• DIN EN ISO 20345 (“Personal safety gear – Safety boots”)
• DIN EN 50110/VDE 0105 (“Operation of electrical installations”)
•
DIN EN 50272/VDE 0510 (“Safety requirements for secondary batteries and battery in-
stallations”), particularly applicable for calculating the air ventilation required in battery rooms
(in DIN EN 50272-2).
• DIN VDE 1000-10 (“Requirements for persons working near electrical equipment”)
3.4 Obligations of the Operator
Please keep this installation and operating manual in such a manner that it is available immediately
to all persons who need to carry out work in connection with the batteries or their components.

powerpack
classic
and its components, always wear the following pro-
tective equipment in order to prevent injuries or at least to mitigate them:
• Safety goggles
• Insulated tools
• Rubber gloves
• Safety boots
• Eye wash (recommended)
In order to prevent electrostatic charge when working with batteries, fabrics, safety boots and
gloves must have a surface resistance < 10
8
Ohm and an insulation resistance > 10
5
Ohm (see
DIN EN 50272-2 for this purpose).
3.5.3 First-Aid Measures
WARNING!
As a consequence of damage to the housing of a block battery, some minor quantities of electro-
lyte or hydrogen gas may leak out in sealed lead-acid batteries.
Sulphuric acid may cause severe injuries.
First-aid measures
Take the following actions if you have come into contact with the acid:
Acid on the skin
• Dab at the acid with a cotton cloth or paper towel, but do not rub.
• Remove pieces of clothing that have got contaminated, and while doing so, avoid contact with
the affected parts of the body as far as possible.
• Rinse off the affected parts for a longer period of time under flowing water.
• After rinsing, wash thoroughly with soap.
Acid in the eyes
• Rinse off the eye for a few minutes gently and cautiously with an eye douche or wash the eye
in flowing water. Avoid excessive water pressure when doing so.
• Consult an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) immediately.
Acid on the body
Involve a doctor immediately or look for a hospital.
Before the doctor‘s arrival:
• Depending on the extent and location of the caustic burns, use magnesium oxide slurry for
rinsing or soaking the affected area.
• If available, also use water with dissolved bicarbonate (sodium carbonate).
Use water to wash off clothes contaminated with acid.
