2.1
General safety instructions
DANGER
Important safety instructions. Keep these instructions.
These safety guidelines contain essential information that you must obey during the installation of
the xStorage® Compact Energy Storage System (ESS). Carefully read and understand these safety
instructions before you operate the ESS unit and the battery packs/racks.
The ESS is designed for indoor applications, and contains safety shields behind the door and front
panels. However, the ESS is a sophisticated power system and should be handled with appropriate
care. Install xStorage Compact ESS only in a dry, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminant.
Installation can be done only by Eaton customer service engineer or Eaton’s certified installer who must
fully understand and apply provided safety instructions to avoid electric hazard shock, potential death
and severe product damage. Certified installer must be an electrician who has national authorization
to make electrical installations in that particular country. Commissioning can be done only by Eaton
customer service engineer or Eaton’s certified partner who has completed xStorage Compact ESS
service training.
You can install the xStorage battery packs only within the Eaton xStorage battery rack and connect them
with the Eaton xStorage energy storage systems. Install the rack only on a non-flammable floor.

Warnings and cautions related to logistics
WARNING
Do not lift any of the packed or unpacked units without help or an adequate
machine lifter. There is a risk of injury.
If a package falls to the floor, it causes irreversible damage to the product. A
package falling on the handler of the unit could lead to death.
When you load, lift, store and deliver products, avoid uncontrolled product
movements. These could harm both the product and the handler of the units.
Pack the products carefully to prevent any product damage during the transport.
Transport the battery pack in its original packaging, in an upright position.
Compliant, non-flammable material must be used to protect the battery pack from
impact damage.
When transporting battery packs, do not pack more than 2 pallets with products
on top of each other. A single pallet contains 3 rows of products, that is, 3 packed
on top of each other, distributed in 2 side-to-side columns. If the stocked number
of packages exceeds the defined number, there is a higher risk of damaging the
products.
