1.2 About this manual
This manual describes the operation and installation of a charging station for photovoltaic solar units intended for feeding
solar electricity into lead storage batteries
The relevant manufacturer’s installation instructions must be observed for installing the solar cells and setting up the
batteries.
Tip:
Before starting work please read the section entitled Installation (Chapter 3; page 7). Ensure that all preparatory
measures have been taken before installation.
Do not start installing the equipment until you are certain that you have understood the technical instructions and only
carry out the work in the order specified in this manual!
The manual must be available, to third parties as well, during all work that is carried out on the system.
This manual is an integral part of the charging station and must be handed over when the station is disposed of.
1.3 General safety instructions
For your safety it is imperative that you observe the following instructions during installation:
Avoid sparking during all work!
Photovoltaic modules generate electricity when they admit light. The voltage is at its full level even with a low incidence
of light, so exercise care when working and take appropriate safety precautions.
Voltages as high as double the system voltages, that is up to 48V, can occur during assembly and electrical installation in
the photovoltaic system’s direct current circuit.
Therefore: never touch bare lead ends!
Only use properly insulated tools!
Do not use any measuring equipment you know to be damaged or defective!
The safety control inherent in the design of the charging station can deteriorate if it is operated in a manner not specified
by the manufacturer.
Obstruction of the equipment ventilation can lead to overheating and thence to breakdown of the equipment. Do not
cover ventilation openings and heat dissipators.
The charging station is only suitable for indoor use, where it is protected from the effects of the weather such as rain and
direct sunlight. It must not be installed and operated in damp areas (e.g. bathrooms), or in rooms in which easily
combustible gas mixtures can occur, such as from gas bottles, paints, varnishes, solvents, etc!
Do not store any of the above-named materials in rooms where the charging station is installed!
The notices and markings placed on the equipment at the factory must not be altered, removed or rendered
indecipherable.
All work must be carried out in accordance with the national electrical requirements and the appropriate local regulations!
Where the equipment is installed abroad information must be obtained from the relevant institutions or authorities
concerning regulations and safety control.
Keep children away from the control electronics and the battery area!
