Interruption or restart of the charging process:
Due to power failure or unit switch OFF.
In case of frequent interruptions, particularly before reaching the full charge ("Battery Full" is lighting
permanently
),
a complete charging cycle of 24 hours
of the battery should be executed more often
(compensation charging).
Lifetime of the battery:
Keep batteries cool; choose an appropriate location for installation.
Open acid batteries („maintenance-free according to EN / DIN“): Check the acid level
periodically!
Batteries being totally discharged should be recharged immediately, partially discharged
batteries should be recharged fully as soon as possible to avoid sulphation!
Store only fully charged batteries and recharge them periodically
, particularly in case of
older, used batteries and in case of higher temperatures! If the grade of sulphation is not too
intensive, the battery can recover part of the battery capacity after several charging/discharging
cycles.
Safety Regulations:
Appropriate Application:
The battery charger has been designed according to the valid safety regulations.
Appropriate application is restricted to:
1.
Charging of lead-acid, lead-gel or lead-AGM batteries of the indicated nominal voltage and the
supply of the consumers being connected to these batteries in fixed installed systems with the
indicated battery capacities and charging programs.
2.
Mains connection to a fused shockproof socket (6-16 A) and depending on local regulations being
protected by a fault current breaker (RCD, FI) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA.
3.
Observe the indicated cable cross-sections at the charger outputs.
4.
A fuse of the indicated capacity is to be provided near the battery to protect the cabling between
battery and charger port.
5.
Technically faultless condition.
6.
Installation in a well-ventilated room, protected from rain, humidity, dust, aggressive battery
gas, as well as in an environment being free from condensation water.
Never use the unit at locations where the risk of gas or dust explosion exists!
Open-air operation of the unit is not allowed.
Cables are always to be laid in such a way that damage is excluded. Observe to fasten them tightly.
Never lay 12V (24V) cables and 230V mains supply cables into the same cable conduit (empty conduit).
Check live cables or leads periodically for insulation faults, points of break or loosened connections.
Occurring defects must be remedied immediately.
The unit is to be disconnected from any connection prior to execution of electrically welding or work on
the electric system.
If the non-commercial end-user is not able to recognize the characteristic values being valid for a unit or
the regulations to be observed, a specialist is always to be consulted.
The user/buyer is obliged to observe any construction and safety regulations.
The unit does not contain any parts, which can be replaced by the user
. Even after withdrawal of the
mains plug, the unit could have
dangerous high voltages
for an extended period (particularly in case of
failure).
Keep children away from the charger and the batteries.
Observe the safety regulations of the battery manufacturer.
Venting the battery room.
Non-observance may result in injury or material damage.
The warranty period is 24 months from the purchase date (against presentation of the sales slip or invoice).
The warranty will be void in case of any inappropriate utilisation of the unit, if it is used beyond the
technical specification, in case of improper operation or external intervention. We do not assume any
liability for any damage resulting hereof. The liability exclusion is extended to any service being executed
by third, which has not been ordered by us in writing. Service is to be effected exclusively by
VOTRONIC Lauterbach.
