General informa-
tion on working
with batteries
- Protect batteries from dirt and mechanical damage.
- Store charged batteries in cool rooms. The lowest self discharge occurs at approx.
+2°C (35.6°F).
- Refer to the specifications of the battery manufacturer or conduct weekly visual in-
spections to ensure that the battery is filled with acid (electrolyte) up to the maximum
marking.
- Do not start operating the device, or immediately stop operation, and have the bat-
tery inspected by an authorized specialist if:
- the acid level is uneven or there is high water consumption in individual cells
caused by a possible defect
- the battery heats up to an impermissible level, above 55°C (131°F)
Personal Protec-
tion and Protec-
tion of Others
Keep persons, especially children, away from the device and working area during opera-
tion. If persons are in the vicinity, however:
- inform them of any dangers (hazardous acids and gases, risk due to grid and char-
ging current, etc.)
- provide suitable protective equipment
Before leaving the working area, ensure that no personal injury or property damage can
occur in your absence.
Safety Measures
in Normal Opera-
tion
Operate devices with ground conductors only on a grid with a ground conductor and a
socket with a ground conductor contact. Operating the device on a grid without a ground
conductor or on a socket without a ground conductor contact is considered gross negli-
gence. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage resulting from improper use.
Only operate the device in accordance with the degree of protection shown on the rating
plate.
Never commission the device if it is damaged.
Have the grid and device supply lead regularly inspected by an electrician to ensure that
the ground conductor is functioning properly.
Safety devices that are not fully functional and components with defects must be re-
paired by an authorized specialist before the device is turned on.
Never bypass or disable protection devices.
A freely accessible mains plug is required after installation.
EMC device clas-
sifications
Devices in emission class A:
- Are only designed for use in industrial areas
- Can cause wiring-related or radiated interference in other areas.
Devices in emission class B:
- Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas. This is also true for
residential areas in which the energy is supplied from the public low-voltage grid.
