CHAPTER 9: INSTALLATION, SAFETY, FAILURE DETECTION, AND MAINTENANCE
In this chapter the main info are provided, necessary to the
Service Personnel
to carry out a correct
installation of the battery charger, a quick detection of the most common failures, and a proper maintenance of
the unit.
9.1: INSTALLATION
The general notes on installation are already provided in the user manual enclosed to each battery charger.
Only the major items are summarized below.
•
It is essential to connect the charger to a mains supply of standards corresponding to the power of the
battery charger installed to be sure that the charger functions properly.
•
The charger is equipped with taps to adjust the charger to mains, compensating for possible differences
between the voltage available at the user’s site and the rated voltage.
•
The single-phase chargers are preset for a rated voltage of 230V AC.
•
The three-phase chargers are preset for a rated voltage of 400V AC (
or other values depending on the
destination country
).
•
Checking the mains voltage is essential
: a mains voltage which is too high or too low compared with the
rated value, may result in big differences in the current delivered by the battery charger with following
malfunction of the charger and lower performances of the battery.
9.2: SAFETY NOTES
•
Ensure that the battery charger is positioned onto a solid, flat, and even floor, and is protected against
possible impacts from forklift trucks and other vehicles.
•
The battery charger has to be installed in a site free from materials which may prevent its natural
ventilation, necessary to dissipate the produced heat.
•
Do not position the charger near explosive, inflammable, and/or dangerous materials.
•
Make sure that the battery charger is neither exposed to rain, moisture or fog, nor splashed with water.
•
Do not install it outdoor*, under unstable sheds or shelters,with the exception of special versions with
protection class IPX3 or higher.
•
Check the condition of sockets, fuses and/or switches, existing at user’s site, and of connection cables. Do
not use patch cords to prolong the existing power cord!!
•
Make sure that the battery charger is equipped with an electrical connector suitable for its power and current
and it is connected to an adequate mains socket!! (check inputs and powers on the rating plate).
•
Check connections between battery and charger: if they are damaged and/or worn-out they may produce
dangerous overheatings.
•
All checks and/or settings have to be performed by qualified, skilled, and authorised personnel
only.
