Installation and safety instructions
The ZIVAN battery discharger has been designed to provide safety and reliability. It is necessary to
observe the following precautions in order to avoid damage to persons and to the discharger:
• Read the installation instructions contained in this Manual carefully. For future reference, put the
Manual in an accessible place.
• Fix the discharger to a stable and flat surface. In case of installation on an elevated surface, it is
recommended to check carefully that the discharger is securely placed.
• Ensure all ventilation ports are not obstructed, to avoid the overheating. Do not put the discharger
near heat sources. Make sure that free space around the discharger is sufficient to provide adequate
ventilation.
• Ensure that no flammable materials are stored in the area surrounding the charger.
• Protect the discharger from water infiltration. Do not pour liquids inside the case.
• Verify that the available supply voltage corresponds to the voltage that is stated on the discharger
name plate. In case of doubt, consult a retailer or local Electric Supply Authority.
• For safety and electromagnetic compatibility, the discharger has a 3-prong plug as a safety feature,
and it will only fit into a grounded outlet. If you can not plug it in, chances are you have an older,
ungrounded outlet; contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat
the grounding.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put anything on it or place it where it will be walked on. If
the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
• Verify that the nominal voltage of the battery to be discharged is lower or equal to the voltage stated
on the discharger name plate.
• Do not lengthen the supplying cables, because it would cause some mistake of voltage reading
appearing on the display. If it is necessary lengthen the cable by minimum length pieces and with a
suitable gauge as to minimize the additional voltage drop (for compensation settings, the instructions
contained in this manual).
• Do not try to service the discharger yourself. Opening the cover may expose you to shocks or other
hazards.
• If the discharger does not work correctly or if it has been damaged, unplugged it immediately from the
supply socket and from the battery socket and contact a retailer.
To be noted: The shown drawings in this manual correspond to the 80V-150A model.
