GB
Safety
Only a trained person should operate this
equipment. The input and output voltages used
with this equipment may be high enough to
endanger life, so insulated, shrouded
connectors must be fitted.
Please read this manual completely and convey
instructions to all personnel concerned. Keep
the manual in a safe and convenient place.
It is advisable to thoroughly read the
information on battery safety supplied with the
battery, prior to charging.
Towards the end of charge, lead acid batteries
give off hydrogen gas, which is explosive if in
sufficient concentration, therefore avoid flames
and sparks. Appropriate measures must be
taken to ensure adequate ventilation.
Incorrect use of a charger or maladjustment of
its controls can damage a battery. The
equipment has been factory set and does not
require user adjustment.
This product has been designed, manufactured
and certified to be in conformance with
European Safety and EMC Directives. Testing
has ensured that the battery and charger
combination conform as a system for use in

each respective product variant. The following
notes are for the guidance of the person
installing and using the product.
The charger must be isolated from the input
supply and the battery, before any panels are
