1.9 Storage
CAUTION!
Exceeding or falling below the valid temperature range
for the batteries may impair performance.
If the valid temperature range of the batteries during stor-
age of the device is exceeded or fallen below, the perfor-
mance of the batteries may be impaired.
Therefore:
–For long periods of storage, please ensure that the valid
temperature range for the fitted batteries does not fall
below -25 °C or exceed +55 °C.
CAUTION!
Material damage caused by the formation of
condensation.
Fluctuations in temperature during storage may cause con-
densation to form. This may lead to subsequent malfunc-
tions of the device.
Therefore:
–After storage or transport in cold weather conditions or
after having been exposed to strong temperature
fluctuations, the device should slowly be adjusted to the
room temperature before being put into operation.
–If condensation has formed, wait at least 12 hours be-
fore putting the device into operation.
If the power supply to the device is cut off during storage
due to disconnecting the batteries then the date and time
must be reset.
The following rules apply for storage:
–The relative humidity should be a maximum of 93%.
–Do not store packages in the open air.
–The storage temperature should not fall below -25 °C and should not
exceed +60 °C.
–Avoid mechanical vibrations during storage of the device.

2.5 Specific risks
The residual risks arising from the risk assessment will be listed below.
Please observe the safety and warning information specified in the
following chapters to reduce risks to health and to prevent dangerous
situations from arising.
WARNING!
Misuse of batteries may present a risk of injury.
Special care must be taken when handling batteries.
Therefore:
–Do not throw batteries into the fire or expose these to
high temperatures. There is a risk of explosion.
–Do not charge batteries. There is a risk of explosion.
–Liquids, that are produced as a result of misuse may
lead to skin irritation. Avoid physical contact with such
liquid. In the event of contact, rinse with large quantities
of water. If the liquid enters the eyes, immediately rinse
with water for 10 minutes and seek medical attention.
WARNING!
Risk of fire from highly flammable substances!
Highly flammable substances, liquids or gases could catch
fire and lead to serious or fatal injuries.
Therefore:
–Do not smoke within the danger zone or within close
proximity to this zone. No naked flames or ignition
sources are permitted within this zone.
–Have a fire extinguisher close to hand.
–Suspicious substances, liquids or gases should be re-
ported to the responsible member of staff immediately.

If environmentally hazardous substances are handled incor-
rectly this may cause significant damage to the environ-
ment, particularly if they are improperly disposed of.
Therefore:
–The instructions below should be observed at all times.
–Appropriate measures should be taken immediately if
environmentally hazardous substances are accidentally
released into the environment. In cases of doubt, please
inform the responsible local authority about the
damages.
The following environmentally hazardous substances are used:

Technical data 19
–The operator must be familiar with the valid occupational safety regula-
tions and must also be able to conduct a risk assessment to determine
risks arising from the specific working conditions in the respective area
of application of the device. The operator must then implement this in
the form of operating instructions for the operation of the device.
–Throughout the entire life cycle of the device, the operator must deter-
mine whether their prepared operating instructions are compatible with
current regulations and amend these if and when necessary.
–The operator must clearly regulate and define responsibilities for the
assembly, connection, putting into operation, and maintenance of the
device.
–The operator must ensure that all employees who use the device have
read and understood this manual. Furthermore, the operator must pro-
vide training to personnel at regular intervals and inform them of the
potential risks.
–The operator of the entire plant in which the device is to be integrated,
must provide personnel with the necessary protective equipment.
Furthermore, the operator is responsible for ensuring that the device
remains in a perfect functioning order at all times. The following therefore
apply:
