Requirements on the Installation Site of the Battery Cabinet

WARNING

Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires. This can result in death or serious injury.

Do not mount the product in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
Do not mount the product in potentially explosive atmospheres.

The installation site must be suitable for the weight, dimensions and minimum clearances of the product.
It must be possible to reach the installation site with suitable means of transport.
The surface at the installation site must be sufficiently dry, horizontal and flat.
Protect the product from direct sunlight, snow, and water as much as possible.
There must be no heat sources in the immediate vicinity of the installation site.
All ambient conditions must be met.
The installation site must be less than 3000 m above mean sea level. If you would like to use the battery at altitudes above 3000 m, contact Service.
On flood plains, the installation site must be elevated and always protected from contact with water.
The installation site must meet the requirements of the local fire protection regulations.
The room height or the height of a roof must be greater than the tilt dimension of the battery cabinet.

A suitable foundation must be prepared.
Do not place the battery cabinet in ground depressions to prevent ingress of water.
In regions subject to heavy rainfall, the installation site must always be protected from contact with water.
The condensation drain must be designed such that neither icing nor water accumulation can occur on the battery cabinet.
If the inverter is mounted on the battery cabinet, the requirements on the inverter must also be taken into account for the installation site of the battery cabinet. Among other requirements, the inverter may not be exposed to direct irradiation.

A homogeneous temperature distribution within the battery room must be guaranteed. The optimum temperature in the battery room is 22 to 25°C.
The installation site must be in a fire-protected room in accordance with IEC 62619. The fire-protected room must be equipped with an independent fire alarm unit in accordance with local regulations and industry standards and be free of fire loads. The room must be separated with at least class T60 fire doors and class F60 fire protection walls.
Fire protection measures for battery operation must be implemented in coordination with the responsible construction supervision authority on-site, in accordance with the locally applicable standards, guidelines and laws. Specifications can be found in the national and regional building codes.
