Chapter 2: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
While every care has been taken to ensure the completeness and accuracy of this manual, Advanced
Charging Technologies Inc. assumes no responsibility or liability for losses or damages resulting from the
use of the information contained in this document. Due to technical improvements, some information
contained in this manual may change without notice.
• WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE
EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF THE
UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ AND FOLLOW
THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED EXACTLY.
• TO REDUCE RISK OF BATTERY EXPLOSION, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND THOSE MARKED
ON THE BATTERY.
• NEVER SMOKE OR ALLOW AN OPEN SPARK OR FLAME IN THE VICINITY OF THE BATTERY.
• USE CHARGER FOR CHARGING A LEAD-ACID BATTERY ONLY. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO SUPPLY
POWER TO AN EXTRA-LOW-VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR TO CHARGE DRY-CELL BATTERIES.
CHARGING DRY-CELL BATTERIES MAY CAUSE THEM TO BURST AND CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS
AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
• NEVER CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
• STUDY ALL BATTERY MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS SUCH AS REMOVING OR NOT
REMOVING CELL CAPS WHILE CHARGING AND RECOMMENDED RATES OF CHARGE.
• NEVER PLACE THE CHARGER DIRECTLY ABOVE OR BELOW THE BATTERY BEING CHARGED; GASES
OR FLUIDS FROM THE BATTERY WILL CORRODE AND DAMAGE THE CHARGER.
• LOCATE THE CHARGER AS FAR AWAY FROM THE BATTERY AS DC CABLES PERMIT.
• DO NOT OPERATE CHARGER IN A CLOSED-IN AREA OR RESTRICT VENTILATION IN ANY WAY.
WARNING:
BEFORE INSTALLING, USING OR MAINTAINING QUANTUM
CHARGERS, READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE AND THE
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
SHOULD INSTALL, OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER:
Risk of High Voltages – Lethal voltages are present within the charger
enclosure whenever the AC mains supply is energized and/or the
battery or load is connected. The bus bars and other internal
components present the risk of electric shock
WARNING:
Risk of Explosive Gases – Working near lead-acid batteries is
dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during charging and
discharging. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, ensure adequate
ventilation and follow these instructions as well as those published
by the battery manufacturer.
WARNING:
Risk of Improper Grounding – The charger must be connected to an
AC mains supply incorporating an earth/ground. The grounding
conductor must be of a size equal or larger than the line (phase)
conductors.
WARNING:
Protect Eyes and Skin – Wear safety goggles and skin protection
when installing or servicing the battery charging system or working
near lead-acid batteries.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, only charge rechargeable lead-acid
batteries. Charging or trying to charge other types of batteries may
cause damage or result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Risk of Fire - To reduce the risk of fire, install battery charger on a
floor of non-combustible material, such as stone, brick, concrete, or
metal. Do not install on or over combustible surfaces.
CAUTION:
Risk of Fire – Use only on circuits provided with appropriate branch
circuit protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
NFPA 70.
DANGER:
Risk of Electric Shock from Stored Energy – Wait at least five
minutes after de-energizing the AC power supply and disconnecting
the battery or load before opening the charger enclosure or touching
any of the de-energized AC supply parts.

DANGER:
Risk of Electric Shock and/or Electric Energy from High Current
Levels – Do not touch un-insulated battery, connectors, bus bars or
terminals. All tools used should be adequately insulated to avoid the
possibility of shorting connections. Inspect cables often for damage
to the insulation. Replace cracked, worn or otherwise damaged
cables immediately.
CAUTION:
Risk of Fire or Explosion from Gases Vented by Batteries –
Discharge static electricity from tools and technician by touching a
grounded surface when working in the vicinity of batteries
CAUTION:
Improper Connection - Damage to the charging system or battery, or
personal injury may occur if the charger is incorrectly wired to AC
supply or its output devices. Always observe local safety codes and
standards.
CAUTION:
Indoor Use Only – This charger is for INDOOR use only. Do NOT
expose the charging system to rain or snow.
CAUTION:
Air Filter Maintenance – To prevent damage from overheating or
internal contamination, check air filters regularly (at least every two
weeks), and clean or replace as necessary.

3.3 Charger Mounting Options
The charging area should be well ventilated, dry and
adequately clean before the charger is mounted.
There must be at least 5.5 inches of spacing between the
front, back, and sides of the charger and any adjacent
walls or barriers to allow for proper cooling.
CAUTION:
Do not restrict airflow to the air filter at the front of
the charger or to the vents at the back of the
charger.
Quantum chargers offer a wide variety of mounting
options such as floor mount, wall mount, or stacked
mounting.
Wall Mounting
For wall mounting, only use mounting brackets especially designed for the Quantum Charger
Series, available from your local ACT Dealer. The wall mount is also available with a pogo stick
cable management system. Follow the installation instructions included in the Wall Mounting Kit
for proper installation.
