INSTALLATION AND SAFETY WARNINGS
•
Installation errors and the misuse of the battery charger can damage the battery charger and harm the operator.
•
Only specialised personnel authorised can carry out operations that require the battery charger to be opened.
•
If its safe operation cannot be ensured, stop the battery charger and make sure it cannot be not put back into operation.
•
Before operating the battery charger, the insulation of mains connection cables and of the battery connectors must be verified.
•
Disconnect the mains connection before connecting or disconnecting the battery.
•
In order to prevent accidents ensure that the selected charging curve is suited to the type of battery. Do not charge any other type
of batteries, either rechargeable or non-rechargeable, since they could explode, causing serious damages and injuries.
•
Carefully read all the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer, such as whether to remove the plugs of the elements
during the charge or not.
•
CAUTION!!
The battery generates explosive gases during the charge. Therefore, in the vicinity of the battery it is prohibited to
smoke and use naked flames and sparks.
•
Do not place the battery charger near the battery to be charged; any gas produced/emitted by the battery during the charge can
corrode or damage the battery charger. Place the battery charger as far away as possible from the battery as permitted by the
battery cables.
•
CAUTION!!
The location of the battery charger must take into account the fact that it contains electric/electronic components that
can produce electric arcs. It must not be exposed to rain, water sprays, humidity and vapours and it must be stored away from
heat sources. Dusty places must be especially avoided.
•
DO NOT place or fasten the battery charger on flammable surfaces (such as shelves and/or wooden walls).
•
In order to optimise the battery charger's heat exchange, and, therefore, ensure its reliability, it is important to place it so as to
allow heat exchange with the environment. It must be installed in vertical position (using the 4 fastening holes)
•
To prevent electrocution risks, the battery charger
must be connected to an earthed socket.
Moreover, the socket must be
proportionate to the battery charger's power consumption and must be protected by adequate electrical equipment (fuse or
automatic cut-out) set for a current that is at least 10% higher than the absorbed current stated on the device's serial plate.
•
CAUTION!!
Prior to the charge, ensure that the battery charger's input voltage indicated on the serial plate is compatible with the
power supply voltage and that the system is earthed.
•
CAUTION!!
Ensure compatibility of the mains plug provided with the battery charger: Do not use adaptors; should the socket not
be earthed, a suitable plug must be installed by qualified personnel before using the device.
•
The outer surface of the battery charger may overheat during operation and remain hot even after it's been switched off.
•
The battery charger must not be used as a critical component in life support devices or systems
•
Failure to comply with the installation and use instructions may compromise the protection provided by the device and make the
guarantee void.
•
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
