Environmental
conditions
Operation or storage of the device outside the stipulated area will be deemed as
not in accordance with the intended purpose. The manufacturer accepts no liab-
ility for any damage resulting from improper use.
For exact information on permitted environmental conditions, please refer to the
"Technical data" chapter.
Mains connec-
tion
Devices with a high output can influence the energy quality of the grid due to
their current consumption.
This may affect a number of device types in terms of:
-Connection restrictions, requirements regarding maximum permissible grid
impedance *) or
-criteria regarding the minimum required short circuit power *).
*) both at the interface with the public grid
See technical data
In this case, the operator or the person using the device should check whether or
not the device is allowed to be connected, where appropriate through discussion
with the grid operator.
IMPORTANT! Ensure secure grounding of the mains connection.
Dangers due to
grid and char-
ging current
Working with battery chargers poses a number of dangers, such as:
-Electrical hazard due to grid and charging current
-Hazardous electromagnetic fields that may pose a risk of death for individu-
als with pacemakers.
An electric shock can be fatal. Every electric shock poses a risk of death. To pre-
vent electric shock during operation:
-Do not touch any voltage-carrying parts inside or outside of the device.
-Never touch the battery poles.
-Do not short-circuit the charging cable or charging terminals.
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated, and adequately di-
mensioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged, or under-dimensioned
cables and leads must be repaired immediately by an authorized specialist.
Danger due to
acids, gases, and
vapors
Batteries contain acids which pose a risk to the eyes and skin. Furthermore, char-
ging batteries produces gases and vapors that may be hazardous to your health
and are highly explosive under certain circumstances.
Only use battery chargers in well ventilated rooms in order to prevent the accu-
mulation of explosive gases. Battery charging rooms are not considered at risk of
explosion if a hydrogen concentration of less than 4 % is guaranteed by natural or
artificial ventilation.
During charging, observe a minimum distance of 0.5 m (19.69 in.) between the
battery and battery charger. Keep potential sources of ignition such as fire and
open flames away from the battery.
Never disconnect the battery (e.g., charging terminals) during charging.
