Important Safety Instructions - Alpha ESS SMILE-T10-HV Installation Manual

SAFETY
2.2.2 Response to Emergency Situations
The Battery pack comprises multiple batteries that are designed to prevent hazards
resulting from failures. However, AlphaESS cannot guarantee their absolute safety.
If a user happens to be exposed to internal materials of the battery cell due to damage
on the outer casing, the following actions are recommended.
Inhalation: Leave the contaminated area immediately and seek medical attention.
Eye contact: Rinse eyes with running water for 15 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Contact with skin: Wash the contacted area with soap thoroughly and seek
medical attention.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting and seek medical attention.
If a fire breaks out in the place where the battery pack is installed, perform the following
countermeasures:
Fire extinguishing media
Respirator is not required during normal operations.
Use FM-200 or CO2 extinguisher for battery fire.
Use an ABC fire extinguisher, if the fire is not from battery and not spread to it yet.
Firefighting instructions
1. If fire occurs when charging batteries, if it is safe to do so, disconnect the
battery pack circuit breaker to shut off the power to charge.
2. If the battery pack is not on fire yet, extinguish the fire before the battery pack
catches fire.
3. If the battery pack is on fire, do not try to extinguish but evacuate people
immediately.
WARNING
There may be a possible explosion when batteries are heated above 150°C.
When the battery pack is burning, it leaks poisonous gases. Do not approach.
Effective ways to deal with accidents
On land: Place damaged battery into a segregated place and call local fire
department or service engineer.
In water: Stay out of the water and don't touch anything if any part of the battery,
inverter, or wiring is submerged.
Do not use submerged battery again and contact the service engineer.

2.3 Important Safety Instructions

This section contains safety precautions that must be observed at all times when working
on or with the product.
To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term operation of
the product, read this section carefully and follow all safety precautions at all times.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or cables are ouched
High voltages are present in the conductive components or cables of the product. Touching
live parts and cables results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.
Do not touch non-insulated parts or cables.
Disconnect the product from voltage sources and make sure it cannot be reconnected
before working on the inverter or the Battery Pack.
After disconnection, wait 5 minutes until the capacitors have discharged.
Do not open the product.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or DC cables are touched
When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates high DC voltage which is present in the DC
conductors. Touching the live DC cables results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.
Disconnect the inverter from voltage sources and make sure it cannot be reconnected
before working on the device.
Do not touch non-insulated parts or cables.
Do not disconnect the DC connectors under load.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the inverter.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock from touching an ungrounded PV module or array frame
Touching ungrounded PV modules or array frames results in death or lethal injuries due to
electric shock.
Connect and ground the frame of the PV modules, the array frame and the electrically
conductive surfaces so that there is continuous conduction.
Observe the applicable local regulations.
