102. Receiving, Moving and Storing Systems and Batteries
102.1 Shipping Damage
Synchron inverter systems and batteries are shipped separately.
Carefully inspect all cartons upon receipt for evidence of shipping damage.
Notify carrier immediately of leaking or damaged cartons for possible concealed damage.
102.2 Moving Units and Batteries
CAUTION: Batteries and Synchron Electronics cabinets are very heavy. Proper equipment should
always be used to move batteries and units to avoid damage and personal injury.
WARNINGS:
• ALWAYS WEAR PERSONAL EYE PROTECTION WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES - SEE PAGE 10
• Batteries contain liquid caustic or acid electrolytes which CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
Care must be taken when moving batteries to avoid tipping and spillage of electrolyte material.
In case of accidental spill.
FIRST AID:
• EYES:Flushimmediatelywithowingwaterforatleast15minutes.Seekmedicalattention.
• EXTERNAL: Flush immediately with water. Seek medical attention.
102.3 Temporary Storage of Units and Batteries
For temporary storage of Synchron inverter systems and batteries prior to installation, select a clean, cool, dry
location with normal ventilation for human habitation and level oors.
CAUTION:BatteriesandSynchronElectronicscabinetsareveryheavy.Checktoassurethattheoorinthe
temporary storage area is capable of safely bearing the load.
IMPORTANT:
Lengthy storage of batteries will cause irreversible damage to the cells.
Failure to connect Synchron inverter system batteries to an energized charging circuit within 90 days from
the date of shipment will void the battery warranty.
Storage Temperature:
Store all batteries at 10° to +30° C (50° to +86° F). Batteries will have a longer shelf life if stored at 10° to +30° C (50°
to +86° F). The Synchron electronics and battery cabinets may be stored at -20° to +60° C (-4° to +140° F).
Ventilation:
The air around the unit must be clean, dust-free, and free of corrosive chemicals or other contaminants. Do not place
the Synchron inverter system or batteries in a sealed room or container.
DANGER: EXPLOSIVE - CAN CAUSE BLINDNESS OR OTHER SEVERE INJURIES.
Every type of battery can produce hydrogen gas, even sealed, maintenance-free batteries. The gas is vented through
the vent caps and into the air.
Donotallowsmoking,sparks,oramesinbatterystoragelocationbecausehydrogenisconcentratedunder
the vent cap of each cell of the battery. Hydrogen is highly explosive, and is hard to detect because it is
colorless, odorless, and lighter than air.
