Before installing your Delta-Q Technologies battery, please review and follow these safety guidelines. HIGH vOLTAGE SAfETy WARNING: This product produces hazardous output voltages under nor mal oper ation. E xercise extreme care when working with the equipment and the batteries.
ELEcTRIcAL SAfETy INfORMATION DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Connect charger power cord to an AC outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. A grounded AC outlet is required to reduce the risk of electric shock—do not use ground adapters or modify the plug.
BATTERy SAfETy INfORMATION WARNING: Only use the charger with a charging profile that is appropriate to the specific battery type. Other usage may cause personal injury and damage. Lead acid batteries may generate explosive hydrogen gas during normal charging. Keep sparks, flames, and smoking materials away from batteries.
INSTALLATION SAfETy INfORMATION DANGER: Charger outputs and battery voltages pose an energy and/or shock hazard under normal use. These units must be installed in the host equipment in such a manner that the output cable and battery connections are only accessible with the use of a tool by qualified personnel.
See Mounting Instructions for more options. The QuiQ Series charger case is an IP66 enclosure. It is well protected against fine dust (IEC60529 IP6x), and capable of operation in heavy seas, temporary flooding, and heavy water streams (IEC60529 IPx6).
MOUNTING INSTRUcTIONS Mount the charger by the mounting plate using appropriate fasteners (i.e., locking ¼” or M6 bolts), and all of the mounting slots provided. If mounting in an enclosed area, test the charger and monitor it for reduced power operation. If mounting the charger vertically, there are two considerations: charger performance and charger life.
