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 a fire starts from the battery, contact the fire department. Extinguishing is a high risk due to
toxic gases, risk of explosion and rapid spread.
• If a fire breaks out in the vicinity of the battery, use an ABC fire extinguisher.
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 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.
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.
