INSTALLATION

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD

The system must be installed in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Before installing, confirm the battery is off, all power sources, including AC and DC, are disconnected, and all MSDs are removed.
Use insulated tools to avoid short circuits, and confirm that all power supply disconnect devices are securely locked out.
Follow lockout/tagout procedures, which are essential to safely handling the system during installation.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or serious injury.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

This system contains high-voltage components that can cause serious injury or death.
Always assume terminals and connections are live until confirmed otherwise.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as insulated gloves, goggles, and flame-retardant arc-flash-rated clothing.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or serious injury.

DISASSEMBLY HAZARD

Do not disassemble or attempt to modify the battery packs or other components.
Only qualified personnel with the appropriate training should handle or service the battery cabinet.
Disassembling the battery cabinet without authorization may void warranties and pose safety risks.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or equipment damage.

The AES Cabinet must be installed in compliance with all applicable local and national electrical and building codes, including the National Electric Code (NEC) in the USA and the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in Canada. Additional requirements may be imposed by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) based on site-specific conditions. Key considerations include (but are not limited to):

Upstream Protection: Properly rated input disconnects and overcurrent protection as required by code.
Clearance & Accessibility: Compliance with minimum access and service clearances.
Conductor Sizing: Use of appropriately rated feeder and load conductors.
Grounding: Mandatory chassis safety grounding of the enclosure.
Impact Protection: Required in locations where the system may be exposed to vehicle or equipment impact.

Always consult the AHJ and relevant regulatory bodies to ensure full compliance before installation.
