Proper use also includes:
- Carefully reading and following all Operating Instructions, safety and danger notices
- Performing all stipulated inspection and servicing work
- Following all instructions from the battery and vehicle manufacturers
Proper handling of the device is essential for it to function correctly. Never pull on the
cable when handling the device.
Environmental
conditions
Operation or storage of the device outside the stipulated area will be deemed as not in
accordance with the intended purpose. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any
damage resulting from improper use.
Mains connection Devices with a higher rating may affect the energy quality of the mains due to their cur-
rent consumption.
This may affect a number device types in terms of:
- Connection restrictions
-
Criteria with regard to the maximum permissible mains impedance
*)
-
Criteria with regard to the minimum short-circuit power requirement
*)
*)
at the interface with the public grid
see "Technical data"
In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check whether the
device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the matter with the power
supply company.
IMPORTANT! Ensure that the mains connection is earthed properly
Dangers from
mains current
and charging cur-
rent
Anyone working with battery chargers exposes themselves to numerous dangers, e.g.:
- Risk of electrocution from mains current and charging current.
- Hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can risk the lives of those using cardiac
pacemakers.
An electric shock can be fatal. Every electric shock is potentially life threatening. To avoid
electric shocks while using the charger:
- Do not touch any live parts inside or on the outside of the charger.
- Under no circumstances touch the battery poles.
- Do not short-circuit the charging cable or charging terminals.
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately dimensio-
ned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately dimensioned cables and
leads must be immediately repaired by authorised personnel.
Danger due to
acid, gases and
vapours
Batteries contain acid which is harmful to the eyes and skin. During charging, gases and
vapours are released that may be harmful to health and are highly explosive in certain
circumstances.
Only use the charger in well-ventilated areas to prevent the accumulation of explosive
gases. Battery rooms are not deemed to be hazardous areas provided that a concentra-
tion of hydrogen of less than 4% can be guaranteed by the use of natural or forced venti-
lation.
