2 SAFETY
DANGER! Lethal electric shock from damaged components or short circuits
Bridging the battery poles causes a short circuit that results in a flow of electrical current. A short cir-
cuit of this type should be avoided under all circumstances. For this reason, follow these instructions:
•
Use insulated tools and insulated gloves.
•
Do not place any tools or metal components on the battery modules or the APU HV1000-S.
•
Always remove watches, rings and other metal objects when working with the batteries.
•
Do not install or operate the battery storage system in explosive areas or areas with high humidity.
•
When working on the battery storage system, switch off all voltage supplies first to the charge con-
troller, then to the battery, and ensure that they cannot be switched on again.
DANGER! Chemical burns and poisoning due to electrolyte or poisonous gases
During normal operation, no electrolyte can escape from the battery and no poisonous gases can
form. Despite careful design, damage to the battery in the event of a fault can result in escaping elec-
trolyte or small concentrations and quantities of toxic gases, organic solvent gases and hydrofluoric
acid. For this reason, please follow these instructions:
•
Do not subject the battery modules to violent impact.
•
Do not open, disassemble or mechanically alter the battery modules.
If there is contact with the electrolyte, rinse the affected area immediately with water and promptly
seek medical attention.
