Important Safety Instructions

•  Servicing of batteries should be performed, or supervised, by personnel knowledgeable about    

batteries, and the proper safety precautions. 

•   Be very careful when working with large lead-acid batteries. Wear eye protection and have fresh 

water  available in case there is contact with the battery acid.

•  

Remove watches, rings, jewelry and other metal objects before working with batteries.

•  Wear rubber gloves and boots

 

 Use tools with insulated handles and avoid placing tools or metal objects on top of batteries.

•  Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or dis-connecting battery terminals.

•  Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded.  If so, remove the source of contact with ground.  

Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock.  The likelihood of such 
a shock can be reduced if battery grounds are removed during installation and maint enance    
(applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply circuit).

•  

Carefully read the battery manufacturer’s instructions before installing / connecting to, or removing 
batteries from, the TriStar MPPT.

•  

Be very careful not to short circuit the cables connected to the battery. 

•  

Have someone nearby to assist in case of an accident.

•  

Explosive battery gases can be present during charging. Be certain there is enough ventilation to 
release the gases.

•  

Never smoke in the battery area.

•   If battery acid comes into contact with the skin, wash with soap and water. If the acid contacts the 

eye, flood with fresh water and get medical attention.

•  

Be sure the battery electrolyte level is correct before starting charging. Do not attempt to charge a frozen 
battery. 

•  

Recycle the battery when it is replaced.

•  Entretien des batteries devrait être effectué ou supervisé, par un personnel bien informé sur les 

piles et les précautions de sécurité appropriées.

•  Soyez très prudent quand vous travaillez avec des grandes batteries au plomb. Portez des lunettes 

de protection et ayez de l’eau fraîche à disposition en cas de contact avec l’électrolyte.

•   Enlevez les montres, bagues, bijoux et autres objets mé talliques avant de travailler avec des piles.

•  Porter des bottes et des gants de caoutchouc 

•   Utiliser des outils avec poignées isolantes et évitez de placer des outils ou des objets métalliques 

sur le dessus de batteries.

•  Débrancher la source de charge avant de brancher ou dis-reliant les bornes de la batterie.

•  Utilisez des outils isolés et évitez de placer des objets métalliques dans la zone de travail.

• 

Déterminer si batterie repose par inadvertance. Dans l’affirmative, supprimer la source du contact 

avec le sol. Contact avec n’importe quelle partie d’une batterie mise à la terre peut entraîner un 
choc électrique. La probabilité d’un tel choc peut être réduite si des motifs de batterie sont suppri-
més pendant l’installation et maintentretien (applicable à l’équipement et les fournitures de pile de 
la télécommande n’ayant ne pas un circuit d’alimentation mise à la terre *).

•  Lisez attentivement les instructions du fabricant de la batterie avant d’installer / connexion à ou 

retrait des batteries du TriStar MPPT.

•  Veillez à ne pas court-circuiter les câbles connectés à la batterie.

•   Ayez une personne à proximité qui puisse aider en cas d’accident.

•  Des gaz explosifs de batterie peuvent être présents pendant la charge. Assurez-vous qu’une venti-

lation suffisante évacue les gaz.

•  Ne fumez jamais dans la zone des batteries

•  En cas de contact de l’électrolyte avec la peau, lavez avec du savon et de l’eau.  En cas de contact 

de l’électrolyte avec les yeux, rincez abondamment avec de l’eau fraîche et consultez un médecin.

•  Assurez-vous que le niveau d’électrolyte de la batterie est correct avant de commencer la charge. 

Ne tentez pas de charger une batterie gelée.

•  Recyclez la batterie quand elle est remplacée.
