•
Do not short-circuit the contacts of the battery pack. Short circuits result in extremely high currents, which can cause damage to
the battery pack and/or the device.
•
Do not carry out the charging process in rooms where moisture may affect the battery pack.
•
Carry out the charging process with the wheelchair in a location that has at least twice the space required by the wheelchair itself and
that provides sufficient ventilation, in order to avoid the danger of flammable gas accumulating.
•
Never charge the battery pack at temperatures under 0 °C or over 40 °C.
•
The battery pack of your e-fix can be charged/discharged in any position. It should be charged after every trip if possible. The
automatic charging system prevents the battery pack being overcharged. If the e-fix is not used for a longer period of time (more
than one day) the charger should not remain on the e-fix the whole time. Disconnect the charger from the mains socket first
before disconnecting it from the battery pack.
•
At the end of its service life, return the battery pack to Alber or Alber specialist dealers for proper disposal.
4.8 Safety instructions for the charger and the charging process
•
To charge the battery pack, you must only use the charger BC3615LA (output voltage 36VDC). A different charger must not be used
under any circumstances.
•
Switch off the system before starting the charging process. If the battery pack is being charged directly on the wheelchair, the wheel-
chair should be secured using its parking brakes to prevent it inadvertently rolling away.
•
Only use the charger supplied by Alber to charge the battery pack. The charging process ends automatically when the battery pack is
fully charged. As such, overcharging is impossible.
•
Never user any charger other than the one supplied by Alber.
•
The battery pack should be charged after every trip if possible. The automatic charging system prevents the battery pack being over-
charged. If the e-fix is not used for a longer period of time (more than one day) the charger should not remain on the e-fix the whole
time. Disconnect the charger from the mains socket first before disconnecting it from the battery pack.
•
Do not charge any other batteries with the charger. Only charge the e-fix battery pack.
•
Do not expose the charger to moisture of any kind (water, rain water, snow, etc.) during charging.
•
Be aware of condensation. If the charger is brought from a cold area into a warm room, condensation may occur on and in the device.
In this case, refrain from using the charger until all condensation has dissipated. Please note that this may take several hours.
•
Never carry out the charging process in rooms where moisture may affect the charger.
•
Never carry the charger by its power cable or the charger cables.
•
Never tug at the power cable to disconnect the charger from the mains socket.
•
Lay the mains cable and charger cable so that no-one can tread on them or trip over them. Do not expose the two cables to any other
harmful influences or stresses.
•
Do not operate the charger if the power cable, the charger cable or the plugs attached to the cables are damaged. Damaged parts must
be replaced immediately by a specialist dealer that has been authorised by Alber.
•
Do not use or disassemble the charger if it has received a hard blow or was dropped or damaged in some other way. Take the damaged
charger to a specialist dealer that has been authorised by Alber to perform repairs.
•
The charger must not be used by young children.
•
The charger is designed to operate only with mains alternating voltage of 100 V to 240 V.
•
Never attempt to dismantle or modify the charger.
•
Do not cover the charger during the charging process or place any objects on top of the device.
•
Never subject the cable or plug to any pressure. Overstretching or bending the cable, pinching cables between a wall and a window
frame or placing heavy objects on a cable or a plug may result in electric shock or fire.
•
Never connect the two terminals of the charger cable to any metal objects.
•
Ensure that the mains plug is firmly inserted in the socket.
•
Do not touch the mains plug or the charger cable plug with wet hands.
•
Do not use the plug of the charger and/or the mains plug if they are wet or dirty. Before plugging them in, clean the plugs using
a dry cloth.
•
Once the charging process is complete, first disconnect the charger plug from the socket and then disconnect the charging plug from
the socket on the battery pack.
•
Ensure that no moisture can get into the sockets [29] on the battery after disconnecting the charger.
The charger BC3615LA (output voltage 36VDC) may only be used to charge the battery packs of the e-fix eco and
the Esprit. Under no circumstances may other batteries be charged with the charger, especially the batteries of
the Alber e-fix E25. These batteries have a voltage of 24 volts; however, the charger BC3615LA has a voltage of
36 volts.
