Product Safety Information

Sécurité de la Batterie

•  Utiliser des outils isolés et être très prudent lorsque vous travaillez près des batteries, elles peuvent 

produire des courants extrêmement élevés si en court-circuit (par exemple, échapper un outil métallique 

à travers la borne de la batterie), ce qui pourrait provoquer un incendie ou une explosion.

•  Lisez et suivez les consignes de sécurité du fabricant de la batterie avant d’installer l’onduleur 

et des batteries. Toujours véri

fi

 er la polarité et la tension avant de brancher les batteries à 

l’onduleur. Une fois que les batteries sont connectées à l’onduleur, assurer la maintenance et 

les exigences de charge (c.-à-tension de charge et taux de charge) fournis par le fabricant de 

la batterie sont suivies pour prolonger la vie des batteries et pour éviter d’endommager les 

batteries pendant la charge.

•  Porter des lunettes de protection tels que des lunettes de sécurité, et évitez de toucher vos yeux et 

le visage lorsque l’on travaille avec des piles de garder tout 

fl

 uide / corrosion sur la batterie d’entrer 

en contact avec les yeux et la peau. Ayez suf

fi

 samment d’eau fraîche et de savon à proximité et se 

laver dans le cas d’acide contact avec la peau de la batterie, les vêtements ou les yeux. Dans le cas 

d’exposition pour les yeux, les inonder pendant au moins 15 minutes à l’eau courante et consulter 

immédiatement un médecin.Le bicarbonate de soude neutralise l’acide de plomb électrolyte de la 

batterie et le vinaigre neutralise renversé NiCad et NiFe batterie à électrolyte; en fonction de votre 

type de batterie, gardez sous la main près des batteries.

•  Enlevez tous les bijoux tels que bagues, montres, bracelets, etc, lors de l’installation ou la 

maintenance sur les batteries et l’onduleur. Une batterie peut produire un court-circuit assez 

de courant élevé pour souder les bijoux en métal, provoquant de graves brûlures.

•  Ne jamais travailler seul. Toujours avoir quelqu’un au sein de la gamme de votre voix ou 

suf

fi

 samment près pour vous venir en aide lorsque vous travaillez près des batteries.

•  Utiliser des techniques de levage appropriées lorsque vous travaillez avec des piles.
•  Ne jamais utiliser de piles usagées ou non testés. Véri

fi

 ez l’étiquette de chaque batterie à 

l’âge, le type et le code de date a

fi

 n d’assurer toutes les batteries sont identiques.

•  Piles sensibles aux changements temporaires, installer dans un environnement stable.
•  Les batteries peuvent produire des gaz explosifs, etc installer les piles dans un endroit bien 

ventilé. Pour les installations compartiment ou une enceinte, toujours évacuer les piles du 

plus haut point à l’extérieur. Concevoir le boîtier de piles pour éviter l’accumulation et la 

concentration de gaz d’hydrogène dans “poches” en haut du compartiment.

•  Fournir au moins un pouce de l’espace aérien entre les batteries pour fournir un refroidissement optimal.
•  Ne jamais fumer ou laisser une étincelle près des batteries.
•  Pour éviter une étincelle à la batterie et de réduire le risque d’explosion, toujours connecter 

les câbles aux batteries en premier. Ensuite, connectez les câbles à l’onduleur.

•  Ne jamais charger une batterie gelée.

•  La banque de la batterie doit être installé dans un endroit propre, sec, aéré et où ils sont 

protégés contre les températures élevées et basses. S’il est installé dans un véhicule / bateau, 

les batteries doivent être monté en position verticale (si vous utilisez des piles liquides) et 

solidement 

fi

 xés. L’emplacement doit être pleinement accessible et protégé contre l’exposition 

à la chaleur la fabrication de dispositifs, et loin de toute réservoirs de carburant.
