HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRONIC
BATTERY CHARGER
OPERATING MANUAL
Attention: Carefully read this operating manual before connecting the
charger to AC supply and the battery pack.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CHARGER
This device is an electronic battery charger with microprocessor control suitable for any lead
acid battery type when correctly set. Charging of lithium batteries is possible – see special
warnings for charging lithium batteries below.
Fully automatic charging with electronic setting; protected against overload, short-circuit and
reversed polarity.
WARNINGS
Never disconnect the battery while charging: this could cause sparks.
Never use the equipment in the rain, in areas used for washing or in damp areas.
Caution: the gases generated during charging are explosive. Do not smoke in the vicinity of
the batteries. When working with cables and electrical equipment, avoid open flames and
sparks.
Before starting to charge, make sure the voltage of the equipment suits the voltage of the
battery, that the charging current suits the capacity of the battery and that the selected
charging curve (for lead-acid wet batteries or VRLA -
i.e. gel or agm
- batteries) is correct for the
type of battery to be charged. In addition, make sure the rated input voltage of the charger suits
the available supply voltage and the system is grounded.
If necessary, replace the fuse with another of the same type and value as indicated on the
rating plate.
Use battery chargers only in well ventilated areas.
Pay attention to any remarks of the battery manufacturer.
To use the charger, you must abide by safety regulations contained in laws and any
regulations or other provisions stipulated by local authorities.
The user of the equipment is responsible for the installation site of the charger. They must
check if sensitive appliances are disturbed by the influence of the battery charger. They must
choose an installation site so that the operation of the charger does not affect the function of
electromagnetic devices and magnetic data carriers (e.g. pace makers, monitors, magnetic
disks and diskettes, magnetic tapes, magnetic cards, watches etc.), since a high direct
current may produce interfering magnetic fields.
Attention:
Use protective glasses and gloves during battery maintenance. Battery acid
causes injuries. In case of contact with battery acid, wash the affected parts with fresh water
and consult a doctor if necessary.
This is an EMC compliant product in class A+B as defined by the CEI EN 61000-6-2, CEI EN
61000-6-3 and CEI EN 61000-6-4 regulations, in other words for use in both residential and in
industrial environments.
