6.3 Unpacking Carefully remove bolts and protective shipping hood. See Figure 3. Remove the bolts holding modules to shipping pallet. Also remove hardware bolting upper channels of modules together .
a module may have only one cell in a two-cell tray . For example, a 46 volt system will consist of eleven full mod- ules and one single-cell module. Assemblies can be rotat- ed 180° for proper polarity location. 8.1.1 Bottom Supports (I-beams) Locate bottom I-beam supports and M10 serrated flange bolts and nuts.

Apply a thin film of NO-OX-ID “A” grease (supplied) to all terminal surfaces, bolts, and washers. This will preclude oxidation after connections are completed. 9.1 Connections - System T erminals Each system is supplied with a terminal plate assembly for the positive and negative termi- nations.

10.2 System Polarity Labels The system polarity labels should be applied next to the positive and negative system terminals. 10.3 W arning Label Apply pressure sensitive warning label provided on a prominently visible module side or end.
18 Assembly Instructions: Install standoff legs and standof f keys to module channel as shown. The cover is then installed by grasp- ing it so that the GNB logo is upright. Locate slots at bottom of cover to bottom standoff legs and slide in place. Locate holes at top of cover and install to top standoff legs.
1. The initial charge is complete. Charger voltage can now be reduced to float voltage setting per Section 13.2. For a target float charge of 2.25 VPC on a 24-cell system, you would set the charger voltage to 54 volts. SECTION 13: BA TTERY OPERA TION 13.
20 13.5 Effects of Float V oltage Float voltage has a direct effect on the service life of your battery and can be the cause of thermal instability . A float voltage above the recommended values reduces service life. T able D shows the effects of float voltage (temperature corrected) on battery life.
