Disconnection:
a.) Automatically, as described below 1. a.) and b.).
b.) Manually, at any time by means of the switch in the living area "OFF", as described below c.).
Restart:
c.) Automatically, when positioning the switch in the living area to "ON", as described below d.) and
e.).
d.) Manually, at any time by positioning the switch in the living area to "ON".
EMERGENCY-ON by means of the switch in the living area:
If the Battery Protector 40 has been switched-off duly due to a very low battery voltage, it can be restarted by means of the
remote control (emergency function). Set the switch in the living area to position "OFF" and restart after approx. 1 -2
seconds. This can be repeated several times, but the consumers being not necessarily required should be disconnected for
relief of the battery to avoid that the unit will be disconnected immediately after that.
If the Battery Protector 40 is disconnected by means of the switch in the living are (main switch function), it
can be reactivated nevertheless by means of the control lever "EMERGENCY". However, in this case, the
electronic monitoring system is not active. Therefore, there is the risk of total discharge of the battery. On the
other hand, the battery charge can be utilized completely in an extreme case of emergency (positioning
lights, lighting etc.).
Safety Regulations:
Appropriate Application:
The Battery Protector 40 has been designed according to the valid safety regulations.
Appropriate application is restricted to:
1.
Deep discharge protection for lead batteries with the specified nominal voltage
2.
Utilisation of the indicated fuses near the battery for protection of the cabling of the unit.
3.
Technically faultless condition.
4.
Installation in a well-ventilated room, protected from rain, humidity, dust, aggressive battery gas, as well
as in an environment being free from condensation water.
Never use the unit at locations where the risk of gas or dust explosion exists!
Open-air operation of the unit is not allowed.
Cables are always to be laid in such a way that damage is excluded. Observe to fasten them tightly.
Never lay 12 V (24 V) cables and 230 V mains supply cables into the same cable conduit (empty conduit).
Live cables or leads being connected to the unit are periodically to be checked for insulation faults, points of
break or loosened connections. If a fault has been detected, disconnect the unit immediately from all
connections and remedy the faults.
The unit is to be disconnected from any connection prior to execution of electrically welding or work on the
electric system.
If the non-commercial end-user is not able to recognize the characteristic values being valid for a unit or the
regulations to be observed, a specialist is always to be consulted.
The user/buyer is obliged to observe any construction and safety regulations.
The unit is not equipped with parts, which can be replaced by the user.
Keep children away from the batteries and the connections.
Observe the safety regulations of the battery manufacturer.
Ventilate the battery room.
Non-observance may result in injury or material damage.
The warranty period is 24 months from the purchase date (against presentation of the sales slip or invoice).
The warranty will be void in case of any inappropriate utilisation of the unit, if it is used beyond the technical
specification, in case of improper operation or external intervention. We do not assume any liability for any
damage resulting hereof. The liability exclusion is extended to any service being executed by third, which has
not been ordered by us in writing. Service is to be effected exclusively by VOTRONIC Lauterbach.
Operating Instructions:
Overvoltage Limitation:
If the voltage rate is e. g. 15.5 V, the supply voltage will be switched-off to protect sensitive consumers. Restart will be
effected 10 seconds after the voltage is below e. g. 15.0 V. If such high voltage levels are reached repeatedly, charging
controller, battery, charger and battery terminals should be checked.
