Safety when Connecting the DC Cables
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock due to touching live parts of the battery modules
A high voltage is present at the DC terminals of each battery module. When the DC cables are installed within the battery cabinet, the DC voltages of the individual battery modules add up. Touching the DC terminals or connected DC cables results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.
- Do not touch any live components.
- Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
- Observe all warning messages on the product and in the documentation.
- Observe the local health and safety regulations.
NOTICE
Damage to the battery due to short circuit
Incorrect connection of the DC lines can trigger a short circuit. High currents due to short circuit lead to damage to the battery modules or battery management system.
- Take the mechanical connector coding of the supplied DC cables into account. Do not use force when connecting the DC cables.
- Always connect red DC cables to the red DC terminals.
- Always connect black DC cables to the black DC terminals.
- Always connect the two DC lines between the battery management system and battery modules first.
- Always replace damaged battery modules without delay.
Securing the DC Connections with Locking Levers
The DC connection sockets on the battery management system and on the battery modules are equipped with locking levers.
- The locking levers on the DC connection sockets must always engage audibly with the connectors of the DC cables.
