WARNING – DANGER
AquaMaster4 is available with choice of power
options including lithium thionyl chloride battery
power. This warning covers the health and safety
issues regarding the product with such batteries. The
following warnings must be observed:
• Only batteries approved by ABB that comply with
the safety requirements of IEC60086-4 (see list
under
on page 26 ), or contained
in the latest documentation from ABB may be
fitted. Fitting of other types is not recommended
by ABB.
• Do not use spiral wound lithium thionyl chloride
batteries. These pose a very high fire and explosion
hazard leading to a high risk for the users.
NEVER FIT THIS TYPE.
• Fitting of battery technologies other than lithium
thionyl chloride is NOT permitted.
• Some forms of D batteries do not conform the ‘D’
battery standard and may result in intermittent
connection and incorrect product operation.
• Incorrect use or operation of batteries may result in
potentially serious hazards to personnel.
• DO NOT expose batteries to fire or temperatures
above 85 °C (185 °F) and DO NOT crush or puncture
– they may leak, explode or rupture violently.
• DO NOT ship or transport the AquaMaster4
with lithium batteries fitted unless the following
instruction is complied with:
Transporting lithium batteries or product
containing lithium batteries:
• These are classified in ‘category UN3091 – Class 9’
of the UN list of hazardous materials. The transport
of such battery packs must conform to the
prevailing rules that are specific to the means of
transport used, both in terms of packing,
identification and accompanying documents. The
carrier must always be informed of the contents. A
warning label ‘Hazardous Label for Class 9 –
Miscellaneous Hazardous Goods’ must be attached
to the packing and remain visible on the outside of
the package.
• DO NOT dispose of depleted or partially depleted
batteries. They MUST be recycled in accordance
with local regulations (for example, sent to a
specialist recycling centre that handles such
batteries). The batteries must be packed, labeled
and transported in accordance with the regulations.
Ensure the battery cannot be short circuited.
• Recycling in Europe must be in accordance with
91/157/EEC and 93/86/EEC Directives.
• Damaged, leaking or overheated batteries require
urgent specialist handling and treatment.
Immediately evacuate all personnel from the area
and seek professional assistance.
