Disregarding the safety requirements can lead to
personal injuries or material damage.
n Ensure that the floor of the room has sufficient load-bearing
capacity to bear the weight of the filled system.
n Ensure that the floor is even and horizontal and has a solid
base surface.
n At a height of 100 cm, the system may be deflected by a max‐
imum of 0.4 cm.
n Ensure that the room has an adequately dimensioned floor
drain to safely drain any escaping water in the event of a pipe
leak.
n Do not locate permanent workplaces in rooms in which the
system is situated.
n Ensure that the room is free of aggressive vapours and chemi‐
cals.
n Ensure that the room contains minimal dust.
n Ensure that the room has an adequate air supply; total cross-
sectional area of the air intake openings > 1875 cm². With a
grid, take into account the area that allows for effective air flow.
n It must be possible to run an exhaust line for the hydrogen from
the room toward the ceiling. Ensure that there is no danger due
to the hydrogen at the end of the exhaust line.
n Ensure that the room temperature and air humidity do not
exceed the permissible limits. Install an air conditioning system
in the room if this cannot be guaranteed.
n Protect the system from direct sunlight.
n Allow a minimum clearance of ⋝ 75 cm for the ventilator and for
service and maintenance to the left and right of the system's

voltage connection for operation of the relevant system.
n Use a non-return valve type BA for connection to the potable
water network, as described in the German version of EN
1717:2000 or the German Technical and Scientific Association
for Gas and Water (DVGW) Technical Regulations or compa‐
rable national standards.
The system requires a stable water pressure of 2 ... 5 bar.
