Safety instructions
To protect you from electrical shocks, injury or burns
the following basic safety principles must be observed
when using electrical devices. Please read and follow these
instructions before using the device.
Installation
Ensure that the devices are positioned safely and cannot fall
down or over. Always position the cables to ensure they do
not pose a tripping hazard. Do not expose electrical devices to
rain. Do not operate electrical devices in damp or wet environ-
ments. Do not operate electrical devices close to flammable
liquids or gases. Position the devices so that they are out of
the reach of children.
Protection against an electrical shock
Only operate devices whose casings and cables are undam-
aged. Ensure the cables are installed safely. Do not pull on the
cables.
Only operate the device if it has been secured with a
30 mA fault-current circuit breaker.
The valid local
installation regulations must be observed.
Use
Do not use electrical devices for purposes other than those
stated by the manufacturer.
Repairs
Do not repair or modify the device. Please contact your dealer
or the Truma Service (see service manual or www.truma.com).
Accessories
Only use accessories and additional devices that are supplied
or recommended by the manufacturer.
Application purpose
The automatic charger may only be used to charge 12 V lead
accumulators comprising 6 individual cells (e.g. car battery),
with a capacity of 50 – 160 Ah. It can be used universally and
is designed for continuous use or parallel mode. This auto-
matic charger has been designed to work best with gel, AGM
or liquid electrolyte batteries. The device is designed for instal-
lation in caravans, campers and boats.
Improper use
Do not use for 6 V batteries or non-chargeable batteries!
The automatic charger may not be used to charge 6 V lead ac-
cumulators. If batteries with a rated voltage of 6 V are charged
with the automatic charger, gassing occurs immediately
which creates an explosive detonating gas.
