● Never attempt to charge a damaged battery.
● Wear protective goggles and turn your face away when connecting or disconnecting the battery.
● Never place the charger on top of a battery .
● Never smoke, use an open flame, or create sparks near battery or charger during normal charging operation as batteries may give
out explosive gas.
● Do not charge batteries in an enclosure (box- in) due to possible explosion of entrapped explosive gas.
● Disconnect the mains supply before connecting or disconnecting the links to the battery.
● If the charger does not work properly or if it has been damaged ,unplug its AC and DC connection.
CAUTIONS :
● Refer to battery manufacturer's specific recommended values for battery type settings and float voltage setting.
● Fix the charger to a stable surface using the holes at the flange.
● Ensure all ventilation ports are not obstructed for efficient fan cooling, keep loose soft material or paper off at the bottom of the
charger.
● If longer output charging cord is required, make sure the diameter is adequate for the current in given cable length.
● When charging in Calcium mode disconnect the load from the battery as high charging voltage (31V) may cause damage to
connected equipment.
