CAUTION !

Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.

Do not place the unit near materials that may block the ventilation slots.

Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place 

subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

CAUTION !

The operations and settings described in this chapter are 

fundamental for the good functionality of the charger. 

Improper settings can cause severe damage to the charger and the battery!

Before to install the charger:

Check that the charger input voltage (V) is identical to your AC power supply voltage.

Check that the charger max input power (KVA) is available from your AC power supply.
