2. Safety
2.1.Intended Use
The battery system is for residential and works with/without a photovoltaic
system. It is a 51.2V LiFePO4 battery storage system, with the control module on
itself. It could be operated in on-grid and off-grid modes with compatible
inverters.
The battery system could be connected to the PC through USB cable for
maintenance and firmware updating.
The battery system must only be used as stationary equipment.
The battery system is suitable for indoor use only (or well protected place from
raining, snow).
The battery system must only be operated in connection with a compatible
inverter. The list of these inverters could be found at www.gobelpower.com.
The battery system is not suitable for supplying life-sustaining medical devices.
Please ensure that no personal injury would lead due to the power outage of
the battery system.
Alterations to the battery system, e.g., changes or modifications are not allowed
unless the written permission of Gobel Power is achieved. Unauthorized
alterations will void the guarantee and warranty claims. Gobel Power shall not
be held liable for any damage caused by such changes.
The type label should always be attached to the battery system.
2.2.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The battery system has been designed and tested in accordance with
international safety requirements. However, in order to prevent personal injury
and property damage and ensure long-term operation of the battery system,
please do read this section carefully and observe all safety information at all
times.
2.2.1. Battery Module Leakage
If the battery modules leak electrolytes, contact with the leaking liquid or gas
should be avoided. The electrolyte is corrosive, and the contact may cause skin
irritation and chemical burns. If one is exposed to the leaked substance, do
these actions:
Inhalation: Evacuate the contaminated area, and seek medical help
immediately.

6
GP-SR1-PC200 Owner’s Manual
Eye contact: Rinse eyes with flowing water for 15 minutes and seek medical
help immediately.
Skin contact: Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water and seek
medical help immediately.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting and seek medical help immediately.
2.2.2. Firefighting Measures
The battery modules may catch fire when it is put into the fire. In case of a fire,
please make sure that an ABC or carbon dioxide extinguisher is nearby. Water
cannot be used to extinguish the fire.
Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus are required for
the firefighters to extinguish the fire.
2.2.3. Battery Modules Handling and Storage Guide
The battery modules and its components should be protected from damage
when transporting and handling.
• Do not impact, pull, drag, or step on the battery modules.
• Do not insert unrelated objects into any part of the battery modules.
• Do not throw the battery module into a fire.
• Do not soak the battery modules in water or seawater.
• Do not expose to rain or snow.
• Do not expose to strong oxidizers.
• Do not short circuit the battery modules.
• The battery modules cannot be stored at high temperatures (more than
50°C).
• The battery modules cannot be stored directly under the sun.
• The battery modules cannot be stored in a high humidity environment.
• Do not use the battery modules if it is defective, or appears cracked, broken
or otherwise damaged, or fails to operate.
• Do not attempt to open, disassemble, repair, tamper with, or modify the
battery modules. The battery modules are not user-serviceable.
• Do not use cleaning solvents to clean the battery modules.

2.2.4. Warning of Overvoltages
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock in case of overvoltages and if surge
protection is missing
Overvoltages (e. g. in the event of a flash of lightning) can be further
conducted into the building and to other connected devices in the same
network via the network cables or other data cables if there is no surge
protection. Touching live parts and cables results in death or lethal injuries
due to electric shock.
• Ensure that all devices in the same network and the inverter are
integrated into the existing surge protection.
• When laying the network cables or other data cables outdoors, it must
be ensured that a suitable surge protection device is provided at the
transition point of the cable from the inverter outdoors to the inside of a
building.
2.2.5. Caution of Weight
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to weight of the battery module
Injuries may result if the battery module is lifted incorrectly or dropped
while being transported or installed.
• Transport and lift the battery module carefully. Take the weight of the
battery module into account.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the battery
system.
2.2.6. Notice of Property Damage
NOTICE
Damage to the battery system due to under voltages
• If the battery system doesn't start at all, please contact Gobel Power
after-sales service within 48 hours.
