INSTALLATION
3.1 General Warnings
These instructions have been designed to assist users of the ABCM Battery Charger with installation.
Before the ABCM can be installed, there are a number of things that need to be considered and
understood to prevent incorrect or unsafe operation of the battery charger or the system into which it is
installed.
Along with relevant competence, and an understanding of the target application, the following points
should be considered:
3.1.1 Ensure that the information provided in this user manual is fully understood.
It is extremely important that the limitations and functionality of the ABCM Battery Charger are
understood to prevent incorrect installation and use from creating a potentially dangerous risk. If in doubt
as to the nature of the limitations or their implication, consult a competent authority such as a supervisor
or Ampcontrol technical representative.
3.1.2 Ensure that the application into which the ABCM Battery Charger is being installed has
been
properly defined, designed and approved.
Any system intended to mitigate the risk of injury needs to be properly designed and implemented. Such
a system must be the result of structured risk analysis with the outcomes used to define the system
requirements. These requirements, in turn, will guide the choice of instrumentation, logic solvers and
actuators needed to implement the system. Understanding the needs of the system will ensure proper
selection of equipment.
3.1.3 Ensure that the ABCM Battery Charger will properly perform the required functions within
the
system design.
It is important to understand how the battery charger is intended to interact with other equipment within a
system. For safe and reliable use, it is crucial that neither the
charger’s logical operation nor its signalling
be compromised by incompatibilities with connected equipment.
3.1.4 Modifications of any form to the ABCM Battery Charger are prohibited.
The ABCM as supplied has been designed and manufactured to comply with the requirements of
protection standards. If modifications of any form are made to the battery charger, the equipment may no
longer be fit for use. If any modifications or damage to the charger is evident, do not use the equipment
and contact Ampcontrol for advice.
3.2 Mandatory Installation Practices
The following information must be adhered to when installing the ABCM Battery Charger. Failure to
adhere to this information may give rise to unsafe operation. Using the ABCM in a manner that exceeds
its electrical, functional or physical specifications, or in a way that is contrary to its operating restrictions,
may create risks to personnel and/or equipment resulting in injury or death.
The charger must be powered within the specified voltage range.
The installation of the battery charger must be carried out by suitably trained and qualified
personnel.
Identification labels fixed to the ABCM must not be damaged, removed or covered before, during
or after installation.
The installation is to be in accordance with the relevant installation Standards/Codes of Practice.
Modifications must not be made to any part of the battery charger. As supplied, the unit is built to,
and complies with the relevant standards. Modification to its construction will render the unit non-
compliant.
Complete and accurate records of the installation must be kept as part of the site installation.
