Operation & Maintenance Manuals
for full instructions.
2. Safety
A battery system is an active electrical
device that contains a specific quantity
of energy. The Safety Rules below
must be complied with to ensure
correct handling and operation.
■■
■
Saft products are designed with
safety considerations; however,
batteries can be dangerous if used
incorrectly.
■■
■
Failing to comply with the Safety
Rules described below may cause
the battery system to fail and may
cause serious injury.
■■
■
Improper operation of the product
may cause a cell to overheat or
vent.
Safety Rules:
■■
■
Read these instructions fully before
installing and operating the battery
system.
■■
■ ■
Batteries MUST be installed in a
restricted access area only. Only
authorized personnel Trained and
Certified according to the local rules
(for example per NFPA 70E in U.S.)
to handle High Voltage Hazard
should be allowed to enter the
restricted area and work on the
system.
■■
■
Batteries must be installed in a
location that can be easily ventilated
in case of misuse, such as
described below.
■■
■
Never short-circuit the battery
terminals.
■■
■
Do not reverse the polarity.
■■
■
Do not overcharge or over-discharge
the battery.
■■
■
Adhere to factory voltage range
specification given in this document.
■■
■
Do not open the battery module.
■■
■
Do not disassemble the unit.
■■
■
Do not use the battery without its
electronic management system.
■■
■
Do not subject to excessive
mechanical stress.
■■
■
Do not expose the unit to water or
condensation.
■■
■
Install the batteries in an area
compatible with pollution level 2
according to EN 60664-1 (typical of
office or laboratory environments).
■■
■
Do not place the batteries on or
near fires or other high-temperature
locations (> 70°C). Doing so may
cause the batteries to overheat or
vent. Using the batteries in this
manner may also result in the loss
of performance and reduce product
life expectancy.
■■
■
Immediately disconnect the batteries
if, during operation, they emit an
unusual smell, feel hot, change
shape, or appear abnormal in any
other way. Contact Saft immediately
if any of these problems are
observed.
■■
■
Connect to power systems/rectifiers
with maximum rated output of Vmax
only (refer to Table 1).
■■
■
Refer to the Battery Information
Sheet (BIS) for emergency response
procedures and personal protective
equipment in case of an abnormal
event.
■■
■
If smoke is emitted from the system,
stay clear of the smoke and
evacuate the area immediately.
■■
■
For normal handling and operation
according to this installation and
operation document, personal
protective equipment (PPE) is
required.
