•Disconnect battery charger from input power and battery connections before installing or servicing. Lockout/Tagout input
power according to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147.
•Do not expose to rain or perform installation/service/repair work when in standing water.
•A charge can be stopped by disconnecting the output cable connector or by pressing the stop button on the front panel. The
DVS is designed to automatically stop a charge event to prevent arcing or burning of the charger connections in the event of
a hot disconnect.
•The charging cables must be sized for the full rated current of the DVS, and inspected frequently for wear, cuts and
abrasion. Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cable.
•The DVS charging connector is subject to normal wear and tear, and may be damaged by misuse or abuse. Frequently
inspect the connector for cracking, pitting of contacts, fraying of wires, or signs of connector fatigue. A damaged charging
connector should be replaced immediately.
