Dear User,
Congratulations with the purchase of your lithium-ion cabinet. Please read this manual

Keep the manual and this additional information for reference.
For optimal performance and long-term functionality and to ensure the safety and security of the

If you have any questions about your Salvus lithium-ion cabinet or in the unlikely event of a
malfunction, please get in touch with the Nauta Service Team.
Yours faithfully, The
Nauta Service Team

1. General safety advice
•Please read the entire manual before you start using the cabinet. Incorrect use and failure to
heed warnings and follow instructions may lead to serious injury.
•This cabinet is intended for storing and charging lithium-ion and other batteries. Only use
original manufacturers’ batteries and heed all warnings, instructions, illustrations and
information supplied with the battery.
•Never change the cabinet settings yourself, always contact the Nauta Service Team.
•Only allow qualified and skilled personnel to repair the electrical system and only allow those
repairs to be undertaken with original parts.
•The service hatch must only be opened for safety and security inspections and only by the
Nauta Service Team and qualified, skilled personnel.
•Always keep the cabinet door closed so that any fire is limited to inside the cabinet.
•Never open the cabinet door yourself if the alarm sounds. Telephone the emergency services
and leave it to the fire brigade to open the cabinet.
•Never impede the smoke duct and the ventilation grill by placing anything on top of the
cabinet.
•Place the cabinet in a well-ventilated room. In the event of a fire, poisonous gases may be
discharged.
•Ensure that no unauthorised person who has not been instructed in the cabinet’s use gains
access to it.
•A CEE-form plug is attached to the lithium-ion battery cabinet. Ensure that the voltage of the
electricity source corresponds with that of the plug.
•Never exceed the maximum amperage indicated.
•Only use original, undamaged cables and plugs for charging batteries.
•Plug the charger directly into the charging point in the cabinet and never into a multiple
socket and/or extension cable.
•Make sure that the fuse switch in the cabinet is up (position 1). The fuse switch is inside the
cabinet on the outside of the lowest technical compartment.
2. Guarantee
The manufacturer Nauta provides a warranty period of 24 months from the date of delivery on the
cabinets specified in the manual.
3. Transport
Move the cabinet in an upright position with a pallet truck. We recommend that you have the
cabinet placed in its intended location by a specialist company.
Improper transport may lead to hidden damage to cabinets and to their fire proofing and fire
protection.

4. Putting the cabinet into service
Installation
•Place the cabinet on a firm surface and ensure that it is level.
•The cabinet cannot tip over and fall due to its heavy weight.
•Place the cabinet where the door can open 180°.
•Ensure that the cabinet is in a well-ventilated room. Depending on its duration, a fire may
produce poisonous gasses.
Switching on the cabinet
•On the outside of the cabinet is an electricity cable approx. 1.5 metres long that is fitted with a
three-pole CEE-form 230V 16A plug as standard. Push the plug directly into a compatible wall
socket. Do not use an extension cable.
•Ensure that the cabinet cable is connected to an exclusive circuit in accordance with NEN
regulations.
•Make sure that the fuse switch in the cabinet is up (position 1). The fuse switch is inside the
cabinet on the outside of the lowest technical compartment.
•Ensure that the maximum power of the cabinet (3600W) is never exceeded.
•Ensure that the maximum load-bearing capacity of the shelves of approx. 60 kg is never
exceeded.
•Always keep the cabinet door closed so that any fire is limited to inside the cabinet.
•Never impede the smoke duct and the ventilation grill by placing anything on top of the
cabinet.
Opening and closing the cabinet door
Opening the cabinet door
•Turn the handle to the open position.
•Open the door as far as possible without forcing until it stays open.
Closing the cabinet door
•Turn the handle to the closed position.
•If the door remains open, an alarm will sound after two minutes to indicate that the door must
be closed.
•Closing the door is entirely mechanical and requires very little force from the locking
mechanism. There is therefore very little risk involved and there is little danger of injury.

5. Storing and charging batteries
The Salvus lithium-ion cabinet provides 230V of electricity to charge the batteries in it. Never exceed
the maximum amperage indicated.
Total power per charging point:
Maximum voltage
230V
Fuse
16A
Maximum power
3600W
Safe charging:
•Use the battery’s original charger only.
•Use the charging points as installed in the cabinet only.
•On no account use multiple sockets and/or extension cables.
•The cabinet can only work properly and safely and securely if the door is kept closed.
6. Earthing
An earthing connection may be required depending on the client-specific use of the Salvus
lithium-ion cabinet. Seek advice from qualified and skilled personnel.
7. Ventilation
•Salvus lithium-ion cabinets are fitted with a mechanical ventilation system. This fire-resistant
ventilation grill consists of a frame and slats and is filled with thermally expansive material. If
the temperature exceeds 100°C, the grill closes and seals itself.
•Ensure that the cabinet is in a well-ventilated room. Depending on its duration, a fire may
produce poisonous gasses.
•The cabinet is installed with a mechanically ventilated smoke duct so that smoke and gasses
that are produced by any battery fire can be carried away safely.
8. Opening the cabinet after a fire
•Never open the cabinet door yourself if the alarm sounds. On models where they are installed,
warning lamps will also light up. Telephone the emergency services and leave it to the fire
brigade to open the cabinet.
•Be warned! Depending on its duration, a fire may produce poisonous gasses.
•Telephone the Nauta Service Team once the fire has been extinguished so that the cabinet can
be inspected to see if it can continue to be used.
•For advice as to the disposal of damaged batteries, contact the manufacturer.
