The latter could be achieved for example by colour-coding or mechanically coding the
connector.
Always observe and comply with the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
If the charger has a charging program which has been modified, the owner is obliged to
permanently advise of the suitable battery type on the housing exterior.
To ensure proper use, observe and comply with the details on the location site (see
sections 2.5 and 5.2), the data plate and the specifications (see Appendix).

Risk of injury
Serious damage to personnel and property could arise from:
-
improper use or incorrect operation,
-
unauthorised opening of the charger,
-
incorrect installation or improper service or repair work.
All instructions regarding the correct use, residual risk, installation, operation and
maintenance contained in these operating instructions must therefore be noted and
observed.
The charger must only be used for the purposes foreseen in the present operating
instructions and the technical description and only with the accessories or components
recommended and approved by the manufacturer.
Any other use beyond the scope of the above is not appropriate. The owner or user of the

Assembly and Installation Safety Instructions
Before installing the charger, check that all the components have been supplied against
the delivery notes. If anything is missing, immediately contact the manufacturer.
The place of operation must be weather-proof and dry.
The ambient temperature at the site must not fall below 0°C or exceed 40°C. Avoid the
build-up of heat within the charger, e.g. through heat sources or by blocking the air
vents.
The location site must be sufficiently ventilated to distribute (reduce) charging gases
which may arise (acid fog, electrolytic gas) and prevent the build-up of explosive gas
mixtures.
The site must not contain excessive dust. Avoid the occurrence of conductive dust (soot,
metal).
No liquid must enter the inside of the charger.
The distance between the charger and inflammable materials must be at least 2.5m
horizontally. It is forbidden to store inflammable materials, e.g. in shelves, or to use
inflammable materials above the charger. There must be at least a 5.00m gap between
fire and explosive-hazardous areas.
The charger must be protected against overload or stress. In particular, no components
must be damaged during transport and when being handled. Avoid contact with
electronic components.
The charger contains electrostatic endangered components which can easily be damaged
through improper handling. Electrical components must not be physically damaged or
destroyed.
