Safety notes
It is assumed that qualified personnel only shall be deployed for the operation and
maintenance of the components available. Qualified personnel are individuals who, on the
basis of their education, experience and training, and their knowledge of the relevant
standards, regulations, accident prevention guidelines and operating conditions, are
authorised by those responsible for the safety of the components/system to perform the
respective necessary activities, and thereby identify and prevent any potential hazards.
Among other things, knowledge of first aid measures and the local emergency services is
required.
Failing to observe the operating instructions, not using original replacement
parts when carrying out repairs, performing unauthorised actions, or introducing
additives to the electrolyte, shall invalidate the warranty.
The following precautionary measures relate to the handling of Ni-Cd batteries and must
always be observed with respect to all the work instructions given in these operating
instructions.
Observe and follow the assembly and installation instructions and make them
visibly available at the installation site.
Only trained personnel may perform work on batteries. The instructions for use
must always be accessible to the persons in charge of handling the
rechargeable batteries.
When working on batteries, wear safety goggles and protective clothing. The
accident prevention regulations must be observed and followed.
Smoking is prohibited! No open flames, embers or sparks are allowed in the
vicinity of the battery as they pose an explosion and fire hazard.
Explosion and fire hazard; avoid short circuits.
Caution! As all metal parts contained within the battery cell are constantly
energised, do not place any foreign objects or tools on the battery. Adequate
ventilation must be provided in the battery room so that the explosive gases
generated during charging are removed (DIN EN 50272-2).
Keep an eye rinsing bottle ready at hand. Rinse eyes or skin sprayed with alkali
with plenty of clean water. Consult a doctor immediately. Wash clothing
contaminated with alkali with water.
Electrolyte is highly corrosive. During normal operation it is not possible to come
into contact with the electrolyte. Electrolyte can get released only if the cell
housing gets damaged.
