Safety rules General The device is manufactured using state-of-the-art technology and according to recognised safety standards. If used incorrectly or misused, however, it can cause: Injury or death to the operator or a third party Damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operator Inefficient operation of the device All persons involved in commissioning, operating, maintaining and servicing the device must:...
at the interface with the public grid see "Technical data" In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check whether the device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the matter with the power sup- ply company.
Protecting your- While the charger is in operation, keep all persons, especially children, out of the working self and others area. If, however, there are people in the vicinity, warn them about all the dangers (hazardous acids and gases, danger from mains and charging current, etc.), provide suitable protective equipment.
Maintenance and Under normal operating conditions, the device requires only a minimum of care and main- repair tenance. However, it is vital to observe some important points to ensure it remains in a us- able condition for many years. Before switching on, always check the mains plug and cable as well as charger leads and charging terminals for any signs of damage.

Options Safety In order to connect optional components, it may be necessary to open the housing. The following warning notices must be obeyed: WARNING! Danger from electric shocks. This can result in serious injuries or death. ► The housing must never be opened by anyone other than a service technician trained by the manufacturer.

NOTE! Danger due to non-observance of the permissible mains voltage tolerance. This can cause malfunctions and damage. ► For the electrolyte circulation option, a restricted mains voltage tolerance vis-à-vis the charger of +/-10 V applies. The electrolyte circulation option introduces air into the battery through capillary tubes that are provided specifically for this purpose.
mm (in.) 464 (18.27) 110 (4.33) External start/ The external start/stop option prevents sparking if the charging plug is disconnected during stop charging. Dedicated auxiliary contacts inside the plug detect the removal of a shorting jumper in the counterpart before the main contacts have even become separated. This trig- gers an immediate stop to charging.
Air filter In dusty environments, the air filter prevents the inside of the device from becoming dirty. This avoids a possible reduction in power and other problems. NOTE! Danger from using the air filter with unsuitable chargers. This can result in damage to property. ►...
