Safety and warnings

Qualified personnel only

Installation must only be carried out by qualified personnel: people who are trained and authorised to install electrical power systems and who are familiar with local electrical regulations, battery systems and safe working practices.

At least two people

At least two people are required for transport and installation. The system is heavy and may cause serious injury if handled incorrectly. There is a risk of the product tipping over. Use only suitable and approved handling, lifting and transport equipment.

Protective equipment

Always wear suitable protective equipment, including safety footwear, protective gloves and eye protection. Depending on site conditions and local regulations, additional protective equipment may be required.

Electrical hazard

The system contains high-voltage components. Before installation or maintenance, switch off and isolate all power sources and secure them against being switched on again. Check that the system is de-energised before touching any electrical component.

Fire hazard

Incorrect installation, unsuitable cable sizing, loose connections or blocked ventilation can cause overheating or fire. Keep the system away from flammable materials and maintain the required clearances.

Chemical hazard

Battery systems may contain hazardous substances. Do not open, damage, pierce or modify the battery modules. In the event of leaks, unusual odours, smoke or visible damage, stop the installation and contact qualified service personnel.

Incorrect installation may result in injury, fire, electric shock, chemical exposure or damage to property.
