WARNING!
Lack of oxygen can lead to unconsciousness and asphyxiation.
As a preventative measure, H-1000XP must be operated in a well-ventilated area
in order to compensate for the oxygen used within the fuel cells.
WARNING!
Always operate H-1000XP in a well-ventilated area.
1.8 Electrical Safety
WARNING!
Avoid contact with an exposed fuel cell stack. Electrical shock can
cause personal injury or death.
• Do not touch fuel cell plates or any electrical components at any time. A running
fuel cell stack is a potential electrical hazard that can cause burns or electrical
shock.
• Do not wear conductive metallic items when you are close to an exposed fuel
cell stack.
• Minimize static discharge at all times If possible, ground all equipment to your
common ground.
• Minimize conductivity. Avoid contact with surfaces that are in contact with water
or gases. Do not operate or store in wet or damp conditions.
• Never use damaged extension cords.
H-1000XP generates up to 48 VDC (open circuit voltage). This voltage decreases
as current is drawn from the module. This voltage is exposed at the output power
connections. These low voltages may constitute a shock hazard and can damage
electronic components if shorted. Therefore, do not touch individual fuel cells, cell
voltage monitoring equipment or electrical components.
WARNING!
Do not touch fuel cells, cell voltage monitoring equipment or
electrical components.
Electronic components can also be damaged as the result of static discharge. To
minimize this, ground all equipment in contact with H-1000XP. Never use
damaged extension cords. Minimize conductivity by avoiding surfaces in contact
with water; hands and clothes must be dry. Do not operate or store H-1000XP in
wet or damp conditions.
