1. Safety precautions
Warnings
Warning signs indicate conditions that may cause severe injury to the installer or damage to
the BS, and that caution should be exercised to avoid danger. The following table describes
the warning signs used in this manual.
Figure 1 – warning symbols.
Sign Description
This BS contains high-voltage materials that can cause an electric shock,
resulting in severe injury.
Ensure that battery polarity is observed, and that the BS is connected
correctly.
Keep the BS away from an open flame or sources of ignition.
Keep children and animals away from the BS.
Read the manual in its entirety before installing and operating the BS.
The BS is heavy enough to cause severe injury if not handled correctly.
The BS contains electrolyte, which is corrosive if it leaks.
The BS may explode if not handled correctly.
The BS should be recycled, not be disposed of with household waste, at the
end of its working life. For more information, contact Soluna Australia.
There is a risk of physical injury or damage to the BS if the installation
requirements are not followed and/or the BS is mishandled.

Response to emergencies
The Soluna 10K PACK HV BS comprises multiple batteries that are designed in such a way as
to prevent hazards resulting from failures. However, Soluna Australia cannot guarantee the
absolute safety of the BS.
Leaking batteries
If the BS leaks electrolyte, avoid contact with the leaking liquid or gas. The electrolyte is
corrosive – contact with it may cause skin irritation and/or chemical burns. If a person/animal is
exposed to the leaked substance, do the following.
1) Avoid inhalation of the leaked substance.
2) Evacuate the contaminated area and seek medical attention immediately.
3) Avoid eye contact with the leaked substance.
4) If eye contact occurs, rinse eyes with flowing water for 15 minutes and immediately seek
medical attention.
5) Avoid skin contact with the leaked substance.
6) If the skin does come into contact with the leaked substance, wash the affected area
thoroughly with soap and water and immediately seek medical attention.
7) Avoid ingestion of the leaked substance.
8) If ingestion does occur, induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately.
Fire
Always keep an ABC or carbon-dioxide fire extinguisher nearby in case of fire.
The BS may catch fire if heated above 150° Celsius.
If there is a fire near or at the location in which the BS is installed, do the following.
1) If it is safe to do so, extinguish the fire before the BS ignites.
If the BS does ignite, do not try to extinguish the fire; instead, call the fire brigade. Notify
everyone and evacuate people and animals from the area immediately.
If the BS catches fire, it will produce noxious and very unpleasant gases – do not
approach.
Wet batteries
If the BS becomes wet or is submerged in water, stay out of the water and contact Soluna
Australia or your distributor for technical assistance.
Damaged batteries
Damaged batteries must be handled with extreme caution – they are not fit for use and may
pose a danger to people, animals or property.
If the BS appears damaged, return it to its original container and contact Soluna Australia or
your distributor for further instructions.
Damaged batteries may leak electrolyte or produce flammable gas. If
you suspect such
damage, immediately contact Soluna Australia for advice and information.

3. Installation
The BS is too heavy for one person to carry. Ensure that two or more people are available
to do so.
Note: an external bi-pole circuit breaker is required for battery output. During installation, an
external bi-pole DC isolator is required.
Space requirements during installation and operation
To ensure adequate ventilation during installation, where possible, allow a space of 200 cm in
all directions around the BS.
Position Minimum
spacing
(cm)
Remark
Side spacing 100 Allow a clearance of at least 100 cm on either side of the BS.
Above 40 Nothing should be placed on top of the BS – allow clearance of at
least 40 cm.
Below Always use the floor-mounting brackets supplied. Their height is
adjustable, allowing the installer to ensure that the BS is level when
installed (minimum height is the bottom of the bracket).
Backspacing 10 The BS needs to be installed against a wall.
Note: for detailed requirements concerning the width of the maintenance channel, escape
routes, etc., refer to applicable standards for the country/region in which the BS is installed.
