and are highly explosive under certain circumstances.
Only use battery charging systems in well ventilated rooms in order to prevent
the accumulation of explosive gases. Battery 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 charging system. 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.
Never breathe in the gases and vapors produced by the battery - Ensure there is
a sufficient supply of fresh air.
Do not place any tools or electrically conductive metals on the battery, in order
to prevent short circuits.
Never allow battery acid to come into contact with your eyes, skin, or clothing.
Wear eye protection and appropriate protective clothing. Rinse away any
splashed acid immediately and thoroughly with clean water, and consult a physician if necessary.

Options
SafetyIn order to connect optional components, it may be necessary to open the hous-
ing. Observe the following warnings:
WARNING!
Danger of electric shock.
This may result in serious injuries or death.
The housing must never be opened by anyone other than a service technician
▶
trained by the manufacturer.
Before working with the housing open, the device must be disconnected from
▶
the grid.
A suitable measuring device must be used to ensure that electrically charged
▶
components (e.g., capacitors) are completely discharged.
With the aid of a clearly legible, understandable warning sign, ensure that
▶
the device remains disconnected from the grid until all work has been completed.
WARNING!
Danger due to work that is not carried out properly.
This can result in severe personal injury and damage to property.
All work involved with connecting optional components must only be carried
▶
out by qualified specialist technicians.
If there are Installation Instructions or User Information for the optional
▶
component concerned, then all warning notices and instructions therein
must be obeyed.
For all options with electrical connections, a safety inspection must be car-
▶
ried out in accordance with the applicable national and international standards and guidelines after connection work has been carried out.
You can obtain more information about the safety inspection from your au-
▶
thorized Service Partner.
The Service Partner will provide the necessary documents upon request.
▶
WARNING!
Danger from devices falling or toppling over.
This can result in severe personal injury and damage to property.
Due to its weight, the device must be secured against falling down and top-
▶
pling over by means of suitable mounting accessories.
The wall and floor brackets offered by the manufacturer must be used.
▶
Electrolyte circulation
56
NOTE!
Danger due to electrolyte penetrating from the battery or due to operation
without backpressure.
Damage to the air pump may result.
Always position the battery charger so that it is at least 0.5 m (1 ft. 7.69 in.)
▶
above the battery to be charged.
Always connect the compressed air output on the battery charger to the bat-
▶
tery via the hose connection provided, ensuring it is in perfect condition.
NOTE!
Danger due to non-compliance with the permissible mains voltage tolerance.
Malfunctions and damage to property may result.
For the electrolyte circulation option, a limited mains voltage tolerance of
▶
207 V to 250 V, phase-phase, applies compared to the battery charger: 360 V
to 433 V.
The electrolyte circulation option has an air pump integrated into the battery
charger. This delivers air into the battery via specially designed capillary tubes.
This results in an intensive mixing of the electrolyte. The benefit is less battery
heating, a longer battery life and less water loss during charging.
If an error is detected due to a pump defect - or due to leaks in the connection to
the battery - the status code "Statecode 14" appears on the display. This defect
can be indicated as a common error by means of an external signal lamp, for example.
The sequential control of the electrolyte circulation takes place via the battery
charger control unit. Several selection options are available in the configuration
menu for this purpose. Detailed information can be found in the "Additional
functions" section of the "Display" chapter.
These selection options include the factory default programs 1 through 5. The
relevant parameters for these programs are shown in the table below, followed
by an explanation.

In each of these programs, the solenoid valve picks up for an "ON 1" time and
drops out for an "OFF 1" time. This process repeats as many times as specified
for "Repeat". After this number of repetitions has elapsed, the "ON 2" and "OFF
2" times continue until the end of charging.
Cleaning the air filter insert
Clean the air filter insert for the integrated air pump once a year. If there is a lot
of dust, shorten the cleaning interval accordingly. It is necessary to remove the
air filter insert (2) for cleaning purposes. Remove the air filter (1) by pulling it off
and then reinstall it as follows:

WARNING!
The optional relay board enables the external evaluation of the battery charger's
operating states and the state of charge of the connected battery. It is also possible to supply one or more external loads with input voltage L-N. This requires an
existing neutral conductor in the electrical network. An explanation of the configuration for the outputs of the relay board can be found in the Operating Instructions for the battery charger: Chapter "Display", section "Additional functions".
Detailed information on the relay board can be found in the instructions supplied
with the relay board option.
Enclosed is an overview of options directly related to the relay board. These relay
