IRIS battery charging metrics notification

Machines equipped with capability to report battery charging data via IRIS are supplied with a charger and set of batteries from the factory. When a battery reaches its end of life and must be replaced, Tennant highly recommends that the same battery type be used to continue to maximize the machines performance. In the event a battery with a different amp hour (AH), type (Flooded, AGM, Gel, TPPL), or manufacturer is selected for replacement please contact Tennant technical service department for assistance in determining the feasibility of the replacement batteries and if so, selecting the correct charging profile. Availability of IRIS battery metric reporting is not guaranteed with third party supplied batteries.โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ โ€โ€โ โ€โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ โ€Œโ€Œโ โ€โ€โ€Œโ€โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€‹โ€โ โ โ โ€Œโ€‹โ€โ€‹โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€Œโ โ€Œโ€Œโ€โ€โ€‹โ€โ โ โ€โ€Œโ€โ€Œ

How the machine works

In shortSolution flows to the floor, the brushes or pads scrub, and the squeegee vacuums the dirty solution into the recovery tank. Pick the brush or pad by the soil and floor, and ask a Tennant representative if unsure.โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ โ€โ€โ โ€โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ โ€Œโ€Œโ โ€โ€โ€Œโ€โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€‹โ€โ โ โ โ€Œโ€‹โ€โ€‹โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€Œโ โ€Œโ€Œโ€โ€โ€‹โ€โ โ โ€โ€Œโ€โ€Œ

Conventional scrubbing:
When using the conventional scrubbing mode, water and detergent mixture from the solution tank flows to the floor and the rotating brush(es)/pad(s) scrub the floor clean. As the machine moves forward, the squeegee with vacuum suction picks up the dirty solution from the floor into the recovery tank.

ec-H2O NanoClean Technology (option):
When using the ec-H2O NanoClean technology, normal water passes through a module where it is electrically converted into a cleaning solution. The electrically converted water attacks the dirt, allowing the machine to easily scrub away the suspended soil. The converted water then returns to normal water in the recovery tank.

Brush and pad information

For best cleaning results use the appropriate brush or pad for your cleaning application. Listed below are brushes and pads and the applications for which each is best suited.

NOTE: The amount and type of soilage play an important role in determining the type of brush or pad to use. Contact a Tennant representative for specific recommendations.

Soft nylon bristle scrub brush (White) - Recommended for cleaning coated floors without removing finish. Cleans without scuffing.

Polypropylene bristle scrub brush (Black) - This general purpose polypropylene bristle scrub brush is used for scrubbing lightly compacted soilage. This brush works well for maintaining concrete, wood and grouted tile floors.

Super abrasive bristle scrub brush (Gray) - Nylon fiber impregnated with abrasive grit to remove stains and soilage. Strong action on any surface. Performs well on buildup, grease, or tire marks.

Tufted pad driver - Standard pad driver has short bristles, or โ€œtufts,โ€ on the back to hold the pad in place.

Polishing pad (White) - Used to maintain highly polished or burnished floors.

Buffing pad (Red) - Used for light duty scrubbing without removing floor finish.

Scrubbing pad (Blue) - Used for medium to heavy-duty scrubbing. Removes dirt, spills, and scuffs and leaves surface clean ready for re-coating.

Stripping pad (Brown) - Used for stripping of floor finish to prepare the floor for re-coating.

Heavy duty stripping pad (Black) - Used for aggressive stripping of heavy finishes/sealers, or very heavy duty scrubbing.

Surface preparation pad (Maroon) - Used for very aggressive chemical free removal of floor finish to prepare the floor for re-coating.

Turf scrubbing pad (Green) - Used to scrub uneven floor surfaces with crevices, cracks and deep grout lines.

Melamine scrubbing pad (Orbital scrub head model) - Made of an open-cell polymeric foam that removes black marks from floors and restores tile.

OPERATION

Battery discharge indicator

The battery discharge indicator (BDI) displays the charge level of the batteries while the machine is operating. When the batteries are fully charged, all five indicators are lit (Figure 47). When the discharge level reaches the red light, stop scrubbing and recharge the batteries. When the red light begins to flash, the scrub function will be disabled to protect the batteries from total discharge. The machine will still propel when the red light is flashing. This will allow user to transport the machine to the charging station.โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ โ€โ€โ โ€โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ โ€Œโ€Œโ โ€โ€โ€Œโ€โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€โ โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€‹โ€โ โ โ€Œโ โ โ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ โ€โ โ€‹โ โ€โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€โ โ€โ€Œ

NOTE: Lithium-ion Battery Model - Once the scrub function is disabled (flashing red light), the propel run time is limited to 15 minutes before machine power completely shuts down. Do not store the machine for a long period at this discharged level, the battery may further discharge to a level that is unrecoverable.

Double scrubbing

Double scrubbing is the process of making two or more passes over a heavily soiled area. The first pass is made with the squeegee raised off the floor (Figure 81). This allows the solution to penetrate the soiled area for an extended period (3-5 minutes). The second pass is made with the squeegee lowered.

Double scrubbing can be performed using the ec-H2O SCRUBBING SYSTEM (option) or CONVENTIONAL SCRUBBING method.

FOR SAFETY: When operating machine, wear closed-toe, non-slip shoes and go slowly on inclines and slippery surfaces.
FOR SAFETY: When operating machine, follow site safety guidelines concerning wet floors.

The lifetime of the batteries depends on their proper maintenance. To get the most life from the batteries:

Flooded (wet) and maintenance-free sealed lead-acid batteries

โ€ข Do not charge the batteries more than once a day and only after running the machine for a minimum of 15 minutes. TPPL batteries can be opportunity charged during the day to extend run time.
โ€ข Do not leave the batteries partially discharged for long period of time.
โ€ข Only charge the batteries in a well-ventilated area to prevent gas build up.
โ€ข Allow the charger to complete charging the batteries before re-using the machine.
โ€ข Maintain the proper electrolyte levels of flooded (Wet lead-acid) batteries by checking battery cell levels weekly.

Your machine is equipped with either flooded (Wet) lead-acid or maintenance-free (Sealed AGM/TPPL) batteries supplied by Tennant.

FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, battery installation must be done by trained personnel.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, keep all metal objects off batteries. Avoid contact with battery acid.

Maintenance-free (Sealed AGM/TPPL) batteries do not require watering. Cleaning and other routine maintenance is still required.

The flooded (wet) lead-acid batteries require routine watering as described below. Check the battery electrolyte level weekly.

NOTE: If machine is equipped with the automatic or manual battery watering system, proceed to the BATTERY WATERING SYSTEM instructions (page 56).

Corrected an obvious misprint: "BATTERY WATERING SYSYEM" printed with a typo (now "SYSTEM", as in the Battery watering system headings on pages 56 and 57).

The electrolyte level should be slightly above the battery plates as shown before charging (Figure 118). Add distilled water if low. DO NOT OVERFILL. The electrolyte will expand and may overflow when charging. After charging, distilled water can be added up to about 0.12 in (3 mm) below the sight tubes.

NOTE: Make sure the battery caps are in place while charging. There may be a sulfur smell after charging batteries. This is normal.

โ€ข It is recommended to only recharge battery pack when the discharge level is fully depleted (i.e. when discharge indicator reaches red light). If the red light begins to flash, the scrub function will automatically be disabled. This allows the user to use the remaining power to propel the machine back to charging station. Do not store the machine for a long period at this depleted level, the battery pack may further discharge to a level that is unrecoverable.
โ€ข When the machine shuts down due to a depleted battery pack, do not repeatedly cycle the key on and off. This may cause permanent battery pack damage. Recharge battery pack immediately to avoid damage.
โ€ข Allow charge cycle to completely charge battery pack.
โ€ข Avoid frequent complete charge cycles if battery pack was not fully depleted.
โ€ข Opportunity charging (i.e. partial charge cycle of a half hour or more) is only recommended if discharge level is below 80% (i.e. when discharge indicator is at or beyond second green light).
โ€ข Do not operate machine in temperatures above 110ยฐF / 43ยฐC or below -4ยฐF / -20ยฐC. Machine may shutdown if exceed these temperatures.
โ€ข When removing or replacing the lithium-ion battery pack, a specific lifting kit is recommended. It's important to use non-conductive lifting straps positioned at all four lift points with straps angled at 45ยฐ or greater when hoisting battery pack.
โ€ข Contact Tennant Service for lithium-ion battery service and replacement.

SUPERVISOR CONTROLS

Supervisor controls

In shortSupervisor controls let a supervisor set the machine's scrubbing settings and lock them so operators cannot change or save them. This chapter covers the T600e (page 73), the T600 Pro-Membrane panel (page 74) and the T600 Pro-Panel with login codes (pages 75 to 80).โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ โ€โ€โ โ€โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ โ€Œโ€Œโ โ€โ€โ€Œโ€โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€‹โ€โ€Œโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€‹โ€โ โ โ€โ€Œโ€Œโ€โ€โ€โ โ€‹โ€โ€‹โ€โ€Œโ€Œโ โ€‹โ€โ€‹โ โ€‹โ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ โ 
ATTENTION: The following instructions are intended for supervisor use only. Remove pages from manual if necessary.

The supervisor controls feature allows a supervisor to program the machine's scrubbing settings for operator use. The lockout functionality will prevent the operator from changing or saving scrub settings.โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ โ€โ€โ โ€โ€Œโ€Œโ€‹โ โ€Œโ€Œโ โ€โ€โ€Œโ€โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€‹โ€โ€Œโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€Œโ€‹โ€โ โ โ€โ€Œโ€Œโ€โ€โ€โ โ€‹โ€โ€‹โ€โ€Œโ€Œโ โ€‹โ€โ€‹โ โ€‹โ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ โ 

The supervisor controls feature will lower machine variability for consistent, repeatable cleaning results, provide machine quality assurance regardless of user experience, and reduce user training requirements.
