Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries Important User Information Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://www.ab.com/manuals/gi) describes some important differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices.

Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries 5 Storing Lithium Batteries • Store in a cool, dry environment typically 20° to 25° C (68° to 77° F) with 40-60% relative humidity. Regularly monitor the temperature and humidity of the storage area. • Use a first-in/first-out system for handling stored batteries. • Store the battery (with a copy of this publication) in the original containers away from flammable materials. • Keep track of storage time. Reference storage time to the date of manufacture.
PAGE 6
Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries The Code of Federal Regulations, 49 CFR 173.22a, relates to the use of packaging authorized under exemptions. In part, it requires that you must maintain a copy of the exemption at each facility where the packaging is being used in connection with shipment under the exemption.

Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries 7 Although the Environmental Protection Agency at this time has no regulations specific to lithium batteries, the material contained may be considered toxic, reactive, or corrosive. The person disposing of the material is responsible for any hazard created in doing so. State and local regulations may exist regarding the disposal of these materials.

Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries Disposal of Damaged and/or Leaking Batteries ATTENTION If the batteries are badly damaged and/or leaking, evacuate all personnel from the immediate area. You must wear protective clothing (protective eyewear, clothes, safety shield, and self-contained breathing apparatus). Do not: • pick up ruptured batteries with bare hands. Lithium can cause skin burns. Use tongs, scoops, or a shovel to place the batteries in a mineral-oil-filled container. • breathe fumes.

Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries 9 In Case of a Lithium Fire ATTENTION Do not use water or carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers in a lithium battery fire. Lithium reacts with these substances.

Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries 11 Installing the SLC 5/01, -5/02 and Fixed Controller Battery For battery installation or replacement do the following: 1. Open the door of the processor. Do not remove processor power. IMPORTANT Battery back-up is optional with the SLC 500 fixed controllers and the 1747-L511 processors. These processors are shipped from the factory with capacitor back-up that provides memory back-up of 5-30 days.
PAGE 12
3. Unplug the battery connector. The figure on page 10 shows the battery connector location. IMPORTANT The SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, and SLC 5/05 processors have a capacitor that provides at least 30 minutes of battery back-up while the battery is disconnected. Data in RAM is not lost if the battery is replaced within 30 minutes. 4. Remove the old battery. 5. Insert a new battery into the battery retaining clips. 6. Plug the battery connector into the socket. 7. Insert the module back into the SLC 500 chassis.
