- under no circumstances touch the battery poles
- do not short-circuit the charger lead or charging terminals
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately
dimensioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately dimensioned cables and leads must be immediately repaired by authorised personnel.
Dangers from acid, gases and vapours
Batteries contain acid which is harmful to the eyes and skin. During charging,
gases and vapours are released that can harm health and are highly explosive
in certain circumstances.
- Only use the chargers in well ventilated areas to prevent the accumulation
of explosive gases. Battery areas are not deemed to be hazardous areas
provided that a concentration of hydrogen of less than 4 % can be guaranteed by the use of natural or forced ventilation.
- Maintain a distance of at least 0.5 m (19.69 in.) between battery and
charger during the charging procedure. Possible sources of ignition, such
as fire and naked lights, must be kept away from the battery
- The battery connection (e.g. charging terminals) must not be disconnected for any reason during charging
- On no account inhale any of the gases and vapours released
- Make sure the area is well ventilated.
- To prevent short circuits, do not place any tools or conductive metals on
the battery
- Battery acid must not get into the eyes, onto the skin or clothes. Wear protective goggles and suitable protective clothing. Rinse any acid splashes
thoroughly with clean water, and seek medical advice if necessary.
EN
General information regarding the

General information
EN
Principle
The main feature of the new Active Inverter
Technology is intelligent charging. This means that the charging behaviour adapts itself automatically to the age and state of
charge of the battery. This innovation extends the battery life and reduces the
amount of maintenance required, while at
the same time improving cost-effectiveness.
Active Inverter Technology is based on an
inverter with active rectification and an intelligent safety cut-out. The charging current
and voltage are held constant by a digital
control that is not affected by any fluctuations in the mains voltage.
Device concept The compact design reduces space requirements and makes portable use considerably
easier. Add to this the fact that the active inverters can be used "on-board". In addition to
its many existing features, the charger has a modular design that makes it easy to upgrade;
it is therefore ideally equipped for future requirements. A wide range of options is available.
Warning notices
on the device
A number of safety symbols can be seen on the charger's rating plate. The safety symbols
must not be removed or painted over.

use the functions described here until you have thoroughly read and understood
the following documents:
- Operating instructions
- All the operating instructions for the system components, especially the safety rules
- Battery and vehicle manufacturers' operating instructions and safety rules
WARNING! Charging dry batteries (primary cells) and non-rechargeable batteries can cause serious injury or damage, and is therefore prohibited.
Safety strategy standard protection devices
NOTE! An inadequately dimensioned electrical installation can cause serious
damage. The mains lead and its fuse must be dimensioned to suit the local power
supply. The technical data shown on the rating plate applies.
The new chargers are not just characterised by purely functional features. In terms of safety, the active inverters are also equipped to the highest standards.
The following safety features come as standard:
- Voltage-free and spark-free terminals protect against explosions
- Reverse polarity protection prevents the battery or charger from being damaged or destroyed
- Short-circuit protection provides effective protection for the charger The fuse does not
need to be replaced in the event of a short circuit
- A charging time monitor provides effective protection against overcharging and destruction of the battery
- Due to the high degree of protection, there is a lower rate of contamination in adverse
conditions. This adds to the charger's reliability
- Overtemperature protection through derating (charging current reduced if the temperature rises above the permitted level)
