Safety
Proper use The charger is designed to charge the batteries listed below. Any other use or use beyond
this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any dam-
age arising from such usage. Proper use includes:
-
complying with all the operating instructions
- regular checking of the mains and charger leads
The following batteries may be charged:
-
Wet batteries:
sealed batteries with a liquid electrolyte (recognisable by the vent plugs) and low-
maintenance/maintenance-free wet batteries (MF)
- Gel batteries:
sealed batteries (VRLA) with immobilised electrolyte (sealant)
- Gel batteries:
sealed batteries (VRLA) with immobilised electrolyte (gel)
Mains connection The rating plate, which is located on the housing, contains information about the permitted
mains voltage. The charger is designed for this mains voltage only. The fuse protection re-
quired for the mains lead can be found in the "Technical data" section. If there is no mains
lead or mains plug on your device, fit one that conforms to national standards.
Safety features -
standard protec-
tive equipment The following safety features are provided as standard with the Active Inverter:
-
Voltage-free and spark-free terminals protect against explosions
- Reverse polarity protection prevents the charger from being damaged or destroyed
- Short-circuit protection provides effective protection for the charger. The fuse does not
need to be replaced in the event of a short circuit
- A charging time monitor provides effective protection against overcharging and de-
struction of the battery
- Due to the high degree of protection, there is a lower rate of contamination in adverse
conditions. This adds to the charger's reliability.
- Overtemperature protection through derating (charging current reduced if the temper-
ature rises above the permitted level)
WARNING! Incorrect operation may result in serious injury or damage. Do not
use the functions described here until you have thoroughly read and understood
the following documents:
-
Operating instructions
- All the operating instructions for the system components, especially the safe-
ty rules
- Battery and vehicle manufacturers' operating instructions and safety rules
WARNING! Charging dry batteries (primary cells) and non-rechargeable batter-
ies can cause serious injury or damage, and is therefore prohibited.
NOTE! Inadequately dimensioned electrical installations can cause serious dam-
age. The mains lead and its fuse must be dimensioned to suit the local power sup-
ply. The technical data shown on the rating plate applies.
