SelectCell Manual 2. Safety WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION Failure to comply with safety messages may cause serious injury, death or damage to property DANGER! Always use the SelectCell Ultimate 280 module with a PCC protection and control system. Never connect the module without the PCC. To prevent high inrush currents, a bus pre-charge is required.
Never drop or knock the SelectCell Ultimate 280 modules. DANGER! If chargers/converters are used, use only those authorised by Selectronic. Misuse of the battery module during charging or discharging may cause the equipment to age prematurely leading to fire and/or explosion. Both units have complex communications and these need to be carried out by authorised specialists.
SelectCell Manual 2.6 Lockout-tagout of machines and installations • If it is not possible or takes too long to cut the current, try to disengage them by means of an insulating element (wooden (L.O.T.O.) strip or board, rope, wooden chair ...).

In the case of the PCC, there is a circuit breaker to switch off consumption definitively. To switch the equipment back on, it is necessary to use the switch again. Contact Selectronic for information on how to do this safely, because when the system restarts there should be an energy source available to charge the batteries (grid, generator, renewable...)
The charge in a cell is partially related to the voltage in that Please contact Selectronic’s technical support department cell. SelectCell constantly controls the voltage in each of its so that it can analyse the situation and provide additional cells.
