It is important that all personnel are aware of the dangers to road users that
could arise during repair and maintenance of traffic control equipment.
Ensure that the junction area is coned and signed as necessary to warn
motorists and pedestrians of any dangers and to help protect the personnel
working on the site.
Keep battery containers tightly closed when not in use.
If the battery case is broken, avoid contact with any internal components or
materials.
Do not handle near heat, sparks or open flames.
Protect battery containers from physical damage to avoid leaks or spills.
Place cardboard or other insulating material between layers of stacked
batteries to avoid damage and short circuits.
Do not allow conductive material to touch the battery terminals. A dangerous
short-circuit may occur and cause battery failure, fire, arcing, flash burns, etc.
Keep away from combustible materials, organic chemicals, reducing
substances, metals, strong oxidizers and water.
Batteries must be charged in a ventilated area. General ventilation is
acceptable.
Insulated tools must be used at all times and cases involving batteries.
For further information on proper battery handling see the Lead Crystal
Battery User Manual – 667/HB/47764/000.
Any traffic controller, Siemens type or otherwise, supported by the UPS must
be fitted with a 300mA RCD at its mains input point. This ensures the quality
of fault protection, no matter what fault scenario the installation may face.
