4 INSTALLATION OF THE CHARGER
Conditions of use:
- Operating temperature: 5°C to 45°C;
- Storage temperature: -20°C to 60°C;
- Relative humidity: less than 5%;
Attention: The charger can be installed by qualified personnel only.
Attention: This unit operates on 230 V AC +/- 10%, 50Hz.
Check that the unit’s operating voltage is identical to your local power supply.
Check that the unit’s maximum input power is available from your power supply.
Attention: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Do not use the unit in presence of flammable gas, because it can
generate sparks.
Attention: To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.
Attention: Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.
Do not place the unit near materials that may block the ventilation slots.
Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
Please take care about positioning and fixing of the charger inside the vehicle;
these must assure a correct air flow and a portection against every kind of phisical
or electrical damage.
4.1 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION OF THE CHARGER
•Check the efficiency of earth circuitry (yellow/green wire);
•Connect the charger to the battery using an adequate connector;
•Check the condition of the main supply plug;
4.1.1 MOTOR BLOCKING FUNCTION
Attention: These settings can be one by qualifie personnel only.
For more information please contact the
