Important Safety Notifications
There are various safety concerns that must be carefully observed before, during, and after the
installation, as well as during future operation and maintenance. The following are important
safety notifications for the installer and any end users of this product under normal operating
conditions.
Dangers of High Voltages and Large Current
AVERTISSEMENT: Circuits à tension élevée!
1. Do not disassemble the battery. Contact your distributor for any issues in need of
repair for proper handling instructions. Incorrect servicing or re-assembly may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire and voiding the warranty.
2. Never short-circuit DC inputs. Short-circuiting your battery may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire and can lead to severe injury or death and/or permanent damage to
the unit and/or any connected equipment.
3. Use caution when working with metal tools on or around batteries and
systems. Risk of electrical arcs and/or short circuiting of equipment can lead to
severe injury or death and equipment damage.
4. Beware of high battery current. Please ensure that the battery module breakers
and/or on/off switches are in the “open” or “off” position before installing or working on
the battery. Use a voltmeter to confirm there is no voltage present to avoid electric
shock.
5. Do not make any connections or disconnections to the system while the
batteries are operating. Damage to system components or risk of electrical shock
may occur if working with energized batteries.
6. Make sure the battery and rack are properly grounded.
7. An installer should make sure to be well protected by reasonable and professional
insulative equipment [e.g., personal protective equipment (PPE)].
8. Before installing, operating, or maintaining the system, it is important to inspect all
existing wiring to ensure it meets the appropriate specifications and conditions for
use.
9. Ensure that the battery and system component connections are secure and proper to
prevent damage or injuries caused by improper installation.
