Any system-operator, -integrator, end-user and technician who operate, service, maintain or install
the device must be aware of the potential dangers associated with its use, in order to implement
sufficient processes in case of an accident or emergency.
Always ensure that the system is installed and operated in compliance with local code,
regulations and standards. Do not install, operate or maintain the system without
explicit knowledge or help from experienced and licensed system integrators, the
manufacturer or external certifying bodies.
Hydrogen hazard
Hydrogen itself is not a hazardous substance
–
however, its properties can make it hazardous in
interaction with other substances and environments.
It is the User's responsibility to implement a safety system to manage the EL2.1's outputs
–

Incorporate the unit, especially the vent line, into the operational safety
concept.
Avoid heat in the vicinity of the system and the hydrogen source.
No smoking, no naked flames.

In the case of escaping gas, keep away and keep inflammable materials
away.
Prevent electrostatic charging of the device.

Mechanical Hazards
Generic mechanical hazards are often ignored and commonly cause injuries. To avoid this, we
recommend wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and using suitable tools at all
times when handling the device and packaging material.
Whilst the handling of the packaging material and preliminary installation does not require specialised
technicians, a general training with regards to lifting heavy loads and general safety briefings are
required to perform these tasks safely.
