STP-200/300/400 Series Instruction Manual
9 Internal Battery
Two batteries (PORTALAC Series Small-Sized Sealed Lead-Acid Batteries,
PE12V 7F1 : 12 V, 7 Ah, manufactured by Japan Storage Battery Co., Ltd.)
(hereinafter referred to as the internal battery) are inserted into the STP pump
for backup during a power failure. These are rechargeable. During a power
failure, power is supplied from the batteries, and levitation by a magnetic
bearing continues for 15 minutes while the pump is decelerating and the rotor is
landing.
Fully-charged batteries are capable of consecutively backing up the operation of
the STP pump twice.
9.1 Life of the Internal Battery
The life of the internal battery is affected by ambient temperatures.
Pay attention to ambient temperatures (The operating ambient temperatures
range from 0 to 40 °C).
Figure 9.1 shows the relationship between the ambient temperatures and the
battery life.
◇ Replace the battery approx. once a year to make sure it is always
ready to back up the operation of the STP pump.
For instructions on how to replace the battery, see Section 9.4, "How
to Replace the Internal Battery."
9.2 Allowable Shelf Life of the Internal Battery
When the internal battery is left uncharged, its capacity will be reduced by
self-discharge. The allowable shell life of the internal battery is affected by
ambient temperatures. Pay attention to its storage temperatures (The storage
temperatures range from - 20 to + 40 °C).
Figure 9.2 shows the relationship between storage temperatures and the
allowable shelf life of the internal battery.
◇ When the STP pump is left unused over the specified period, charge
the internal battery for 3 hours or more, or replace it with a new one
before starting the STP pump. For instructions on how to recharge
the internal battery, see Section 9.3, "How to Charge the Internal
Battery." For instructions on how to replace the internal battery,
See Section 9.4, "How to Replace the Internal Battery."
