Safety Instructions

1.5  CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ - GÉNÉRALES

 

1.5.1 Installation et Conformité du Câblage 

•   L’installation et le câblage doivent conformer aux Normes Électriques Locales et 

Nationales; l’installation doit être faite par un(e) électricien(ne) CERTIFIÉ(E). 

1.5.2 Prévention des Décharges Électriques 

•   Connectez toujours la connexion de terre de l'appareil au système de terre approprié. 
•   Seulement une personne qualifiée devrait réparer ou désassembler cet appareil. 
•   Débranchez tous les raccordements latéraux d'entrée et de sortie avant de travailler 

sur n'importe quel circuit associé au contrôleur de charge. Même si l'interrupteur 
«ON/ OFF» est dans la position «off», il pourrait rester des tensions dangereuses. 

•   Faites attention de ne pas toucher les bornes nues des condensateurs. Elles 

pourraient retenir des tensions mortelles, même quand une puissance a été 
enlevée. Déchargez les condensateurs avant de travailler sur les circuits. 

1.5.3 Lieu d'Installation 

•   Il faut situer l'onduleur à l'intérieur dans un endroit bien frais, sec, et ventilé. 
•   Ne pas exposez à l'humidité, la pluie, la neige ou à toutes liquides. 
•   Afin de réduire les risques de la surchauffe ou d'un incendie, ne bloquez pas les 

ouvertures d'admission et d'échappement pour les ventilateurs de refroidissement. 

•   Pour assurer une bonne ventilation, n'installez pas l'appareil dans un comparti-

ment avec peu d’espace.

1.5.4 Prévention des Risques d’Incendie et d'Explosion 

•   L'utilisation de l'appareil pourrait produire des arcs électriques ou des étincelles. 

Par conséquent, il ne devrait pas être utilisé dans les endroits où il y a des maté-
riaux ou gaz nécessitant des équipements ignifuges, par exemple, des espaces 
contenant des machines alimentées par essence, des réservoirs d'essence ou, des 
compartiments à batterie. 

1.5.5 Précautions à Prendre en Travaillant avec des Batteries

•   Les batteries contiennent de l’acide sulfurique, électrolyte corrosif. Certains 

précautions doivent être prises afin d’empêcher tout contact avec la peau, les 
yeux ou les vêtements. 

•   Lorsque les batteries sont rechargées, elle produisent de l'oxygène et de 

l'hydrogène, ceci émet un mélange de gaz explosif. Ventilez à fond la zone 
de la batterie et, suivez les recommandations du fabricant pour l'emploi de la 
batterie. 

•  Ne jamais fumer ni mettre une flamme à proximité des batteries. 
•   Soyez prudent, réduisez toute risque de chute d'objets métalliques sur la bat-

terie, ce qui pourrait provoquer des étincelles, ou court-circuiter la batterie et 
les autres pièces électriques, et causer une explosion. 

•   Retirez tous vos objets métalliques: bagues, bracelets, montres, etc. lorsque vous 

travaillez avec les batteries. Les batteries pourraient produire un court-circuit 
assez puissant pour souder des objets causant une brûlure grave. 

•   Si vous devez enlever la batterie, retirez toujours la borne négative (de terre) de 

la batterie en premier. Assurez que tous les accessoires soient éteints, pour ne 
pas provoquer des étincelles.
