Decommission or Move the Modular Battery Cabinet to a New Location

Lockout/Tagout the battery disconnect devices in the OFF (open) position.

Remove the plate in front of the battery shelves.

Disconnect the battery terminals from the front of all the battery modules.

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Batteries can present a risk of electric shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions must be observed when working on batteries: Servicing of batteries must only be performed or supervised by qualified personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unqualified personnel away from batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they can explode. Do not open, alter, or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects. Use tools with insulated handles. Wear protective glasses, gloves and boots. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries. Set the battery disconnect device BB to the open (OFF) position before starting this procedure. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
Heavy load Battery modules are heavy and require two persons to lift. The battery module weighs 27 kg. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Servicing of batteries must only be performed or supervised by qualified personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unqualified personnel away from batteries. Recycle lead-acid batteries correctly. Batteries contain lead and dilute sulfuric acid. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with local and national regulations. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
risk of equipment damage Store the battery modules at an ambient temperature of -15 to 40 °C. Store the battery modules in their original protective packaging. Battery modules stored at -15 to 25 °C must be recharged every six months to avoid damages from deep discharging. Battery modules stored at over 25 °C must be recharged at shorter intervals. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Reinstall the plate in front of the battery shelves.

Disconnect and remove the DC cables and PE cables from the modular battery cabinet. See Connect the Power Cables between the Easy UPS 3S Pro UPS and the Modular Battery Cabinet for details.

Disconnect the signal cables from the modular battery cabinet. See Connect the Signal Cables between the Easy UPS 3S Pro UPS and the Modular Battery Cabinet for details.

For parallel connection only: Disconnect and remove the DC cables and PE cables between the modular battery cabinets. Disconnect and remove the signal cables between the UPS and modular battery cabinet 1. See Connect the Modular Battery Cabinets in Parallel with Easy UPS 3S Pro for details.

You can now move the modular battery cabinet by rolling it over the floor on the casters.

WARNING
TIPPING hazard The casters of the cabinet are exclusively for transport on flat, even, hard, and horizontal surfaces. The casters of the cabinet are intended for transport over short distances (i.e. inside the same building). Move at a slow pace and pay close attention on the floor conditions and the balance of the cabinet. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

The casters of the cabinet are exclusively for transport on flat, even, hard, and horizontal surfaces.
The casters of the cabinet are intended for transport over short distances (i.e. inside the same building).
Move at a slow pace and pay close attention on the floor conditions and the balance of the cabinet.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

For transport over longer distances or in conditions that are not suitable for the casters of the cabinet:

WARNING
TIPPING hazard For transport over longer distances or in conditions that are not suitable for the casters of the cabinet, ensure: that personnel performing the transport have necessary skill and have received adequate training; to use appropriate tools to safely lift and transport the cabinet; to protect the product against damage by using appropriate protection (like wrapping or packaging). Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Transportation requirements:

Schneider Electric recommends to reuse the original shipping pallet in combination with the original transportation brackets for long-distance transportation, if in undamaged condition. If the original shipping pallet is not available or is damaged, use an appropriate pallet suitable for the weight of the UPS with appropriate dimensions.
- Weight for the modular battery cabinet: 149 kg
- Appropriate pallet dimension for modular battery cabinet: minimum 1020 mm x 670 mm
Use appropriate means of fixation to mount the cabinet to the pallet. Follow the procedures in the receiving and unpacking manual to fix the cabinet to the pallet when using the original pallet and transportation brackets.

DANGER
TIPPING hazard The cabinet must be appropriately fixed to the pallet immediately after being placed on the pallet. The fixation hardware must be strong enough to withstand vibrations and shocks during loading, transport, and unloading. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
Unexpected equipment behavior Do not lift the cabinet with a forklift/pallet truck directly on the frame as it may bend or damage the frame. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Perform one of the following:

Decommission the modular battery cabinet, OR
Move the modular battery cabinet to a new location to install it.

Only for installing the modular battery cabinet in new a location: Reinstall the batteries in the modular battery cabinet after moving it to the new location. Follow the installation manual to install battery interconnections, signal cables, power cables, etc. See Installation Procedure for installation overview.
