Page 8of 28 Original installation instructions Hyperion Lithium Ion Energy Storage
In order to avoid dangers such as water pipe bursting, the modular batteries must be
stored at least 15 cm above the floor. Proper installation of the Hyperion fire pump
ensures that the active electrical components are at least 15 cm above the floor.
The Hyperion battery system may:
only be used with Helios modular batteries.
only be used with compatible inverters.
only be used in closed rooms.
only be used in an undamaged condition and in accordance with the
operating instructions.
Any other usage is not intended.
1.3.2 Perilous misuse
Do not use the battery system with other modular batteries.
Do not use the battery system outside its performance limits.
Do not install the battery system in rooms at risk of flooding.
Do not connect the battery system to devices not approved for this
purpose.
Do not open modular batteries. The modular battery may only be
opened by trained service personnel of BMZ GmbH.
1.4 Main hazards
You can expect zero danger from the battery under normal conditions. The battery
corresponds to the state of the art in science and technology. However, it is
impossible to completely exclude risks if the battery is misused or in the event of
technical failure. In case of lithium-ion batteries, these generally include fire,
explosion, chemical burns, and electric shock.
The product-specific risk of hazards is elevated by
water (e. g. flooding),
heat exposure (> 70 °C), and
failure or malfunction of the control system due to electromagnetic
radiation.
Touching live components may cause an electric shock when modular batteries are
connected in series. The electric shock can have thermal or muscle paralysing effects.
The latter can lead to ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest or respiratory paralysis, or
death.
Overload, short circuit or arcing can cause a lithium-ion fire with thermal runaway.
People can be hit by electrolyte or molten material. In the event of fire, there is a risk
of suffocation due to lack of oxygen and a risk of poisoning due to toxic fumes.
1.5 Qualification of the users
Only the electricians qualified by BMZ GmbH or BMZ GmbH itself may install the
battery system.
