Before commissioning

Mains connection

The rating plate, which is located on the housing, contains information about the permitted
mains voltage. The device is designed for this mains voltage only. For details on the re-
quired fuse protection for the mains lead, see the
there is no mains cable or mains plug on your version of the appliance, fit one that con-
forms to national standards.
Generator-pow- The charger is completely generator-compatible, provided the maximum apparent power
ered operation delivered by the generator is at least 2 kVA.
This also applies if the generator in question is an inverter.
Details on the mains voltage tolerance can be found in the
page 70.

Setup regulations

The device is tested to IP 43S protection, meaning:
-
-
Dust
Ensure that metallic dust is not sucked into the system by the fan, when carrying out grind-
ing for example.
Outdoor operation
The device can be set up and operated outdoors in accordance with IP43S degree of pro-
tection. Avoid direct wetting (e.g. from rain).
Space require-
ments
NOTE! An inadequately dimensioned electrical installation can cause serious
damage. The mains lead and its fuse must be dimensioned to suit the local power
supply. The technical data shown on the rating plate applies.
NOTE! The voltage delivered by the generator must never exceed the upper or
lower limits of the mains voltage tolerance range.
WARNING! Toppling or falling devices can cause life-threatening injuries. Place
devices on a solid, level surface so that they remain stable.
protection against penetration by solid foreign bodies with diameters > 1.0 mm (0.04
in.)
protection against direct sprays of water at any angle up to 60° from the vertical, if the
fan does not run.
NOTE! If the charger is installed in a switch cabinet (or a similar sealed area),
then forced-air ventilation must be provided to ensure adequate heat dissipation.
There should be an all-round clearance of 10 cm (3.9 in.) around the charger.
