SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety Precautions
7. Lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid which
may cause burns. Do not get in eyes, on skin or
on clothing. In cases of contact with eyes, flush
immediately with clean water for at least 15
minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
8. Only factory-qualified personnel should install,
set up and service this equipment. De-energize all
AC and DC power connections before servicing
the charger.
9. Must be used in conformance with its indicated
level of protection and never come into contact
with water.
10. Must not be installed on surfaces subject to
vibration (near compressors, engines, motors).
11. Must be installed so that the gases from the
battery being charged do not get drawn into the
charger by its fans.
12. The charger is not for outdoor use, only indoor
use.
13. Do not expose the charger to moisture.
Operating conditions should be 32ºF (0ºC) to
113ºF (45ºC); 0 to 70% relative humidity.

Installation

Location
For safe operation, choose a location which
is free of excess moisture, dust, combustible
material, and corrosive fumes. Also, avoid high
temperatures (above 113ºF [45ºC]) or potential
liquid spills on the charger.
Do not obstruct the openings in the charger for air
ventilation.
Follow charger warning label when mounting on or
over a combustible surface.
It is recommended to mount the charger at least
72 cm radial distance away from the closest top
edge of the battery.

14. Do not operate the charger if it has been
dropped, received a sharp impact, or otherwise
damaged in any way.
15. For continued protection and to reduce the risk
of fire, install chargers on a non-combustible
surface.
16. For NexSys iON batteries, use only EnerSys
®
battery packs that include the battery
management system and all necessary
protection for the battery pack integral to the
pack.
17. The DC cables of the charger emit low-power
magnetic fields in their surroundings (<5cm).
People with medical implant devices should
avoid being near charger while charging.
18. Contact one of the company's trained technicians
if any problem is encountered when putting
the charger into operation. It is only designed
to recharge EnerSys Industrial Motive Power
®
lead-acid and NexSys
premises. When the equipment becomes
obsolete, the casings and the other internal
components can be disposed of by specialist
companies. Local legislation takes precedence
over any instructions in this document and must
be scrupulously observed (WEEE 2002/96 EC).
Cabinet Mounting
The charger must be mounted on a wall, stand,
shelf or floor in a vertical position. The minimum
distance between two chargers must be 31 cm.
If wall mounted, make sure that the surface is
free of vibrations and the charger is mounted in a
vertical position; if floor mounted, make sure that
the surfaces are free of vibration, water, humidity.
You must avoid areas where the chargers may be
splashed with water.
The charger must be held by 2 or 4 fixings suitable
for the type of support. The drilling pattern varies
according to the model of charger (please refer to the
technical data sheet).
