enter and exit unhindered through the air ducts. Only operate the device in accordance
with the degree of protection shown on the rating plate. Refer to the „Setup regulations“
chapter in the device operating instructions
III
EN
Operation or storage of the device outside the stipulated environmental
conditions will be deemed to be not in accordance with the intended purpo-
se. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such
improper use.
For exact information on permitted environmental conditions, please refer to
the „Technical data“ chapter.
The ambient air must be clean and free from
- potential sources of ignition
- smoke
- open flames and fire
- flammable materials
- petrol and other combustible liquids or vapours
- dust
- acids
- corrosive gases or substances
Height above sea level: up to 2000 m (6500 ft)
Environmental
conditions
Safe use The operating instructions are primarily aimed at system integrators who
use the energy cells as components in a larger system. The contents are
therefore intended for qualified personnel. An electric shock can be fatal. Do
not perform any actions other than those described in the documentation.
All cables and leads must be complete, undamaged, insulated and adequa-
tely dimensioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately
dimensioned cables and leads must be immediately repaired by authorised
personnel.
Leaks in the hydrogen supply can lead to fire or explosions. The hydrogen
supply must be set up according to the relevant standards and connection
plan in the „Commissioning“ chapter. Maintenance and repair work on the
hydrogen supply must be carried out according to the relevant standards
and national regulations. The technical data shown on the rating plate
applies.
Maintenance and repair work on the device may only be carried out by
manufacturer-authorised personnel.
It is impossible to guarantee that bought-in parts are designed and manuf-
actured to suit their application, or that they satisfy safety requirements. Use
only original replacement parts (also applies to standard parts).
Do not carry out any modifications, alterations, etc. without the
manufacturer’s consent.
Components that are not in perfect condition must be replaced immediately.
IV
The fuel is supplied in the form of gaseous hydrogen. Hydrogen is a dange-
rous substance, which requires great care when handling. Further informati-
on on handling hydrogen can be found in the EU RL 91/155 EEC and 93/
112 EU safety data sheets.
Only use the device in well ventilated areas to prevent the accumulation of
explosive gas. Spaces are not deemed to be at risk of explosion if a concen-
tration of hydrogen of less than 4 % can be guaranteed by the use of natural
or forced ventilation.
Connect suitable hydrogen ventilation lines to the screw connections provi-
ded as described in the „Commissioning“ section and run them into the
open air to dissipate the excess hydrogen in the event of overpressure in
the hydrogen supply.
The unit should be set up so that it is independent of the surrounding air.
This means that the reaction and cooling air is supplied from the atmosphe-
re and the outgoing air from the reaction chamber and cooling system is
dissipated into the atmosphere.
If such a setup is not possible, operating the device to use ambient air is
only permitted:
- if protective grilles are fitted to the housing openings for the inlet and
outlet cooling air (factory setting)
- if there is sufficient ventilation
- in rooms with a volume of more than 130 m³
Danger from
gases, hazardous
materials and
suffocation
Keep all people, especially children, away from the unit and its accessories.
If, however, there are people in the vicinity,
- make them aware of all the dangers associated with the back-up battery
(risk of a build-up of explosive acids and gasses that are detrimental to
the health, possible risk of suffocation due to lack of oxygen in the air,
danger from output current, etc.)
- provide suitable protective equipment.
Before leaving the work area, ensure that no-one and nothing can come to
any harm in your absence.
Protecting
yourself and
others
CAUTION! Danger of suffocation when the unit is operated in
areas with inadequate ventilation (uses up the oxygen). Ensure
an adequate supply of fresh air.
Using the device in spaces with inadequate ventilation can cause suffocati-
on with no visible or otherwise detectable warning. The cause of this is the
oxygen consumption of the device, which can lead to a lack of oxygen in the
room if it is inadequately ventilated. Setting up the device to take in and
expel air into the atmosphere rather than the room helps prevent this. For
more information on this, see the chapter entitled „Commissioning“.

the protection devices are not fully functional, there is a risk of
- injury or death to the operator or a third party,
- damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the opera-
tor,
- inefficient operation of the device.
Any safety equipment that is not in full working order must be repaired by
the manufacturer before the unit is switched on.
Never bypass or disable protection devices.
Before switching on the device, ensure that no one is likely to be endangered.
The procedure for turning the device on and off safely is described in chap-
ter entitled „Operation“ in the device operating instructions.
- Make sure that the installation location has an adequate incoming and
outgoing air supply, or operate the unit in an environment that is not
dependent on the surrounding air
- Ensure that the cooling air can enter and exit the unit unhindered
- Always fix hydrogen cylinders in place securely and fit a protective cap
before transporting
- Refer to the „Care, maintenance and disposal“ chapter in the unit’s
operating instructions
- Regularly check the unit and its accessories for obvious damage and
proper functioning of safety equipment
- Never run the unit if there is any evidence of damage
- Only operate the unit with the degree of protection shown on the rating
plate

Batteries contain acid which is harmful to the eyes and skin. During char-
ging, gases and vapours are released that can harm health and are highly
explosive in certain circumstances.
Battery acid must not get into the eyes or onto the skin or clothes. Wear
protective goggles and suitable protective clothing. Rinse any acid splashes
with copious amounts of clean water, seek medical advice if necessary.
Danger from
batteries
On no account inhale any of the gases and vapours released
To prevent short circuits, do not place any tools or conductive metals on the
battery
General informa-
tion regarding
the handling of
batteries
- Follow the manufacturer’s advice
- Observe the manufacturer’s safety regulations during installation, opera-
tion, maintenance and repair
- Equip batteries with the correct fuse in order to avoid damage to people
or property
- Protect batteries from dirt and mechanical damage.
- Perform a regular visual inspection to ensure that the acid (electrolyte)
level in the battery is at the Max. mark.
- If any of the following occurs, do not start the device (or stop immediate-
ly if already in use) and have the battery checked by an authorised
workshop:
- uneven acid levels and/or high water consumption in individual cells
caused by a possible fault.
- heating of the battery over 55 °C (131 °F).
Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from moving parts, for example
fans.
The cover of the electrical connection compartment may only be removed
by trained personnel. All other covers and housing in general may only be
opened/removed by trained manufacturer’s personnel. Unauthorised ope-
ning or manipulation of the device will invalidate the guarantee and holds
the risk of serious damage to people and property.
The moist outgoing air from the reaction chamber can reach a temperature
of up to 70 °C (158 °F), which can scald.
