Safety instructions for operating the product
• A damaged or malfunctioning machine must never be used. If damage or malfunctions are
discovered during pre-operation inspection or function tests, the machine must be tagged
and removed from service.
• For safety and electromagnetic compatibility, the high frequency charger has a 3-way plug
as a safety feature and only fits into a grounded socket. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the socket, you may have an older, ungrounded socket. Do not continue to use the unit
and contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to bypass the
grounding.
• A maximum distance of 3 meters between the high frequency charger and the battery is
recommended.
• Only people who work with the battery and the high frequency charger may be in the
vicinity of the devices. Other people must keep their distance.
• If you want to charge lead-acid batteries, be warned that an explosive gas is released during
charging. Avoid flames and sparks. Place the battery in an open, well-ventilated area.
• Battery acid is very corrosive. Always wear the correct eye and body protection when
you are near batteries. Always wear safety shoes and gloves when working with the high
frequency charger or battery. If you do come into contact with battery acid, follow the
instructions in chapter 11.3.
• Check that the available power supply voltage matches the voltage indicated on the
equipment’s type plate. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
• The battery produces very high currents when short-circuited and any metal conductor
that is carrying this current will burn the skin severely if they come into contact.
• Under no circumstances should jewellery or conductive material come into contact with
the battery terminals or the cell connectors on top of the battery.
• Do not charge batteries on board of thermal engines.
• Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Check that the selected charging curve is suitable for the type of battery to be recharged.
Take a good look at the rating plate of both the high frequency charger and the battery.
If in doubt, contact your dealer.
• Energic Plus is under no circumstances responsible if the charging curve selected was
incorrect and caused irreversible damage to the battery or the high frequency charger.
• Don’t recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• If you are using an extension cord or power strip, make sure that the total of the amperes
required by all equipment on the extension, is less than the extension’s rating.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
• The high frequency charger is not for outdoor use.
