Nickel allergy
Many of our magnets contain nickel, even those without nickel coating. Some people have allergic
reactions when they come into contact with nickel. Nickel allergies can arise from constant contact with
nickel-coated objects.
Avoid permanent skin contact with magnets.
Do not handle magnets if you already have a nickel allergy.
INFO
Effect on people
According to current knowledge, magnetic fields of permanent magnets have no measurable positive or
negative effect on humans. A health hazard from the magnetic field of a permanent magnet is unlikely,
but cannot be completely excluded.
For your safety, avoid permanent contact with the magnets.
Chipping of the coating
Most neodymium magnets have a thin nickel-copper-nickel coating to protect against corrosion. This
coating can flake off or crack due to collisions or high pressure. This makes the magnets more sensitive
to environmental influences such as moisture and can oxidize.
Separate large magnets with a piece of cardboard.
Generally avoid collisions between magnets and repeated mechanical loads (e.g. impacts).
Oxidation, corrosion, rust
Untreated neodymium magnets oxidize very quickly and decay in the process. Most magnets have a thin
nickel-copper-nickel coating to protect against corrosion. This coating offers a certain protection against
corrosion, but is not resistant enough for permanent outdoor use.
Only use the magnets in dry indoor areas or protect the magnets from environmental influences.
Avoid damaging the coating.
Temperature resistance
Most neodymium magnets permanently lose part of their holding power at temperatures above 80 °C.
Do not use the magnets in places where they are exposed to high heat.
Mechanical work
Neodymium magnets are brittle, sensitive to heat and oxidize easily. Drilling or sawing a magnet with an
unsuitable tool can break the magnet. The resulting heat can demagnetize the magnet. Because of the
damaged coating, the magnet will oxidize and disintegrate.
Refrain from mechanical processing of magnets.
Safety instructions for mounting with Solar Frame
CAUTION
The supplied mounting material (nuts, washers, etc.) is used to correctly mount the Solar Frame
and gateway.
Only use the supplied mounting material
.
The supplied flange nuts have been specially selected for mounting the solar frame and must be
used ONLY ONCE. If the Solar Frame must be dismounted, always use new flange nuts.
Only use the flange nuts supplied.
Use them only once. No multiple use
.
