3. HAZARDS
The operator who operates, services, maintains, or installs this device must be aware of the potential
dangers associated with its use and set up, the required materials, as well as the inputs and outputs, to
implement sufficient countermeasures and processes to prevent accidents and act correctly in case of
emergencies.
Always ensure that the device is installed and operated in compliance with local code,
regulations, and standards. Do not install, operate, or maintain the device without
explicit knowledge or help from experienced and licensed system integrators, the
manufacturer, or external certifying bodies.
3.1 HYDROGEN HAZARD
It is the operator ’s responsibility to implement a safety system to manage the devices inputs and
outputs – more information about this is below.
Caution! Hydrogen is highly explosive and volatile gas!
Hydrogen can explode! Do not mix hydrogen with oxygen or air! Prevent hydrogen from
leaking! Even small leakages will create flammable and explosive environments!
Prevent electrostatic charging of the device. Hydrogen ignites very easily!
Do not inhale hydrogen!
Hydrogen can cause asphyxiation!
Hydrogen is very volatile. Still it can accumulate in areas and materials that are
unexpected. Do not handle hydrogen without a suitable ventilation and safety system!
Incorporate the device, especially the hydrogen and the vent lines, into the operational
safety concept and comply with local safety regulations.
Avoid heat in the vicinity of the device.
Do not smoke and do have naked flames in the vicinity of the device.
Do not have hydrogen, not even in low concentrations in the vicinity of the device.
The hydrogen which comes out of the device is under pressure! Comply with regulations
for the handling of compressed hydrogen.
In the case of escaping gas, stay away and keep inflammable materials away.
Ensure proper installation of the supply pipes.
Check the hydrogen lines and connectors regularly for leakages.
3.2 MECHANICAL HAZARDS
It is always necessary to wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and to use suitable
tools when handling the device and packaging material.
A general training with regards to lifting heavy loads and general safety briefings are required to
perform the tasks safely described in this manual.
