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. The direct voltages of the individual battery modules in the battery cabinet 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 lines into account. Do not use force when connecting the DC lines.
- Always connect red DC lines to the red DC terminals.
- Always connect black DC lines to the black DC terminals.
- Do not operate damaged battery cabinets. Contact SMA Service immediately.
Securing the DC connections via locking mechanism
The DC cables for connection to the battery cabinet are fitted with connectors with a locking mechanism.
- The connectors must always audibly lock into the sockets of the DC connections.
