1 | Information about this document 1 Information about this document This document describes the installation of the sonnenBatterie 10. Read this document in its entirety. Keep this document in the vicinity of the sonnenBatterie. 1.1 Target group of this document This document is intended for licensed electricians.
2 Safety 2.1 Proper use The sonnenBatterie 10 is a battery storage system which can be used to store electrical en- ergy. Improper use poses a risk of death or injury to the user or third parties as well as dam- age to the product and other items of value.
The sonnenProtect 4000 is an backup power unit designed to supplement the sonnenBatterie 10. The sonnenProtect - in conjunction with the appropriate storage sys- tem of the sonnen GmbH - serves to supply power in the event of a power failure. Any other use is considered improper use.
• The electrician must be a person with a technical knowledge or sufficient experience to enable him/her to avoid dangers which electricity may create. • The electrician must has successfully completed the sonnen Australia installer training and have valid installer accreditation at the time of installation.
In the case of irritation of the skin, eyes or mucous membranes, consult a doctor. 3. Contact the sonnen service team (+61 13 7666). A fire may occur even with electrical devices that are designed with care. A nearby fire can also cause the storage system to ignite.
Safety | 2 • The battery modules do not contain metallic lithium. 2.6 Symbols on the product Warning: electrical voltage. Wait five minutes after switching off (capacitor de- energising time). 5 min Warning: flammable materials. Warning: hazards due to batteries. Warning: product is heavy.
Only transport battery modules in packaging that meets applicable regula- tions. Never transport damaged battery modules. Lithium-ion batteries are hazardous goods. Therefore the following points must be ob- served when transporting the battery modules: 12 / 100 Installation instructions sonnenBatterie 10...
Reporting transport damage Report transport damage immediately to the shipping company and to sonnen GmbH. Refuse to accept the delivery if the discovered defects are serious. Document the defect in a brief report and make the notation ‘Conditional acceptance’...
2. Let the power module sit until it can be ensured that there is no more condensation on the surfaces. Depending on ambient conditions, this may take up to 24 hours. 3. Only then can the power module be installed and commissioned. 14 / 100 Installation instructions sonnenBatterie 10...
