4.1 General information
The QUBE® safety case must be checked immediately upon delivery and any recognisable defects must
be immediately noted on the accompanying document / consignment note from the freight forwarder. De-
fects have to be reported to the seller or the Celsion Brandschutzsysteme GmbH in writing (no later than
5 working days after delivery).
The transfer of risk is upon delivery. Defects that may have arisen as a result of further transport of the
systems are excluded from subsequent performance.
In case of doubt, the device is not to be used!
Please note that a switch (e.g. circuit breaker or power switch) must be assigned to this device as a dis-
connection device. This applies both to an integration into the electrical installation of the building, as
well as to the connection with the standard power plug.
Care should be taken to ensure that this switch is properly installed and easily accessible to the user.
Any specications regarding the electrical protection of the regulations applicable on site must be taken
into account.
The safety case must not be operated with the aid of a socket strip.
Improper installation can damage both the product and all other connected devices.
4.2 Transport
Improper transport (hard impacts, transport without air suspension, repeated reloading, unilateral loading
during installation, etc.) can have an impact on the re protection function (damage to the re protection
panels or their connections).
If a relocation of the system is necessary, it may only take place uniformly, over the entire surface and
with the door closed.
For safety and approval reasons (CE), the safety case may only be transported
or moved separately from the extinguishing medium tank. Transport with an
attached extinguishing medium tank is not permitted!

4.4 Installation
4.4.1 General information
1. The housing must be placed at on a suciently load-bearing surface
2. In case of smooth surfaces, a non-slip mat may need to be laid underneath
3. Check the position of the housing by means of a spirit level and align it if necessary
The door must not grind on the body when opening and closing.
The gap dimensions between the door and the body must be uniform.
The version-dependent closure must be able to lock properly.
An impairment of the stability of the system when the doors are open is to be expected if the
system has not been screwed to the structure.
4.4.2 Line-up options (height x width)
2x1 2x2
3x1 3x2
If you require a larger line-up than 3x2, please contact our customer service.
Example: QUBE®Basis Plus
10
4.4.3 Line-up vertically (optional)
4.4.3.1 Screw connections between the QUBE®safety cases
1. Align the QUBE®safety cases ush
at the corners
required materials
2. Remove each of the right and left screws
from the lower strip of the enclosure
opening of the upper safety case
3. Pre-drill through the existing screw holes
with a 4 mm drill bit, 60 mm deep
4. Remove the existing drill dust from the
hole and screw the new fasteners
(2 pieces 4,5 x 60 mm wood construction
screws) into the drill holes
Do not
overtighten!
Repeat steps 1-4 for another line-up.
11
4.4.3.2 Back wall mounting / anti-tilt (optional)
required materials
Due to the reduced stability, a tilt protection is man-
datory for each vertical line-up. The pre-drilled xing
holes in the rear panel must be provided at the ma-
nufacturer’s work and can only be made subsequently
by our authorised service personnel. We therefore
recommend specifying this in advance in the orde-
ring process.
1. Check the accessories for completeness
• Pre-drilled xing holes in the back
wall of the enclosure
2. Align the safety case vertically on
the wall and drill through the pre-
drilled fastening holes in the rear
panel. Do not drill into/through the
rear panel of the enclosure!
Caution: Danger of breakage!
3. The exact drilling depth depends on the dowel
length and is to be determined as follows:
• Required drilling depth =
dowel length (135 mm) – panel thicknes
(68 mm) + 10 mm
• minimum anchoring depth of the provided
dowels: 50 mm
• drilling diameter: 10 mm
4. Remove the drill dust from the drill hole.
Hammer in the dowel with the screw up to the
drill hole opening (push-through installation),
tighten the screw with a suitable wrench/screw
driver/cordless screwdriver until the screw head
is ush with the dowel that has been driven in.
Do not overtighten!
Do not countersink the screw head into the
material!
Wall surfaces must be level and plumb. Unevenness on the wall surface (gaps/sinkings/curva-
tures) of more than 5.0 mm must be evened out with the re protection putty (Crystal Cel) so
that the properties of re protection are guaranteed.
12
4.4.4 Line-up horizontally (optional)
4.4.4.1 Screw connections between the QUBE®safety cases
required materials
1. Align the two QUBE® safety cases and
the 41 mm re protection panel ush with

2. Remove the upper and lower screw from the right
strip of the left safety case as well as the upper
and lower screw from the left strip of the right
safety case
13
3. Pre-drill the existing xing holes with a 4mm drill
bit, 60 mm deep
4. Remove the existing drill dust from the hole and
screw the fasteners (2 x 2 pieces 4.5 x 60 mm
wood construction screws) into the drilled holes
Since horizontal line-up is usually requested in combination with vertical line-up, point
4.4.3 must also be considered in the next step.
Do not
overtighten!
