C&D Technologies RDB and RDC RACKS offer a variety of RDB 693 RACKS are qualified to IEEE 693-2005. C&D strives quality and value-added features.

2 Most notably, both rack to be the leader in supplying the best quality RACKS to support series take advantage of a common-frame design among its highly regarded FLOODED product line. The RDB and RDC. the Standard, EP1, and EP2 series for all but the RDC 3 Tier RACKS offer a range of quality features while maintaining a EP2 rack . This allows the RACKS to be field upgradeable by competitive price structure. simply installing additional bracing, while not having to remove any batteries! Additionally, the RACKS use a C-Channel frame cross-section that is more robust than competitive designs.

3 The RDB EP RACKS are qualified to meet UBC 1994 Section 1630 seismic loading conditions. The RDC EP RACKS are qualified to IBC 2009 Section 1613. Other features, such as built-in grounding provisions, are listed below. STANDARD rack FEATURES: rack seismic OPTIONS: 1-Tier, 2-Tier, 3-Tier, and 2-Step styles in Standard and RDB EP RACKS Qualified to Meet Maximum UBC 1994. seismic Requirements, Section 1630, for Essential and Custom Lengths Above Grade, Zones 1-4. RDB models can be upgraded Strut Rails with Flame Retardant Polyethylene Rail to UBC 1997. Contact C&D for information.

C&D offers a complete line of steel standby BATTERY RACKS for use in locations that are subject to seismic disturbances. Two Earthquake Protected BATTERY storage rack categories (EP1 and EP2) are offered to suit a variety of seismic loading conditions. These designs have been qualified to the 1994 Uniform Building Code (UBC), Chapter 16, Division III, Earthquake Design , Section 1630, Lateral Force on Elements of Structures, Nonstructural Components and Equipment Supported by Structures.

9 SELECTING THE RIGHT RDB rack EP CATEGORY: 1. Determine the UBC seismic zone corresponding with the exact geographic location of the installation site. See map below. 2. Determine if the installation is (a) essential or non-essential and (b) located above grade or located at or below grade. 3. Choose the C&D seismic RDB rack category from the chart below which is qualified for that location. seismic ZONE mAP OF THE UNITED STATES (REFERENCE 1994 UBC). C&D recommends that you consult your local or state building commission to verify the seismic zone factor and to check on local and special building requirements.
