3. BATTERY SAFETY
3.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before any work begins, carefully read all safety instructions, and always observe
them when working on or with the battery. The installation must follow all applicable
national or local standards and regulations. Consult with the local AHJ to obtain the
proper permits and permissions before installation.
Incorrect installation may cause:
• Injury or death to the installer, operator or third party
• Damage to the battery or other attached equipment
3.2 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTIFICATIONS
Hazardous Voltage Circuits!
AVERTISSEMENT! Circuits à tension élevée!
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.
1. Do not disassemble the battery. Contact the distributor for any issues that need repair
for more information and proper handling instructions. Incorrect servicing or re-
assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire and void the warranty.
2. Never short-circuit DC inputs. Short-circuiting the 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.
