Safety

Warnings, Cautions, Notes and Symbols

WARNING Important information regarding possible personal injury.
CAUTION Important information regarding possible equipment damage.
NOTE Additional information concerning important procedures and features of the battery.

Installation

WARNING Heavy Equipment Each AES battery weights up to 90 kg (200 lbs). A two-person lift is required. To prevent personal injury, always use proper lifting techniques during installation. Failure to follow these instructions can result in a serious injury if the battery falls or is dropped on a person.
WARNING Heavy Equipment For structural and seismic stability, the AES Battery must be mounted onto a vertical supporting surface strong enough to support a minimum of 227 kg (500 lbs) per battery. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

Tools and Hardware
The following tools and hardware are not included with the bracket. Depending on your installation, additional tools and hardware may be required:

Socket wrench, appropriately sized
Level
Lag bolts
Additional materials and hardware for additional wall-mount support

Wall Mount Overview
Each battery requires a separate bracket. Attach the bracket to the wall before attaching the AES battery to the wall mount. Each bracket requires a minimum of four 1/4 inch diameter lag bolts or other fasteners. Fasteners must be strong enough to support 227 kg (500 lbs).

Mounting Surface| Minimum Required Fastener| Minimum Number of Fasteners Per Wall Mount
---|---|---
Wood Studs 16 inch on-center| 1/4 inch Diameter x 3 1/2 inch long lag bolt| 4
Wood studs not 16 inch on-center (3/4 inch min. plywood panel required)| 1/4 inch diameter x 1 inch long wood screw| 6
Steel studs at 16 inch on-center (min. 18 gauge)| 1/4 inch diameter self- drilling screw| 4

NOTE
If the wall does not have 16 inch on-center studs, adequate support for the bracket will have to be provided. For example, a sheet of plywood can be attached to the wall, and the bracket can then be attached to the plywood.

Installing the Bracket

Locate the wall studs.
If necessary install a 3/4 inch (minimum) plywood panel or appropriate additional support panel to the wall studs. Use hardware sized to support a minimum of 227 kg (500 lbs) when installing additional support panels to the wall. The additional support must span across at least three wall studs.
Using a level, secure the first mounting bracket to the wall. Ensure the mounting plate is centered on the wall studs, as shown.
Install additional wall mounts as required. The wall mounts are designed to interlock with each other when installed adjacent to each other.

Mounting the Battery to the Bracket

Align the flange of the AES Battery with the bottom edge of the bracket, as shown.
Lower the AES Battery flange onto the bracket.
Secure the top of the AES Battery to the two PEM studs with M8 nuts (included). Torque nuts to 1.4 – 1.5 N-m (12.4 – 13.3 in-lbs).
