2 SAFETY GUIDELINES & MEASURES
USE FOR INTENDED PURPOSE
The battery charger is contructed as per the applicable
safety-technical guidelines. Use the battery charger only:
• for the charging of lead acid batteries and the supply of
users attached to these batteries, in permanent sys-
tems;
• connected to a dedicated double pole circuit breaker
(MCB);
• with a fuse, protecting the wiring between charger out-
put and battery;
• in a technical correct condition;
• in a closed, well-ventilated room, protected against rain,
moist, dust and not condensing circumstances.
Never use the battery charger at locations
where there is danger of gas- or dust explo-
sion!
Use other than as mentioned under 2 is not considered to
be consistent with the intended purpose. Mastervolt is not
liable for any damage resulting from the above.
SAFETY
1 Use only fuses with the prescribed current level:
• AC supply fuse not greater than is required for the
current consumption;
• The charger fuse must be large enough for the ma-
ximal charger current and small enough to protect
the charger‘s output cables.
2 Check the wiring at least once a year. Defects such as
loose connections, burned cables etc. must be correc-
ted immediately.
3 Do not work on the charger or the system if it is still
connected to a current source. Only allow changes in
your electrical system to be caried out by qualified
electricians.
4 Connection and protection must be done in accor-
dance with local standards.
5 Before opening the cabinet of the charger, switch off
the 230V mains and remove the charger fuse.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
If the battery charger is switched off during maintenance
and/or repair activities, it should be secured against unex-
pected and unintentional switching on:
• switch off the AC circuit breaker;
• disconnect the charger;
• switch off the connection with the batteries or remove
the charger fuse;
• be sure that third parties cannot reverse the measures
taken.
If such are required, use only original spare parts.
