RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations for safe operation
This manual should be carefully read, prior to using the equipment,
by anyone intending to use the charger. The Life IQ:
•
Must not have its air circulation impaired in any way, 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 air)
• Close to cold stores
• External locations with exposure to wind and rain.
Operator safety
All proper precautions must be observed when the equipment is used
in areas where accidents are possible. Ensure proper ventilation when
the charger is used with lead-acid batteries, due to gassing.
Never disconnect the battery during the charging process.
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 be used, should they need to be replaced.
This charger meets the Class 1 Electrical Safety requirements, and
therefore needs to be properly grounded during installation. It must be
connected to a power supply equipped with a ground cable, and the
ground connection should be as short as possible.
The equipment must be totally disconnected from all power sources
(main supply and battery) before it can be opened for inspection or
servicing. The battery can only be disconnected
after
the STOP/START
button has been pushed. 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.
