High Frequency Battery Charger
USE AND OPERATION
In order to use the battery charger, safety norms contained in laws and regulations and provisions issued by local
authorities must be complied with.
User
obligations: as per these operating instructions, the
user
is any natural or legal person who directly uses S.P.E.
ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE charging devices or whomsoever uses them on behalf of the aforementioned person.
Under special circumstances, for example, leasing, rental, the
user
is the person who, as per the agreements
stipulated between the owner and the user of the S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE charging devices, assumes
the following obligations.
The
user
shall be responsible for the installation site of the device. He shall check whether particularly sensitive
equipment is disturbed by the influence of the battery charger. The installation site shall be chosen so that usage (a
high direct current produces magnetic interference) does not affect the operation of electromagnetic devices and
magnetic data carriers (for example pace makers, monitors, magnetic disks and diskettes, magnetic tapes, watches
etc.).
The
user
shall ensure that the use of S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE charging devices complies with
regulations in force and that any action which could endanger the life and health of the user or of third parties is
prevented, as well as the prevention of damage to property.
The
user
shall ensure that users and operators have read and understood these instructions and that they comply
with accident-prevention rules, technical safety rules, and use and maintenance directives
INSTALLATION AND SAFETY WARNINGS
Before connecting the battery charger to the mains and to the battery,
read the following instructions carefully.
•
Only specialised, authorised personnel shall be allowed to carry out work requiring the battery charger to be
opened.
•
Before starting-up the battery charger check insulation on the mains cable and battery connection connectors.
•
Only skilled personnel should intervene on electrical equipment.
•
Disconnect from mains before connecting or disconnecting the battery.
•
The rating label must be visible after installation.
•
CHILDREN: The battery charger must not be used by children. The battery charger is not a toy and not be
treated as such. Children being supervised not to play with the appliance.
•
The appliance is not to be used by persons with reduced physical, sensor or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
•
WARNING !!
Charging batteries produce explosive gas, it is therefore strictly forbidden to smoke in the vicinity;
naked flames and/or sparks and proximity to other equipment which could endanger people or property are to be
prevented.
•
This battery charger contains electrical components which can produce voltaic arcs and sparks, therefore if it is
used in confined spaces, it must be installed in a suitable location; in any case the standard battery charger (IP
20) must be used indoors, in well-ventilated spaces, which are not exposed to rain and/or water splashes and be
positioned on solid, level flooring, in particular dusty areas or areas where water, heat and humidity originate are
to be avoided. Furthermore, the battery charger must not be positioned on support structures and/or shelves
made of wood or other flammable material, materials must not be stocked in the vicinity of the battery charger
and no kind of object or container for liquids must be placed on the cover. Batteries must be charged in specific,
well-ventilated areas.
•
In order to reduce the risk of injury only charge Lead - Acid, GEL, AGM types, Lithium Polymer or Lithium Ion
batteries. Do not charge other types of rechargeable or non - rechargeable batteries as they could explode
causing damage and / or injury.
•
In order to prevent risk of electrocution, the battery charger
must be connected to an earthed socket
,
furthermore the socket which the battery charger is connected to must be proportionate in power to the charger
and be protected by an appropriate compliant electrical device (fuse or automatic cut-out switch). In order to
obtain sufficient selectivity, the protection must have a calibration at least 10% higher than the power absorption
of the device, furthermore the device must be protected from excessive high contact voltage in compliance with
Local Authority provisions.
•
We recommend using appropriate bipolar connectors.
•
The use of extension leads to lengthen existing electrical connections must be avoided at all costs.
•
Do not use additional cables to extend the existing electrical connections. Before using the battery charger,
check that the sleeving on the mains cable and battery cables is in good condition. Should one of the cables be
damaged, have it replaced by a S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE qualified technician.
•
The S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE charging device needs no special maintenance, apart from regular
