Battery Charger

General Safety

The charger may only be used for the specified battery types.

This battery charger is supplied with pre-set charging curves

that are adapted for the battery types listed in figure 1.

Always contact the battery manufacturer to verify that the

charging curve is appropriate.

Hydrogen gas is generated when charging batteries, which

can cause an explosion.

During and immediately after charging, batteries may not be

placed in the vicinity of sparks or open flame.

Do not use the battery charger if it is damaged. Do not

touch damaged components. Turn off the input AC voltage

immediately and contact service personnel.

The battery charger has high voltage inside the charger case

that can cause personal injury or death. The metal casing

may only be opened by authorized service personnel.

Disconnect the battery and input AC power before carrying

out maintenance or cleaning the battery charger.

The Battery charger must be connected to an earth

grounded AC input source.

Batteries should only be charged in a well ventilated area.

Installation

Initial Installation

The AC input source to which the charger is to be connected must be

capable of supplying the current specified on the charger nameplate.

Avoid the use of extension cords with the charger. The use of an

improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Locate the charger cord such that it will not be stepped on, tripped over

or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

Do not operate this charger if it has been dropped or is visibly damaged

in any manner; return to manufacturer for service.

The battery charger should be installed indoors in a low humidity and

low dust/airborne particle environment.

If several battery chargers are to be installed next to each other, they

may not be located so that warm exhaust air from one battery charger

blows into the air intake of another battery charger.

Install the battery charger so that gasses from charging battery do not

get sucked in by the battery charger fan.

The battery charger may be mounted horizontally, or suspended on a

wall with the accompanying bracket. When mounted on a wall the

charger should be placed horizontally to prevent the effects of moisture

and dirt. This charger is not intended to be mounted on mobile

equipment.
