higher than 50%), recharging should not be deferred for a long time.
z
Low and permanent overcharge is another cause of premature wear. The Invertek
Charger delivers the current necessary for battery charge and adapts itself to supply
the optimum end of charge.
z
The accidental and violent overcharge or higher end of charge current produces early
destruction by excessive rise of temperature. The temperature should not exceed 50°C.
By the regulation of the current, the Invertek protects the battery from the temperature
rise at the end of charge.
It is advisable to
z
Put batteries in a well ventilated area
z
Not to smoke near batteries
z
Take the battery manufacturer prescriptions into consideration
Accidental Leakage Current between Line And Earth
z
Connections will be realized by an electrician or a professional installer.
z
The charger must be connected to a system having a two-pole differential circuit
breaker with 30 mA sensitivity.
Accidental Leakage Current between Charge Circuit and Earth
z
To detect accidental leakage currents to earth, you must use a safety device outside
the charger.
z
The rating and nature of the protection must be ensured by the installer.
z
Special precautions are recommended on any installation where there is a danger of
electrolytic effects.
z
Regulations require the presence of a battery cut-out on the pole and on
the output – pole.
Precautions Regarding Lightning Strike
In geographic zones exposed to a high risk of lightning strikes, it may be recommended
fitting a lightning conductor on the inlet side of the charger.
Rich Electric will not take
charge of
damaged caused by lightning strike.
Precautions Regarding Electromagnetic Interference
z
Make sure the length of the cables and screening connections are kept as short as
possible.
z
Separate the power supply cables from output cables.
z
Cables must only carry the charger power supply. Branch or bridging connections in
order to supply another equipment are too be banned.
Installation
The location of the Invertek charger must be chosen by the following criteria:
Protection from unauthorized handling.
Dry dust free room, no condensation, no rodents.
Keep ventilation holes free. The ventilation of the Invertek is designed in such a way that
it will work most efficiently when mounted horizontally.
Before any connection, put the switch on the right charging curve.
