Do not obstruct the ventilation for cooling!
The ventilation slots on the upper and lower side of the devices must not be covered by wiring, cable
ducts and things like that.
Run signal and power wiring separately!
Signal and supply lines (power cables) must be laid out so that no malfunctions due to capacitive and
inductive interference can occur (EMC).
Precautions against wiring short-circuits and breakages
Connection plans and user software must be created so that all technical safety aspects, legal
regulations and standards are observed. In practice, possible shortcircuits and breakages must not be
able to lead to dangerous situations. The extent of resulting errors must be kept to a minimum.
Use only ABB approved lithium battery modules!
At the end of the battery's lifetime, always replace it only with a genuine battery module.
Never short-circuit or operate lithium batteries with the polarities reversed!
They are likely to overheat and explode. Avoid chance short circuiting and therefore do not store
batteries in metal containers and do not place them on metallic surfaces. Escaping lithium is a health
hazard.
Never charge lithium batteries!
Lithium batteries are primary cells and cannot be recharged. Attempts to charge lithium batteries lead to
overheating and possible explosions.
Dispose of lithium batteries environmentally consciously!
Do not open lithium batteries and never throw them into fires (risk of explosion). Do not dispose of along
with the household rubbish but in an environmentally conscious manner, in accordance to local-authority
regulations.

Introduction to AC500
Avoidance of electrostatic charging
Electrostatic charging can cause internal defects of the devices and impair the
proper function. Observe the following rules when handling the system:
•
Touch an earthed object in order to discharge the electrostatic
charging.
•
Wear a suitable earthed strap around your wrist.
•
Do not touch any connections or pins on the printed circuit boards.
•
Do not touch any circuits inside the devices.
•
If available, use a work place which is equipped with suitable
electrostatic discharge.
•
In order to avoid electrostatic charging, the devices must only be
stored when packed in suitable packaging material.
