1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS
GENERAL
Battery dischargers can cause injury or death, or damage to other equipment or property, if the user
does not strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions.
Safe practices must be learned through study and training before using this equipment.
Only qualified personnel should install, use, or service this battery discharger.
SHOCK PREVENTION
Bare conductors, or terminals in the output circuit, or ungrounded, electrically-live equipments can
fatally shock a person. To protect against shock, have competent electrician verify that the equipment is
adequately grounded and learn what terminals and parts are electrically HOT.
The body’s electrical resistance is decreased when wet, permitting dangerous current to flow through the
body. Do not work in damp area without being extremely careful. Stand on dry rubber mat or dry wood
and use insulating gloves when dampness or sweat cannot be avoided. Keep clothing dry.
INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING – Electrical equipment must be installed and mantained in
accordance with all the applicable national and local codes.
A power disconnect switch must be located at the equipment. Check the data label for voltage and phase
requirements. If only 3-phase power is available, connect single-phase equipment to ONLY TWO
WIRES of the 3-phase line.
DO NOT CONNECT the equipment grounding conductor to the third live wire of the 3-phase line as this
makes the equipment frame electrically HOT, which can cause a fatal shock.
If a grounding conductor is part of the power supply cable, be sure to connect it to a properly grounded
switch box or building ground. If not part of the supply cable, use a separate grounding conductor. Don’t
remove a ground prong from any plug. Use correct mating receptacles. Check ground for electrical
continuity before using equipment.
The grounding conductor must be of a size equal to or larger than the size recommended by Code or this
manual.
CHARGING LEADS – Inspect leads often for damage to the insulation. Replace or repair cracked or
worn leads immediately. Use leads having sufficient capacity to carry the operating current without
overheating.
BATTERY TERMINALS – Do not touch battery terminals while equipment is operating.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE – Shut OFF all power at the disconnect switch or line breaker
BEFORE inspecting, adjusting, or servicing the equipment. Lock switch OPEN (or remove line fuses) so
that the power cannot be turned ON accidentally.
Disconnect power to equipment if it is to be left unattended or out of service.
Disconnect battery from discharger.
Measure voltage on capacitors and, if there is any voltage reading, wait 5 minutes before to proceed.
Keep inside parts clean and dry. Dirt and/or moisture can cause insulation failure. This failure can result
in high voltage at the discharger output.
