2. WARNING
IMPORTANT NOTE ON BATTERIES:
DANGER: Batteries are electrically live at all times, take great care never to short circuit the battery
terminals.
WARNING: Batteries are often heavy, take great care when lifting and transporting batteries. For
weights above 24kg, lifting aids should be used.
WARNING: Do not attempt to remove the battery lid or tamper with the battery internal workings.
Electrolyte is a highly corrosive substance and presents significant danger to yourself and to
anything else it touches. In case of accidental skin or eye contact, flush the affected area with plenty
of clean, fresh water and seek immediate medical attention.
VRLA batteries are “low maintenance” requiring no electrolyte top-up or measurement of specific
gravity. Always refer to the battery manufacturer’s data.
WARNING: If required, clean the case of the battery with a cloth that has been soaked or
dampened with distilled water. Do not use organic solvents (such as petrol, paint thinners, benzene
or mineral spirits) and other materials can substantially weaken the case.
WARNING: Avoid charging the batteries in float/standby applications outside of the range quoted
by the battery manufacturer.
WARNING: Do not incinerate batteries. If placed in a fire, the batteries may rupture, with the
potential to release hazardous gases and electrolyte. VRLA batteries contain substances harmful to
the environment. Exhausted batteries must be recycled. Return them to the battery manufacturer or
take them to your Council tip for appropriate disposal.
The volt-free contacts provided on the A1584 must not be used directly to switch any voltage which
exceeds 60V a.c @ 0.5 Amps or 24VDC @ 1 Amp.
This equipment requires a 230V a.c supply. All installation work should be carried out in
accordance with the recommendation of BS5839 Part 1 and the current edition of the IEE
regulations by suitably qualified and trained personnel.
This power supply is suitable for indoor use only and must be installed in a dry and clean area.
This power supply must be earthed.
DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER OVER THE SWITCHMODE UNIT AS THIS WILL EXPOSE
DANGEROUS VOLTAGES.
