 132 Battery voltage is near Low level. ALM AmbT Hi 62C 60C Ambient temperature within the electronics ALM CktBrkr Trip One or more output circuit breaker has tripped.
206. Communications Each LSN system is supplied with a DB-9/RS232 communication port enabling the user to communicate with the equipment from a remote location. Owner must supply the connecting cable with a DB-9 Male end, and the appropriate connector at the other for the COM port used on the PC. Follow instructions supplied with the PC to set up communications through a terminal emulation program such as Hyper Terminal on Windows '95, '98.
The e-mail device automatically sends an e-mail to the addresses programmed whenever: • The unit performs a weekly, monthly or annual system test • The unit sounds an alarm NOTE: Communication option installation and wiring instructions are provided in the print package supplied with the unit. 208. Service Options Factory Start-Up Factory Start-Up is provided standard.
300. Maintenance 300.1 Safe Shut Down Procedure CAUTION To avoid possible equipment damage or personal injury, assume that there is AC voltage present inside the LSN inverter system unit any time AC input power or DC battery voltage is applied. The inverter is capable of providing output voltage from the batteries even when there is no AC input line voltage. When AC input voltage is present, the unit can provide output voltage even when the batteries are disconnected.
300.2 Routine System Maintenance The LSN inverter system unit is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. Its self-testing/self-diagnostic microprocessor will check the batteries and inverter regularly to ensure proper operation. The unit does require some routine attention to assure peak performance. Dual-Lite recommends a Preventative Maintenance check be performed by a qualified service technician at least every six months.
300.4 Battery Maintenance and Replacement This section provides precautions for qualified service personnel working with unit batteries. No user serviceable parts are within the system's cabinets Important Safety Precautions The service technician must take these precautions: 1. Wear protective clothing, eye-wear, rubber gloves and boots. Batteries contain corrosive acids or caustic alkalis and toxic materials and can rupture or leak if mistreated.
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. Battery replacement should only be performed by qualified service personnel familiar with battery systems.
5. Remove the batteries from the cabinet. Batteries can be very heavy, use proper lifting methods when removing battery. 6. Install new batteries following the instructions outlined in Section 105.3. Battery Disposal WARNINGS: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, the batteries could explode. Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is highly toxic and harmful to the skin and eyes. CAUTION: Batteries contain lead.
