Safety instructions
The Lithium Power Supply (LPS) is classified as Class 9 dangerous goods according to UN3480, a
power source with high energy density and hazardous materials in a sealed metal cabinet.
Installation must strictly follow national safety regulations in accordance with the requirements for
enclosure, installation, creepage, clearance, marking and segregation requirements for the end-
use application. We recommend that installation is performed by authorised professionals. Switch
off the system and check for hazardous voltages before changing any connection!
The Lithium Power Supply must only be serviced by trained personnel.
The lowest protection rating for specific parts of the LPS is IP21. Ensure that installation of the
Lithium Power Supply complies with IP21 requirements.
This is a Class I product. Connect only 230 V AC from a source connected to protective electrical
earth, including all extension cords between source and the device.
In particular, observe these rules:
• When connected to 230V input, voltage is present at 230V output, even when the device
is switched off.
• Do not open the Lithium Power Supply.
• Do not discharge a new Lithium Power Supply until it has been fully charged.
• Charge only within the specified limits.
• Make sure the LPS is switched off when moving and installing.
• Do not mount the Lithium Power Supply upside down or on the side.
• Check if the Lithium Power Supply has been damaged during transport.
• Do not series- or parallel-connect lithium power supplies.
• Do not leave exposed to weather.
• Do not cover or block the fan or air intake to ensure that the battery does not overheat.
• Do not allow children or animals to come into contact with the device or connected
power supplies.
Danger in case of fire:
• Danger of explosion with dust particles.
• Decomposition due to fire or heat development emits toxic and corrosive gases.
• Combustion gases which strongly irritate the eyes and respiratory organs.
General precautions the driver should observe if these hazards occur:
• Switch off the motor.
• Place a warning sign on the road to warn others.
• Inform others of the dangers and advise them to stay away from the wind direction.
• Contact the police and fire brigade immediately and inform them
that lithium batteries (UN3480) are on board.
Instruction for fire extinguishing:
• Extinguish fire with water. If possible submerge the Lithium Power Supply completely in water.
• Extinguishing with water produces fluoride, phosphate, fluoride-oxide and carbon monoxide.
• Alternatively, extinguish with a CO2 fire extinguisher.
