DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or DC cables are
touched
The DC cables connected to a battery may be live. Touching live DC cables
results in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
- Disconnect the product and inverter from voltage sources and make sure they cannot be reconnected before working on the device.
- Do not touch non-insulated parts or cables.
- Do not disconnect the DC connectors under load.
- Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when touching live enclosure parts with
damaged grounding conductor
High voltages may be applied to the enclosure of the product if the grounding
conductor of the DC connection is damaged or has not been connected correctly.
Touching live enclosure parts results in death or lethal injuries due to
electric shock.
- Connect the grounding conductor for the DC connection as described in this document.
DANGER
Danger to life due to fire or explosion due to improper handling of the
battery modules
Improper handling can cause the lithium inside the battery to ignite. This can
cause a fire or explosion. Death or lethal injuries due to hot or flying
debris can result.
- Never use defective or damaged battery modules.
- Do not open, pierce, or drop battery modules.
- Do not install or operate the battery modules in potentially explosive atmospheres or areas of high humidity.
- Do not expose the battery modules to high temperatures.
- Never throw the battery modules on a fire.
- Store the battery modules dry and within the specified temperature range.
- If the battery goes on fire, use a CO2 fire extinguisher.
- If a fire breaks out in the vicinity of the battery, use an ABC fire extinguisher.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when touching live system components in
case of a ground fault
If a ground fault occurs, parts of the system may still be live. Touching live
parts and cables results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.
- Disconnect the product and inverter from voltage sources and make sure they cannot be reconnected before working on the device.
- Do not touch any parts of the substructure.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components are touched on
opening the product
High voltages are present in the live parts and cables inside the product
during operation.
Touching live parts and cables results in death or lethal injuries due to
electric shock.
- Do not open the product.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock from destruction of the measuring device
due to overvoltage
Overvoltage can damage a measuring device and result in voltage being present
in the enclosure of the measuring device. Touching the live enclosure of the
measuring device results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.
- Only use measuring devices with a DC input voltage range of 1500 V or higher.
WARNING
Danger to life due to burns caused by electric arcs through short-circuit
currents
Short-circuit currents in the battery can cause heat build-up and electric
arcs. Heat build-up and electric arcs may result in lethal injuries due to
burns.
- Disconnect the battery from all voltages sources prior to performing any work on the battery.
- Remove watches, rings and other metal objects prior to carrying out any work on the battery.
- Use insulated tools and wear insulated gloves for all work on the battery.
- Do not place tools or metal parts on the battery.
WARNING
Danger to life due to fire or explosion when batteries are fully
discharged
A fire may occur due to incorrect charging of fully discharged batteries. This
can result in death or serious injury.
- Put the battery into operation no longer than six months after delivery.
- If the battery is not put into operation within six months, contact Service to request reconditioning of the battery-storage system.
- Before commissioning the system, verify that the battery is not fully discharged.
- Do not commission the system if the battery is fully discharged.
- If the battery is fully discharged, contact Service.
