expose the ChargeMaster Plus to rain, snow,
spray, moisture, excessive pollution and
condensing circumstances. To reduce risk of
fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the
ventilation openings. Do not install the
ChargeMaster Plus in a non-ventilated room,
as overheating may result.

electrical system. Installation of, and work on
the ChargeMaster Plus, may be carried out
only by qualified and trained personnel,
consistent with the locally applicable standards
and regulations.
9
Make sure that all wiring is properly installed,
in good electrical condition, and correctly
sized to match the AC ampere rating of the
ChargeMaster Plus. Check the wiring on a
regular base, at least once a year. Do not use
the ChargeMaster Plus when the wiring is
undersized or damaged.

Do not operate the ChargeMaster Plus if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a

reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire.

To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect
the ChargeMaster Plus from both AC and DC
electrical system before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls
will not reduce this risk. Be sure that third
parties cannot reverse the measures taken.

extinguisher which is appropriate for electrical
equipment.
