SIMATIC 545/555/575 System Manual
Installing 505 System Hardware
Use the following safety instructions to minimize the risk of personal injury
or fire hazard when handling lithium batteries.
Lithium batteries contain flammable material. Do not open, puncture, or
crush the battery case. Puncturing the battery case releases electrolyte and
potentially flammable material. Exposure to electrolyte can cause throat
and/or eye irritation. If the electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or
eyes, flush the area thoroughly with large amounts of water.
Never use a lithium battery in a completely sealed container. Containers
must have a mechanism for relieving pressure if the battery is exposed to
high temperature or abuse.
If a lithium battery short-circuits, disconnect it immediately and move it to
a well-ventilated area. Wear safety glasses and other protective gear when
handling a disabled battery.
Transportation of lithium batteries is regulated by the U.S. Department of
Transportation. Lithium batteries must be shipped under exemption
DOT–E 7502.
• For international shipments, IATA Regulation 2294 applies.
• Lithium batteries such as the one used in the 545 and 555 CPUs, which
contains less than 0.5 grams of lithium, are not restricted in shipment,
according to DOT 173.206 (f) or IATA Section X.
Take precautions in storing batteries.
• Do not place batteries on a metal surface; doing so could cause a
potential short circuit.
• Do not store batteries loosely or in dump bins. Store batteries in the
original shipping container.
• Store batteries in a cool, well-ventilated area with a maximum
temperature of 70°C (158°F).
Batteries to be discarded may contain a significant amount of unused
energy. They must be packed for disposal and isolated electrically. Batteries
must be disposed of in accordance with all local, state and federal
regulations.
