WARNING
Avoid hazardous practices! If you use this
instrument in any way not specified in this
manual, the protection provided by the
instrument may be impaired.
AVERTISSEMENT
Éviter les usages périlleux! Si vous utilisez cet
instrument d'une manière autre que celles qui sont
specifiées dans ce manuel, la protection
fournie de l'instrument peut être affaiblie; cela
augmentera votre risque de blessure.
CAUTION
Never charge any battery inside a sealed container or
enclosure. Charging may release gases from the electrolyte.
These gases can generate dangerous pressure as they try to
escape confinement from the cells or enclosure. The gases
may be explosive and they can also be irritating to smell.
All rechargeable batteries, whether nickel-cadmium or lead-
acid, have one-way safety vents that open to relieve internal
pressure generated by overcharging or very heavy
discharge. Their purpose is to keep the battery from bursting,
catching fire, or even exploding.
These vents do not open during normal operation. If they do
open, it indicates battery abuse. Venting shortens battery life
by depleting irreplaceable electrolyte. Avoid causing any of
the conditions that can make this happen.
CAUTION
Do not test batteries for charge by "sparking" the output, and
be extremely careful putting meter probes inside the out-put
connector. Any accidents resulting in a shorted output will
damage the battery in less than three seconds.
CAUTION
If you intend to use any power source other than an Isco
battery or power converter, be sure of proper voltage and
polarity before connecting power to the equipment.
Never attach equipment to a power source of unknown
polarity or voltage. Never attach equipment directly to an AC
power source under any circumstances, regardless of
voltage.
Note
This product is often installed in confined spaces.
Some examples of confined spaces are manholes,
pipelines, digesters, and storage tanks. These spaces
may become hazardous environments that can prove
fatal for those unprepared. These spaces are governed
by OSHA 1910.146 and require a permit before
entering.
