It also includes information about replacement parts and maintaining your system. The Importance of Battery Watering Every time a battery is put through a full charge cycle, each cell loses water. This is because of the gassing phase at the end of the charge. During this phase, water is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen gas on the plates and eventually exits the cell. As the gas bubbles to the surface it mixes up the acid and prevents strong acid from concentrating at the bottom of the cell. The water that is lost in each cell must be replaced on a regular basis. Under-watering If watering is not done properly on a regular basis, the tops of the plates can be exposed to air. This will cause an immediate loss of capacity. Also the plates will sulfate and even when the water is replaced, the plates remain at lowered capacity. The more concentrated acid in the cell will cause further permanent damage to the battery and cause it to get much hotter than a well-maintained battery. Over-watering It is possible to put too much water into a battery. When the battery then goes on charge, the electrolyte level rises and can spill out onto the top of the battery and flow down the sides. This leads to many problems including: • A reduction in the capacity of the battery. One full boil-over of a battery will reduce the capacity of the battery by 3% to 5%. Every time a boil over is repeated a further 3% to 5% reduction in capacity occurs. This leads to shorter battery run time per shift (less time spent by the fork lift doing work) and over time to shorter battery life (more money spent on batteries). • The clean up of the acid can be environmentally sensitive. • Damage to floors and racks. The picture below shows the corrosion that can occur to a battery rack if over-filling and boil-overs occur. This rack needs to be repaired or replaced at a significant cost. 3 Philadelphia Scientific March 2008 Battery Watering Manual When to water Philadelphia Scientific complies with the industry recommendation to water batteries only after charge. It is not recommended to water a battery when the battery is in a state of discharge. Watering a battery at the wrong time will lead to the problems described above. It cannot be stressed enough that watering after charge, in conjunction with the use of a Battery Watering Monitor, is the only appropriate time to add water to a battery. Simplified 3-Step Watering Process: Step 1: Charge battery Charge Battery until it is completely charged. Step 2: Check battery watering monitor Look at the battery watering monitor to determine if water is needed: Blinky Basic Blinking green - Do not add water. No light - Ok to add soon. SmartBlinky Blinking green -- Do not add water. 8 Blinks green, 1 flash red - Water soon. Blinking red -- OK to add water. eGO! Blinking green; screen reads OK -- Do not add water. 8 Blinks green, 1 flash red; screen reads Fill Soon - Fill Soon. Step 3: Add water Only add water to the battery if the battery water monitor shows OK. Water the battery using the WaterInjector connected to a conforming water supply. Battery Water Monitors’ indications ACC-SWM-SRC SmartBlinky Cyclops OK to add water Do not add water. EGO-24ET EGO! OK to add water ACC-BWM Blinky Basic OK to add water 4 Do not add water. ACC-SREM SmartBlinky Do not add water. OK to add water Philadelphia Scientific Do not add water. March 2008 Battery Watering Manual Watering procedure with the WaterInjector system 1. Check the battery watering monitor First take a look at the battery water monitor LED. It is generally mounted on one of the centre cells of the battery, on the edge of the battery or on the DC cables. If it is blinking green, the battery has a high enough electrolyte level and no water is needed, if it is blinking red than the electrolyte level is to low and water needs to be added. - If after watering the battery the battery water monitor does not change to green then check to make sure it is not damaged. If the battery water monitor is not working, make sure this is noted so that the battery does not get repeatedly watered as over-watering may result. 2. Fill the battery • Check the water level in the water supply, if it requires water fill it from the Deioniser. • Turn the water supply power on. • Connect the ball valve to the quick connect on the end of the tubing on the WaterInjector string installed on the battery. • Open the ball valve all the way by turning a quarter turn. Do not open slightly. The WaterInjector system functions best with a full flow water supply. Inadequate pressure can cause the valves to not shut off. • Watch the spinner mounted on the ball valve. When it stops spinning, the filling is completed (about 15 seconds usually). • Close the ball valve to off by turning a quarter turn and disconnect from the WaterInjector. Do not add more water. • Move on to the next battery or switch off the water supply. Water Supplies Examples INJ-T10M Bladder Tank Pressurized Tank INJ-AFWS Change Tank Mounted to a battery change machine 5 Philadelphia Scientific March 2008 Battery Watering Manual Installing WaterInjectors and Battery Water Monitors. Health and safety precautions: Ensure the battery is disconnected from the charger and cells are not gassing before proceeding. Insulated tools should be used. Batteries contain sulphuric acid, always wear approved protective clothing (gloves, goggles and apron). Warning Philadelphia Scientific products should be installed by a recognised and trained installer. Incorrect installation will void the warranty and may cause damage to the battery. Installing Instant Install WaterInjector Strings 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Remove vent/watering caps from battery. Place WaterInjector adapters into cell vent holes. Tighten adapters if required. Remove any twists in the tubing after the system has been taken out of the bag. Position the Injector string in the same configuration as indicated in the recommended InstantInstall™ drawing. A drawing with the specific battery string layout is supplied with each new kit. DO NOT insert WaterInjectors into cells yet. Note battery cable routing to make sure it does not interfere with the system tubing. Snap in the Injectors. Insert WaterInjectors into cells, starting with the first Injector that follows the quick disconnect nozzle. Take care to route around, over or under battery output cables (as space allows) so tubing is not stressed, kinked or possibly damaged by movement of the cables. Check to make sure all WaterInjectors are snapped into each cell adapter and that the tubing is not severely compressed (so water flow won’t be restricted at any point in the system). Double-check that WaterInjectors are between the position marks on the tubing. Be sure all cables are tied down with wire ties to prevent system damage. Complete Installation checklist (appendix A). Typical Layout on 12-cell Battery Typical Layout on 18-cell Battery Typical Layout on 24-cell Battery 6 Philadelphia Scientific March 2008 Battery Watering Manual Installing Semi Assembled WaterInjector Strings 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Remove vent/watering caps from battery. Place WaterInjector adapters into cell vent holes. Tighten adapters if required. Remove any twists in the tubing after the system has been taken out of the bag. Position the WaterInjector string in the same configuration as indicated in the recommended layout, do not run in a straight line. Note battery cable routing to make sure it does not interfere with the system tubing. Mark the tubing on each side of each WaterInjector with a permanent black marker pen. Slide the tubing out of the WaterInjector to reveal the 2 black marks. Use the punch, INJ-311 to double punch two holes (4 in total, like a snake bite) in the centre of the black marks. Center the WaterInjector over the newly punched holes, aligning between the black marks. Warning; Failure to punch or properly align the holes will prevent the WaterInjector from properly watering the cell. Snap in the Injectors. Insert the terminating Injector into the last vent adapter. Trim the tubing long enough to totally cover the barbed end. Push the tubing completely over the barbed end of the terminating and secure with the clamp. Using installation tape, INJ-202 wrap 6 turns directly behind the first WaterInjector to prevent the tube from moving during use. Be sure all cables are tied down with wire ties to prevent system damage. Complete Installation checklist (appendix A). Installing SmartBlinky Battery Water Monitors Fitting the monitor 1. Choose a cell for the probe to be installed, making sure that the monitor can easily be seen. Do not install the probe to one of the outer cooler cells. 2. Depending on what type of cell lid you have, either drill a hole in a convenient place, or punch through a pre marked “Soft spot” with a screwdriver and hammer. The hole needs to be 8mm or if using a grommet a 12mm hole will be required. 3. To insert the grommet push carefully into the hole, the probe then fits inside the grommet, wet slightly to lubricate if required. The probe must be placed at the correct depth approx 5mm above the separator material. Trim the probe to the correct length with the pipe cutters or small saw. If a WaterInjector system is used on the battery the end of the probe must be deeper inside the battery that the tip of the WaterInjector. 4. When the probe is in the correct place connect the red wire direct to the negative terminal of the same cell. From the cell the probe is inserted, count 2 cells toward the negative terminal of the battery, the black wire connection will be made on this cell. The connection can be made direct onto the negative connection of the cell. Terminal Post Connection: Route the wire underneath all high current cables. Using the larger of the two screws provided fasten the ring at the end of the wire to the terminal. Cable Connection: Route the wire underneath all high current cables. Using the smaller of the two screws provided fasten the ring at the end of the wire to the flexible intercell link cable. Cover both screw and ring with a thin layer of silicone sealant. Take a piece of provided black self amalgamating tape and remove the backing paper. Place the short end against the flexible intercell link cable and wrap around it. The tape must be stretched slightly and wrapped tightly. Ensure the end of the tape is pressed down firmly when completed. Do NOT drill any holes and do NOT over tighten 7 Philadelphia Scientific March 2008 Battery Watering Manual 5. If the LED is remote find the location where the SmartBlinky monitor will be most visible, using the supplied clip secure the ,monitor by pushing the clip legs together and sliding in the space between the cells. Now gather any excess wire to protect from damage and secure in two places with the supplied cable ties. If the LED is a cable connect securely place between the cables with the ties provided. Testing the monitor After filling the battery with water to the correct level the monitor should start flashing bright green. Raise the probe until the tip lifts out of the electrolyte, after a delay the red light should start flashing. Push the probe back into place and the green light should start to flash. When the monitor is blinking green, the battery's electrolyte level is OK and no water is needed. When the monitor starts blinking red, the battery's electrolyte level is low and it is time to water the battery. Troubleshooting If the monitor does not start flashing after watering: 1. Check monitor for correct operation. 2. Ensure the battery is properly charged. 3. Wait 15 minutes if large amounts of water have just been added to a dry battery, this will allow the acid and water to mix. Installing eGO! Battery Life History Monitors Fitting the monitor, and temperature and electrolyte probes. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Pick a place for the eGO life history monitor to be installed. The eGO should be located in a place on the battery that is easily visible to the user, and also where least impact will take place. Locate the temperature probe (grey wire) and place in between the corners of the cell jars of the battery. The probe should be pushed down completely below the top of the battery. Locate the electrolyte level indicator probe (blue wire) and count 3 cells from the negative terminal following the path of the current. This is the cell the probe will be installed. Electrolyte probes are designed to fit in the corner knockouts of standard cell, using hammer and punch carefully punch out the hole. If none are available then drill a 12mm (1/2”) hole in the lid and use the mounting grommet (Be sure that the area under the hole will be clear all the way to the separator. Trim the lead probe at a 45 degree angle so the tip is 3mm (1/8”) above the separator material when fully inserted into the cell. If an injector system or other single point filling system is used on the battery, the end of the probe must be deeper inside the battery than the tip of the injector. Do not install the temperature probe to one of the outer cooler cells! If drilling a hole use Philadelphia Scientific ACC-041. Includes 12mm drill bit with collar. Be careful to limit the depth of penetration to avoid damage to plates or separators! Make sure the hole will be clear down to the plates and is not obstructed by any internal parts of the cell! Knockouts Drilled Hole Philadelphia Scientific 3mm (1/8“) Separator Material Monitor must not touch the separator material inside the cell! Connect the black wire direct to the main negative terminal of the battery. Connect the white wire direct to the main positive terminal of the battery. To activate the device connect the red wire to 12V this will be the positive cell terminal on cell six, (find cell 6 by counting from the negative terminal cell 1 along the path of the current). Do not connect the eGO to more cells than specified in these instructions. This will result in higher voltages to the unit and will cause the internal safety fuse to blow. If fuse blows the unit must be replaced! Correct installation is crucial to the accuracy of the data gathered and the life of the product. Ensure the eGO is powered by exactly 6 cells/12 volts! Welded connection Drill a pilot hole with 3mm drill bit. Using the three screws provided fasten the ring at the end of the wire to the terminal. Using cable ties secure the wires in a secure place. Bolted Connection The bolt on connection should always be installed immediately below the head of the bolt. Standard battery grease should be applied between the eGO connector and the inter-cell cable. Use torque wrench to tighten bolt. Using cable ties secure the wires in a secure place. 8 Philadelphia Scientific March 2008 Battery Watering Manual Water control option installation If equipped with WaterControl the eGO! will have been supplied with a Philadelphia Scientific Stealth System which features quick fit releasable couplings. After fitting the Float valve system to the battery, the WaterControl valve must be connected. The WaterControl valve must be connected before the first valve and securely mounted to the battery to prevent damage. The Stealth system should then be connected to the WaterControl Valve. The push fit tubing will only fit in to the output side of the valve. The quick connect & filter assembly is included in the float system package. Connect this assembly to the barb side of the WaterControl valve. All barb connections should be secured with locking collars and checked. Start up procedure. When the power is connected to the eGO! the self diagnostics routine starts. The configuration routine will run each time the eGO! is restarted. The eGO! will display the product name and the version number of the embedded software. The eGO! tests the LED indicator lamp. The eGO! will turn the indicator LED RED and display the message RED LED ON. The eGO! will turn the indicator LED GREEN and display the message GREEN LED ON. The eGO! will turn the indicator LED BLUE and display the message BLUE LED ON. The eGO! will then test to see if a water solenoid has been fitted. The solenoid (If fitted) will be powered and tested. If the solenoid is operating properly the message “AutoFill ON” will be displayed. If there are no solenoids found, it will display the message “AutoFill OFF”. The eGO! has then completed the configuration of it’s peripherals and it will display the configuration confirmation screens. Please verify that the eGO! configuration is correct. If the configuration confirmation is correct, the eGO! is installed and working properly. Please confirm that all connections are correct and that the electrical connections are secure and protected. Double check the locations of all the connections and probe locations are correct. Please watch the display screen to ensure that everything configures correctly! This is a Life History Monitor and will not record an accurate history if the connections or the probe become disconnected! 9 Philadelphia Scientific March 2008 Battery Watering Manual How to Order Systems for Your Facility Contact your Philadelphia Scientfic or battery distributor to order WaterInjector Systems, battery water monitors and Deionizer systems.

Flooded industrial batteries need water; battery performance depends on water purity. Well-maintained industrial batteries are watered several times a month. During battery charge the water breaks down to H2 and O2. After the water evaporates most of the water contaminants remain and will accumulate in the battery. The detrimental effects of contaminants include: general loss of capacity, increased self-discharge, decreased charge acceptance and excessive gassing, which may lead to water loss. Impurities reduce the life of a battery: Battery water should be free from metallic impurities because they can affect cell voltages and increase self-discharge. Also to be limited are calcium and magnesium compounds found in hard water because these may cause mossing and dendrite growth through the separators. The old way to avoid impurities was to use distilled water, made by boiling water and condensing the steam. The easiest and most cost effective way to avoid impurities is to use deionized water which is perfect for watering batteries. With the PS-300 Water Deionizer, tap water is passed through a cartridge containing beads of cationic and anionic resins which electrostatically remove the impurities. The result is very pure water. When the cartridge becomes exhausted it is simply replaced with a fresh one. PS 300 Deionizer Stand not included. Installation & Operating Instructions Model PS-300 Deionizer 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 11 Remove the cartridge from the mounting plate to ease installation. Thread two (2) male quick-connect fittings onto each end of the cartridge. Find one fitting plugged into the black input hose and the other packaged with the Purity-Light. Attach the mounting plate vertically to the wall. Position the mounting plate with the strap at eye level to ease cartridge replacement. Re-attach the cartridge to the mounting plate with the strap. NOTE: The water flows down through the cartridge for proper results. Attach one end of the input hose to the water supply and the other end to the top of the cartridge. Attach the Purity-Light to the bottom of the cartridge. Connect the blue output hose to the threaded bottom of the Purity-Light. Attach the Flow Restrictor to the output hose. Place the output hose into a sink or drain. Turn on the water and ensure all connections are watertight. Operate for a few seconds to flush out any residue in the system. NOTE: When using the Deionizer without a Gun, use the provided Flow Restrictor when flushing out the system. Plug the Purity-Light into a wall outlet. If an extension cord is necessary, ensure the connection is placed away from any water drips. The light should glow continuously when installed properly. Turn on the water until all the air is exhausted and a smooth, steady flow emerges. The system is now operational. When finished, turn off the water to relieve the pressure on the hoses. Coil the hose and store on the hanger provided. When Deionized water is needed, place the output hose into water tank on the battery changer and turn on the water supply to the Deionizer to dispense the water. When the tank is full, turn off the water and remove and coil the hose for storage. The Purity-Light is left on permanently. Estimated lifetime of the bulb when left on continuously is seven (7) years. As the cartridge becomes exhausted, the Purity-Light will begin to flicker. This is the signal for cartridge replacement. The water is still pure and usable during this time. When the Purity-Light no longer illuminates during operation, the cartridge must be replaced. The contents are non-toxic and can be disposed of without special treatment. Philadelphia Scientific March 2008 Battery Watering Manual Maintenance of WaterInjector Systems How often should you check cells? This should be completed during any PM interval. A battery should be checked for proper watering about once a quarter. This preventive maintenance step ensures Single Watering System operating optimally without compromise. What would a properly filled cell look like? The electrolyte should be at least 6.5 mm over moss shields. How can you tell if the WaterInjector is working? The WaterInjector is either watering the cell or water is squirting out of the side of the Injector tee. The quick fill of the Philadelphia Scientific System allows for immediate diagnosis of this. How can you tell if Injector is properly aligned? In November of 2003 Philadelphia Scientific employed a new bushing design inside its’ WaterInjector tee. This change ensures that water is either flowing into the cell or shooting out the side of the WaterInjector. If the latter is the case this will alert the operator to a misalignment problem. The WaterInjector tee is placed between the two black mark designations on either side of the Injector tee. If a Semi-Assembled string is being utilized Philadelphia Scientific strongly recommends that the install team mark each side of the Injector after hole is punched. It is also recommended to check Injector strings when change out occurs to ensure that the Injector String has not been compromised during change out from truck to rack. Points of emphasis: Philadelphia Scientific WaterInjector systems require 25-35psi dynamic pressure to operate optimally. If your facility does not meet these requirements please utilize one of our many water supplies that will ensure adequate pressure and flow rates. Philadelphia Scientific complies with industry recommendation to water batteries after charge. It is not recommended to water a battery when battery is in a state of discharge. When batteries are watered before charging they will always force out excess fluid during the gassing phase (the end of charge). Upon discharge, the electrolyte or battery fluid is absorbed into the battery plates, so the electrolyte level is at its lowest level. This means that even a full battery will accept water when it is discharged, which can lead to an over-filling of the battery. Once placed on a charger, the process forces the electrolyte out of the plates and into the cell thus raising the fluid level. If more water has been added than can fit into the battery cell it will be forced out of the cell. When the fluid level reaches the bottom of the vent well, it has nowhere to go but out of the vent portion of the cap or single point cap. Philadelphia Scientific strongly recommends the usage of a battery monitor (Blinky, SmartBlinky, eGO!) to ensure correct watering intervals. Water the battery until the WaterInjector stops automatically, even if the battery water monitor changes to green during filling. Do not try to put more water into the battery when the WaterInjector system has stopped until the battery water monitor indicates it is required. Turn the water supply off after watering the batteries. Always check the water level in the water supply before watering to ensure that there is sufficient water and turn the water supply off when not in operation so that the pump does not run dry. 12 Philadelphia Scientific March 2008 Battery Watering Manual Safe working practise - battery watering Job Description: Battery watering Work Practice: Battery maintenance Hazard/Risk: Electric shock, burns, fume inhalation, sprains and strains SAFE WORK PRACTICES Ensure you have received training before watering batteries. If equipment is broken, log problem in the Maintenance Log Book and place a Do Not Use sign on the equipment. • Do not disconnect batteries without first turning off the charger. • Do not place tools and metal objects on the top of the battery. • • BEFORE YOU BEGIN Ensure you have access to safety materials, including a safety shower and spill kit. Wear acid proof gloves and apron as well as safety glasses. Ensure the correct signage and barriers are in place to ensure no machinery can enter the working space. To water the batteries follow the procedure below: Steps 1 Action Fill the water trolley with deionised water and plug it into the closest power point to the batteries. 2 Identify batteries that require water using the battery water monitor. A green light means that the battery has sufficient water. Red light indicates that the battery needs to be filled. Attach the Instant Valve on the water trolley to the end of the single point watering system. 3 4 5 Turn on the water trolley and open the instant valve. Observe the ‘spinner’ indicating the water flowing into the battery. When the battery is full the spinner will stop. Turn off the water trolley and disconnect the Instant Valve. Please Note: 1. Do not attempt to add more water once the spinner has stopped. 2. Only water after charging. 3. Always turn off the water trolley straight after use. 4. Only connect Philadelphia Scientific single point watering systems to the Philadelphia Scientific water trolley – do not attach directly to the water mains or any other plumbing system. 5. Never run the water trolley when it is low on water. 13 Philadelphia Scientific March 2008 Battery Watering Manual Product Code Item for WaterInjectors INJ-070 Hose List Price INJ-070 HydroCART Hose, 3m. $51.41 INJ-121 Quick connect, Female, male thread $25.40 INJ-198 Clear Tube type <2> for 18, 20, 24 cell injector string. $6.41 INJ-199 Clear Tube type <3> for 12 cell injector string. $6.29 INJ-212 Clamp, Vacuum Breaker 25pk $29.27 INJ-214 Repair coupling $12.34 INJ-250 Vent Adaptor, Quarter Turn (Packed 6 per bag). $1.33 INJ-253 DIN Vent, push in adaptor. $1.20 INJ-311 Tubing punch, injector system.
