Hardware Installation Process
The following section outlines the hardware installation process for FED units.
Preparation
Each battery container should be thoroughly cleaned before FED devices are mounted. Debris and acid
should be removed from the case to ensure an accurate measurement of electrolyte levels.
Mounting
Each FED unit is mounted using the guiding line on the sides of the device. Line up the guiding line with
the fill line of the container. The placement of the FED will determine where it detects a low level. If
desired, the guiding line can be placed above the fill line of the container for a “tighter” alarm limit.
Placement is dependent on user preference for how quickly the container will be in alarm due to a drop
in fluid level. Press firmly and hold the FED in place for 30 seconds to a minute to assure proper
adhesion to the jar.
Note: The FED must be below the existing fluid level to calibrate properly. The container’s fluid level
should be at the desired height for normal operation.
