Safety Guidelines
Prohibitions
1. Non-professionals are prohibited to install or commission the battery cabinet alone.
2. As hazardous voltages are present within the battery cabinet, only an Emerson technician or an
Emerson-authorized technician is permitted to open it. Failure to observe this could result in electric shock risk
and invalidation of any implied warranty.
3. Never dispose of the batteries in a fire, as it may explode and jeopardize personnel safety when exposed to
flame.
Matters needing attention
1. The battery cabinet contains batteries; therefore, its output terminals may carry live voltages even when it is
not connected to DC power supply.
2. Cut off its input and output before moving or re-wiring the battery cabinet. Failure to observe this could result
in electric shock risk.
3. To ensure human safety and normal operation, the battery cabinet must be solidly and adequately grounded
before use.
4. The operating environment affects the battery cabinet lifetime and reliability. It is advisable not to use the
battery cabinet for long in the following environments:
� places where the temperature and relative humidity are outside the specifications (temperature: -10°C ~
55°C, relative humidity: ≤ 93%)
� places subject to vibrations or shocks
5. Verify that the cabling and battery polarities are correct before switching on the battery cabinet.
6. The battery cabinet installation must be firm and solid. Before installation, remove metallic finger rings and
bracelets, and use insulated installation tools to avoid shortcircuit.
7. In case of fire, use dry chemical fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Using foam fire extinguisher may cause
