WARNING 
 
 
 
• 
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this battery cabinet in a 
temperature and humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive 
contaminants. Ambient temperature must not exceed 40 °C (104 °F). Do not operate 
near water or excessive humidity (95 % maximum). The system is not intended for 
outdoor use. 
 
•  Ensure all power sources are disconnected before performing installation or service. Power 
may come from multiple sources. 
 
•  Ensure 
system  grounding/PE continuity when undertaking installation 
or 
service.
 
 
• 
Batteries 
can 
present 
a risk of 
electrical shock 
or burn from  high 
short-circuit current.
 
 
• 
ELECTRIC ENERGY HAZARD. 
Do not 
attempt 
to  alter  any 
battery 
wiring or 
connectors.
 
Attempting 
to  alter  wiring can 
cause  injury.

qualified 
service personnel 
knowledgeable 
of 
batteries 
and  required 
precautions.

with the 
same number 
and  type of 
batteries 
as 
originally installed
.
 
 
• 
Disconnect 
the 
charging source 
prior to 
connecting

if the 
battery circuit 
is 
inadvertently grounded. 
If it is, 
remove 
the 
source 
of 
the 
ground. Contacting 
any part of a 
grounded battery 
can 
cause 
a risk 
of 
electric shock. An 
electric shock 
is 
less 
likely  if you 
disconnect 
the 
grounding 
connection before 
you 
work 
on  the 
batteries.
