Product information „CEMO 8/10 LockEX 2.0 charging cabinet “

Brief overview

The CEMO 8/10 LockEX 2.0 charging cabinets are safety cabinets designed for the stationary storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries indoors. They are particularly suitable for workshops, industrial, service and storage areas where batteries need to be protected and housed in a physically segregated space whilst in storage and during charging.

The fire- and explosion-resistant design combines passive fire protection measures with mechanical ventilation, fire detection and the LockEX 2.0 pressure relief system. Depending on the required level of safety and monitoring, the Basic, Premium and Premium Plus models are available. All three variants feature two 9-socket power strips with a total of 18 sockets and are available with either a 230 V or 400 V power supply, as well as with stacking feet or castors.

Safety and protection features

The integrated fire detection system provides an audible warning should a fire be detected. Whilst the Basic version uses a battery-powered smoke detector, the Premium and Premium Plus versions are fitted with a mains-powered smoke detector. Temperature monitoring is carried out via a thermal cut-out in the Basic and Premium models, and via a temperature sensor in the Premium Plus model.

The LockEX 2.0 locking system is designed to provide controlled pressure relief in the event of an explosive rise in pressure inside the cabinet. The spring mechanism enables the doors to open in a controlled manner to relieve pressure and then close again.

The fire-propagation-preventing compartmentalisation helps to limit the spread of fire between individual batteries or battery modules. In addition, the charging cabinets are fitted with mechanical ventilation and a door contact switch. When the door is open, the power supply is interrupted; the circuit is also switched off in the event of critical heat build-up.

The Premium version offers the option of connecting to an external safety or fire alarm system via a potential-free contact. The Premium Plus version adds a temperature sensor, a display and an alarm relay. According to the manufacturer, this variant allows for communication via either Wi-Fi or SMS.

Applications

The CEMO 8/10 LockEX 2.0 charging cabinets are designed for the storage and simultaneous charging of lithium-ion batteries in commercial and industrial indoor environments.

Typical areas of application include:

  • Industrial and manufacturing facilities
  • Workshops and service areas
  • Trades businesses
  • Warehouse and logistics areas
  • Research and development
  • Charging and storing tool batteries
  • Tool and machine batteries

With three equipment levels available, the charging cabinet can be selected to suit operational requirements. The ‘Basic’ model is suitable for applications requiring basic monitoring, whilst the ‘Premium’ and ‘Premium Plus’ models offer additional options for integration into operational safety and alarm systems.

The choice between 230 V and 400 V also allows the charging infrastructure to be adapted to the required electrical power. With stacking feet or castors, the cabinet can also be configured to suit specific installation and handling requirements.

Approvals / Standards

Tested in accordance with:

  • Basic and Premium: tested and certified in accordance with VDMA 24994
  • Premium Plus: certified to VDMA 24994
  • TÜV NORD Certificate 44 780 23136701

Notes on use

The CEMO 8/10 LockEX 2.0 variants are designed as storage and charging cabinets for lithium-ion batteries and are intended for indoor installation. The integrated charging infrastructure provides a total of 18 charging points.

The doors should remain closed during the charging process. The integrated door contact switch cuts off the power supply if the doors are opened. Specific use and installation should be carried out as part of the workplace risk assessment and in accordance with the relevant fire safety plan.

When selecting the base unit, please note that models with stacking feet can be stacked up to two high. Models with castors are not stackable. Both variants are specified as wheelchair-accessible in the manufacturer’s data sheets.

Conclusion

The CEMO 8/10 LockEX 2.0 charging cabinets offer a fire- and explosion-resistant solution for the storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries indoors. With the three equipment levels – Basic, Premium and Premium Plus – the scope of the monitoring and alarm functions can be adapted to different operational requirements.

The additional choice between 230 V and 400 V, as well as stacking feet and castors, allows the charging cabinet to be configured according to the required charging power and the requirements at the installation site. The combination of charging infrastructure, fire detection, mechanical ventilation, pressure relief and fire-retardant storage shelves supports the integration of battery charging into existing operational and fire safety concepts.

FAQ

Standard security cabinets are designed for indoor use, so they cannot be used outdoors.
The fire protection panels installed in the cabinets contain gypsum, which contains a lot of water, which expands when frozen. This deforms the panels. It can no longer be guaranteed that such a cabinet is still sealed or can withstand an explosion.

If you already have a suitable room that is structurally fire-resistant, then you do not necessarily need a safety cabinet to contain the fire.

However, please do not forget that the damage caused by a battery fire involves immense and also toxic contamination, the disposal of which can quickly lead to high costs.

In addition, you may not be able to continue working as usual until the damage has been finally repaired - depending on the location of the damage.
