SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
Read carefully all documentation before handling the equipment and pay special attention to safety
recommendations to maximize the performance of this product and ensure its safe use and installation.
This document covers the most important and frequent potential causes of damage to equipment or
personnel. It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the instructions provided in this manual, follow
good electrical practices and identify all warnings and recommendations before starting up and operating
the electric vehicle chargers.
WARNING
FIRST CONSIDERATIONS
The operations detailed in this manual can only be performed by qualified personnel.
The condition of qualified personnel referred to in this manual shall be at least the condition that meets
the standards, regulations and safety laws applied to the installation and operation of this equipment.
Read and retain the Hardware and Installation Manual for future reference.
Before assembling the equipment, read all instructions, caution signs and other sections of this manual.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in severe electrical shock or death. Pay attention at all times
to prevent possible accidents.
In addition to the recommendations in this manual, local and site-specific safety procedures should
be observed. Additionally, local and national electrical regulations must be followed to avoid personal
injury and/or equipment damage.
The electric vehicle charging system may cause an ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE if the warnings
indicated in this manual are not followed.
Make sure the equipment is completely disconnected from the power supply and grounded before
handling or servicing. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock. To avoid electrical hazards,
disconnect the input supply, ground the equipment, remove control voltages before performing any tasks,
and ensure that busbars are completely discharged. Warning and safety labels must be properly affixed
to terminals, cabinets and control panels in accordance with local regulations.
When working on electrical installations, always remember to apply the FIVE GOLDEN RULES:
1. Visible shutdown of all live sources.
2. Mechanical locking of all cutting elements.
3. Verify the absence of voltage by using the appropriate tools for the voltage of the installation.
4. Ground and short-circuit all possible voltage sources.
5. Delimit and mark the work area.
Do not modify the equipment. If you fail to do so, Power Electronics will not assume any liability, and
the product warranty will be voided.
