With mains plug
If the mains plug is used as the isolator, it must be easily accessible.
With fixed installation
For fixed connected chargers, an easily accessible isolator must be
installed outside the device.
External isolating devices are not included in the scope of delivery. These
must be provided by the operator.
8.3 Initial start-up and function test
The charger may only be used in a technically perfect condition and in accordance with
its intended use in a safety-conscious and danger-conscious way, paying attention to
these operating instructions. It is particularly important that safety-related faults are
remedied immediately.
The information on the type plate concerning the permissible machine voltage must be
checked before connecting the charging cable and complied with. It must be ensured that
the charging cables and the machine are connected with the correct polarity. (This is
determined by the charging plug)
If safety-related modifications are made to the charger or changes in operating behaviour
are observed, the charger must be taken out of service immediately and the fault reported
to the responsible area.
If problems occur in the electrical power supply, shut off the charger immediately.
Once the charger has been properly set up and installed, it must undergo an initial start-
up to perform a function test. Proceed as described in the following chapter.
