SAFETY AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

Read this entire document before installing or operating the SolarEdge Energy Bank battery (referred to as the “Battery”). Failure to do so or to follow any of the instructions or warnings in this document can result in electrical shock, serious injury, or death, or may damage the Battery and other property.
Do not discard this document! After installation, keep it adjacent to the Battery for future reference!

Storage

• Storing the Battery in temperatures outside the specified range might cause damage to the Battery.
• When storing the battery for more than 3 months, make sure to keep it in a cool and dry place with ambient temperatures of -10°C/14°F to +30°C/86°F.
• When storing the battery for less than 3 months, make sure to keep it in a cool and dry place with ambient temperatures of -30°C/-22°F to +60°C/140°F.

Transportation

• To protect the Battery and its components from damage when transporting, handle with care. Do not push, pull, drag, or step on the Battery. Do not subject the Battery to any strong impact.
• Make sure to transport the Battery in its original package and in the correct orientation, as depicted on the package.
• Do not open the Battery packaging before arriving at the installation site.
• Do not transport the Battery, if it has been dropped, crushed, or has signs of physical damage.

Installation

• Install the battery according to national and local codes and standards and in locations compliant with local building codes and standards.

• The Battery installation must be carried out only by qualified electricians who have been trained in handling low voltage electricity works.

• The Battery is heavy. Adhere to local regulations for material handling and heavy lifting, when installing heavy equipment.

• Do not install the Battery inhabitable spaces, including sleeping rooms.

• Make sure the mounting surface can sustain the total weight of the Battery and mounting bracket.
