HAZARD. The hazard warnings (set out below) are used to indicate risks or unsafe practices that CAN cause serious injury or death.
•
DO NOT
dismantle or disassemble the parts of the battery pack (REACT-BATT-AP1). The battery pack has safety functions and protection circuits which could
be compromised by improper use.
•
DO NOT
set light to or heat the battery pack. Possible damage or melting of the insulation with consequent loss of the safety conditions due to the release of
gas or burning of electrolyte material. The battery pack could produce heat, smoke, breakages or flames.
•
DO NOT
use or leave the battery pack near a naked flame, boiler or heated places (beyond the temperature range indicated in the technical data).
•
DO NOT
immerse or wet the battery pack with fresh or salt water. The battery pack could produce heat, smoke, breakages or flames.
•
DO NOT
break into, strike or stamp on the battery pack; this could deform, damage or short-circuit the battery pack. The battery pack could produce heat,
smoke, breakages or flames.
•
DO NOT
create damaging impacts or drop the battery pack. The battery pack could be damaged.
•
DO NOT
use the battery pack for other equipment. The battery pack REACT-BATT-AP1 must be used solely with the inverter REACT-UNO-XX
•
DO NOT
touch the battery pack directly if there is a leak of electrolyte material. Should the electrolyte material come into contact with the eyes, wash the eyes
with plenty of fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing them. Then consult a doctor. If no treatment is applied, there could be problems for the eyes.
•
DO NOT
touch the battery pack if it shows any breaks in the plastic cover where any parts under voltage are visible.
•
DO NOT
use the battery pack should a fault or any anomaly (such as in smell, heat, colour, smoke, shape or noise) be found. The battery pack could produce
heat, smoke, breakages or flames.
WARNING. The warnings (set out below) are used to indicate risks or dangerous actions which COULD cause serious personal harm or
damage to the product or property.
•
DO NOT
use the battery pack REACT-BATT-AP1 with other battery models if not expressly indicated by ABB.
•
DO NOT
use a battery pack that is leaking electrolyte material. The electrolyte material which has leaked from the battery could burn or catch fire and cause
smoke, breakages or flames.
•
DO NOT
use the battery pack if it shows anomalies. Should the battery pack have a bad smell, changes in colouring, deformation or other anomalous condi-
tions during use (including charging and storage), do not use it. If an anomalous battery pack is used, it may produce heat, smoke, breakages or flames.
CAUTION. The caution messages (set out below) are used to indicate risks or dangerous actions which could cause serious harm to people
or damage to property.
•
DO NOT
use or leave the battery pack exposed to direct sunlight (or in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun). The battery pack could produce heat, smoke,
breakages or flames. In addition, its performance might deteriorate and/or it might have a shorter lifespan.
• If the battery pack has signs of rust, a bad smell or any anomaly on first being used, do not use the equipment.
• If the skin or clothes come into contact with electrolyte material which has leaked from the battery pack, wash them in plenty of fresh water as soon as possi
-
ble, otherwise it might cause inflammation of the skin.
Final installation of the equipment must not hinder access to any externally located disconnection devices.
Please refer to the warranty terms and conditions to evaluate any possible warranty exclusions due to improper installation.

Transport and handling
Transport of the equipment, especially by road, must be carried out with by suitable ways and means for protecting the components (in particular, the electronic
components) from violent shocks, humidity, vibration, extreme temperatures, etc.
The REACT-BATT-AP1, as it falls within the category of dangerous goods (UN 3480 lithium-ion battery, class 9, group II), must comply with the rules of the
ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) as regards packaging, transport and marking.
For more information, consult the website of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport on page http://www.mit.gov.it/mit/site.php?o=vc&lm=2&id_cat=207).
Exemptions from the provisions:
• the “Ancillary rule” (1.1.3.1 c ADR)
• the “1,000 Units rule” (1.1.3.6 ADR)
-
End of life battery unit transportation
Besides complying with the general application of the ADR, Battery Units which are transported for disposal must comply with the following guidelines:
- Be packed in accordance with packing instruction P909 of 4.1.4.1
- Packages that need to be marked: “LITHIUM BATTERIES FOR DISPOSAL”, in addition to other labels and indications provided for in the ADR.
For further details, please refer to the ADR document: “European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road”, special
regulation 377.
Storage of REACT-BATT
The storage of REACT-BATT starts from the moment of delivery by ABB. In order to guarantee the full operation of the system, REACT-BATT must be put into
service within 1 year at most of the date of production.
In order to reduce risks during storage of the REACT-BATT it must be considered that:
• In the case of damage to the REACT-BATT there is a high risk of fire.
• Keep the REACT-BATT in a dry place.
• Relative humidity, not condensing: 5% … 95%
• Handle and treat packages carefully.
• Avoid unnecessary movements of the REACT-BATT.
• Ambient temperature allowed during storage: -5°C...+40°C
• Maximum height above sea level (a.s.l.): = 2 000 m
For the rules on storing the battery, refer to the regulations in force in the country concerned
- Handling of damaged batteries
Should damage or visible deformation of the cover be found, or should it be noted that the batteries have overheated during operation, immediately contact the
ABB technical assistance service.
Lifting
Risk of injury due to the weight of the equipment.
Where indicated and/or where there is a provision, eyebolts or handles, which can be used as anchorage points, are
inserted and/or can be inserted.
The ropes and means used for lifting must be suitable for bearing the weight of the equipment.
