Safety Information

WARNING:
The electrical voltage and current used in battery testing is potentially lethal, please be

cautious and follow all safety standards.
Ensure that AC power supply is isolated and any battery being tested is disconnected

before attempting to clean or perform maintenance on the unit.
If equipped with circuit breaker(s), do not connect or disconnect any of the cables

unless the breakers are in the off position. This could cause damage to the unit or
battery system or create an arc flash.
Do not touch conducting parts of the load cables or the voltage cables when they are

connected to the load OR battery banks.
Always place the load bank as far away from the batteries as possible.

Excessive discharge on a battery can cause severe damage to it and in rare

circumstances explode or overheat (thermal runaway). Always follow rated discharge
specifications. This are best acquired from the battery manufacturer.
Charging and discharging batteries causes hydrogen gas release. Always have

adequate ventilation in place. Installing HGD-2000 hydrogen gas detectors also
increases employee and building safety warning alarms.
If you see any sparks from your batteries, testing cables, or the load bank body,

shutdown the unit immediately and disconnect all cables for further inspection.
General Equipment Precautions:
To avoid frequency interference, do not run two SLB-Series units in the same location

within 100 meters if it is not in parallel connection.
Before testing, be sure that the nominal voltage range on the load bank matches that

of the battery string being tested.
Use only the insulated load cables that come with the load bank.

Be sure that the mains voltage and frequency fit the local AC power supply. Do not

apply the unit to voltages that are above the rated mains of the unit.
