WIRING

The connection of the VarioString charger is an important step of the installation.
It may only be carried out by qualified personnel, aware of the rules and regulations in force.
The installation must always comply with these standards. The cross-sections of the cables
connected to its terminals must comply with local regulations. All cables in use should be
isolated with PVC, TFE, PTFE, FEP, neoprene or polyimide.
Make sure that connections are completely tightened and that each wire is connected at
the right place.
The VarioString is intended to be connected exclusively to a source like a photovoltaic
generator, excluding any other energy source.
It is suitable for charging any type of lead-acid batteries. It is often possible to charge any
other type of battery using proper settings and with the express approval of the battery
supplier.
The connection compartment of the VarioString must remain permanently closed while the
apparatus is operating.
Before opening, check that all voltage sources (battery and PV) have been disconnected
or switched off and wait for at least 5 minutes before opening the equipment. It is imperative
to close the protection cover on the connection terminals after each servicing.
