primarily around the air inlet areas.
•
Dust accumulation must be removed every 12 months.
•
Must be used within its protection norms, and never
be directly in contact with water.
•
Must be used only within the temperature range
specified in the technical specifications.
•
Internal connection torques must be checked once a year.
•
Must not be installed on a surface subject to high
vibration levels (proximity of motors, compressors, etc.).
•
Must not be installed close to the batteries in order to
avoid any gassing that could damage it prematurely.
•
Must not be installed in arduous environments such as:
• Harbour applications (saline environment)
• Close to cold stores
• External locations with exposure to wind and rain
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical and mental capacities, who
are not experienced in their use, unless instructed to do so by
a person responsible for their safety.
Operator safety
Take all necessary precautions when the equipment will
be used in areas where there is the possible risk of an
accident occurring. Ensure appropriate ventilation according
to standard EN 62485-3 to allow any gases released to esca-
pe. Never disconnect the battery while it is being charged.
General warnings
Requirements for use:
•
The equipment must be properly grounded (earthed).
•
The input voltage must match the charger requirements.
•
The
battery
voltage
must
match
the
charger’s
capabilities.
•
The battery capacity is within the charger’s range.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Safety regulations and requirements must be observed.
Safety devices installed on the electrical supply to the
chargers must be of the proper type and rating. It is
important to ensure that only fuses of the proper
capacity should be used if they need to be replaced.
The equipment must be totally disconnected from all power
sources (mains supply and battery) before it can be opened
for inspection or servicing. The battery can only be discon-
nected after the charge has been stopped by pushing the
Stop/Start button. Access to the inside of the charger should
be restricted to authorized maintenance personnel.
Please consult a qualified factory representative about any
problems or questions related to the installation of this unit.
LIMITS OF USE
This charger is designed to be used in a sheltered area.
It is designed exclusively to recharge lead batteries in an
industrial environment.
PRODUCT RECYCLING - DESTRUCTION
When this charger becomes obsolete, it can be recycled
or destroyed by authorized facilities. Local regulations will

MODIFICATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS
EnerSys reserves the right, at any time, to modify or
improve its products, without any obligation to update
this product or this manual accordingly.
The customer is not permitted to modify the product from its
original design and configuration (e.g. fitting additional
modules).

RECEIVING - STORAGE
Upon receipt, please inspect visually the exterior of the
charger for any physical damage. If necessary, proceed
within 24 hours with the usual claims procedure with the
transport company.
If the charger is to be stored before use, it should remain
in the original packaging, carefully closed. Store in a clean,
dry area at a moderate temperature (0 °C to +40 °C). If the
equipment is stored at a temperature below 15°C, it must
be gradually (24 hours) restored to operating temperature
before use, to prevent the risk of condensation that could
cause electrical faults and short-circuits.
