STAR 70 - STAR 80 - STAR 90 - STAR 100 - STAR 110 - STAR 120 - STAR 140
1) USE AND OPERATION
GB
In order to use the battery charger, safety norms contained in laws and regulations and provisions issued
by local authorities must be complied with.
"User" obligations : as per these operating instructions, the "user" is any natural or legal person who
directly uses STAR charging devices or whomsoever uses them on behalf of the aforementioned person.
Under special circumstances, for example, leasing, rental, the "user" is the person who, as per the
agreements stipulated between the owner and the user of the STAR charging devices, assumes the
following obligations.
The "user" shall be responsible for the installation site of the device. He shall check whether particularly
sensitive equipment is disturbed by the influence of the battery charger. The installation site shall be
chosen so that usage (a high direct current produces magnetic interference) does not affect the operation
of electromagnetic devices and magnetic data carriers (for example pace makers, monitors, magnetic
disks and diskettes, magnetic tapes, watches etc.).
The "user" shall ensure that the use of STAR charging devices complies with regulations in force and that
any action which could endanger the life and health of the user or of third parties is prevented, as well as
the prevention of damage to property.
The "user" shall ensure that users and operators have read and understood these instructions and that
they comply with accident-prevention rules, technical safety rules, and use and maintenance directives.

2) INSTALLATION AND SAFETY WARNINGS

Before connecting the battery charger to the mains and to the battery, READ THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY:
 IN ORDER FOR THE BATTERY CHARGER TO OPERATE CORRECTLY AND PERFORM AT ITS
BEST IT MUST BE INSTALLED ON A WALL THE RIGHT WAY AND FIXED WITH RAWLPLUGS USING
THE LOOPS PROVIDED; ENSURE THE VENTILATION SLITS ARE NOT OBSTRUCTED.
 Only specialised, authorised personnel shall be allowed to carry out work requiring the battery charger
to be opened.
 Before starting-up the battery charger check insulation on the mains cable and battery connection
connectors.
 Only skilled personnel should intervene on electrical equipment.
 Disconnect from mains before connecting or disconnecting the battery.
 WARNING !! Charging batteries produce explosive gas, it is therefore strictly forbidden to smoke in the
vicinity; naked flames and/or sparks and proximity to other equipment which could endanger people or
property are to be prevented.
 This battery charger contains electrical components which can produce voltaic arcs and sparks, therefore
if it is used in confined spaces, it must be installed in a suitable location; in any case the standard battery
charger (IP 20) must be used indoors, in well-ventilated spaces, which are not exposed to rain and/or
water splashes and be positioned on solid, level flooring, in particular dusty areas or areas where water,
heat and humidity originate are to be avoided. Furthermore, the battery charger must not be positioned on
support structures and/or shelves made of wood or other flammable material, materials must not be stocked
in the vicinity of the battery charger and no kind of object or container for liquids must be placed on the
cover.
 In order to prevent risk of electrocution, the battery charger must be connected to an earthed
socket, furthermore the socket which the battery charger is connected to must be proportionate in power
to the charger and be protected by an appropriate compliant electrical device (fuse or automatic cut-out
switch). In order to obtain sufficient selectivity, the protection must have a calibration at least 10% higher
than the power absorption of the device, furthermore the device must be protected from excessive high
contact voltage in compliance with Local Authority provisions.
 We recommend using appropriate bipolar connectors.
 The use of extension leads to lengthen existing electrical connections must be avoided at all costs.
 The STAR charging device needs no special maintenance, apart from regular cleaning procedures, to
be carried out periodically according to the type of working environment. Before starting to clean the
device, the mains supply cable and battery cables must be unplugged.
