Battery safety precautions


Batteries
When servicing batteries, always wear protecting
clothing and glasses.
1 The electrolyte in batteries is a sulphuric acid
solution which is fatal if it hits your eyes, and which
can cause burns if it contacts your skin. Therefore,
be careful when handling batteries, e.g. when
checking the charge condition.
2 Install a sign prohibiting fire, open flame and
smoking at the post where batteries are being
charged.
3 When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas
mixture forms in the cells and might escape through
the vent holes in the plugs.
Thus an explosive atmosphere may form around the
battery if ventilation is poor, and can remain in and
around the battery for several hours after it has been
charged. Therefore:
- never smoke near batteries being, or having
recently been, charged,
- never break live circuits at battery terminals,
because a spark usually occurs.

Leading particulars
General description
The QAS 60-80-100 Pd is an AC generator, built for continuous running at sites where no electricity is available or as stand-by in cases of interruption of the mains. The
generator operates at 50/60 Hz, 230/240 V in line-to-neutral mode and 400/480 V in line-to-line mode. The QAS 60-80-100 Pd generator is driven by a water-cooled
diesel engine, manufactured by PERKINS. An overview of the main parts is given in the diagram below.

1. Each installation has to be prepared and reviewed very carefully before start-up. Wrong or incomplete wirings can damage the
! installation brutally !
2. Each application requires a specific combination of the following parameters:
- Auto / Semi-auto / Test / Manual / Block mode.
- Island / AMF / PS / FP / LTO / MPE / PMS application type (in AUTO mode PS / FP / LTO can be combined with AMF).
- Back synchronising enabled/disabled (parameter channel 7080).
Wrong parameter settings can damage the installation brutally !
3. To be able to start up in cold conditions, parameter 6181 (Start prepare) can be changed to a higher value to have some
preheating. Do not put this value above 60 seconds to avoid any possible damage.
4. For more information on the Qc4002 module and its applications, we refer to the Qc4002 User manual. If you need more
