Safety instructions

Follow the safety instructions for protection against injuries and prevention of damage to equipment or property.

Mounting

Never work on live equipment. Always switch off the power supply for the device before installation, troubleshooting or maintenance. Protect the device against unintentional switching on.
Avoid polarity reversal of the data and supply cables, as this may cause damage to the equipment.
Observe the relevant accident prevention regulations for your machine (e.g. the BGV A 3, electrical systems and equipment).
Note the temperature limit values for operation. If the battery pack is operated outside these temperature limits, it may leak electrolyte (acid), heat up or even explode.
The space where the battery pack is located must have adequate ventilation. Follow the regulations of VDE 0510 Part 2 / EN 50272-2 or corresponding national regulations for storage, installation and operation.
The battery pack can release flammable gases, which may cause an explosion if it is located in an enclosed, unventilated space.
Do not store the battery pack in an airtight container or bag. The battery pack may release flammable gases, which may explode if the battery pack is hermetically enclosed.

Should you come in contact with electrolyte (acid), immediately rinse the affected body part with water.

Extinguish the battery pack with dry powder, halon or CO₂.

Do not use water, which could result in electrolyte (acid) splashing out.
Disconnect the power supply.
During firefighting wear self-contained respiratory protective equipment and protective clothing.
Provide adequate ventilation after the battery pack has been extinguished.

The following product safety label is located on the right side of the battery pack.
