Unpacking and installation of the charger
•
Remove the entire packaging from the charger.
•
Remove the charger fastening brackets (safety tie) on the pallet.
•
The charger must be lifted from the pallet (possibly with a forklift).
z
The charger must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated location. The charger must not be subjected to acid fumes
rising from the battery. Ensure proper extraction of the charging gases.
z
The charger must not be exposed to rain.
z
Please comply with the relevant instructions for battery charging systems.
•
For wall-mounting, observe the corresponding weight of the charger, see page A.
•
For the size and positioning of the wall-mounting holes, see page A.
Mains connection
•
The charger is connected to the mains with the plug on the power cable.
z
The charger may only be opened by a competent electrician.
z
Select the main fuse as specified in Technical Information page A
z
The charger may be adjusted for AC line variations by an authorized and qualified electrician only.
Battery connection
•
Label the chargers and, using the labeling, allocate to the corresponding forklift or battery.
Explosion hazard!
z
The charger output must match the battery voltage and capacity (Ah).
z
Non-rechargeable batteries must not be charged.
z
Mismatches may be hazardous.
z
A battery may produce excessive amounts of gas (hydrogen formation); boiling and even an explosion may occur.
A specific battery plug must be used to connect the battery. Its size must match the nominal charging current of the charger. We recommend
using a coded charger plug. Connecting a battery to other nominal voltages is thus impossible. Only use plugs that correspond to the
respectively valid standards!
z
Connect the charger plug with the correct polarity to the load line.
z
The charger plug may only be connected and changed by a qualified electrician.
If the polarity is incorrect, the charger's built-in output fuse will blow.
Option : Electrolyte circulation
The charger operates with electrolyte circulation. The correct operation of the pressure monitor must be adjusted to the local situation or
checked. For this purpose, carry out a correct charging once. No pressure error should occur,
LED (5)
flashes. Then the charge must be
operated without the air line connected. Hereby the error indication must come on
LED (5)
flashes (pressure error) after approx. 60 seconds.
If necessary, the pressure switch in the pump must be adjusted to the given local conditions.
Option : Aquamatic
If the Aquamatic function is chosen, a relay is driven for 16 pulses. The relay contact is used to drive a solenoid valve.
Option :
Dialogue between battery and charger (battery identification). The battery-ID is transferred to the charger. The charger adjusts the charging
procedure according to the battery capacity. The stored data are assigned to the charged battery and can be analysed battery specific.
