Dangers due to
grid and char­ging current

Danger due to
acid, gases and
vapours

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 pre­vent 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 di­mensioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged, or under-dimensioned
cables and leads must be repaired immediately by an authorized specialist.

Batteries contain acids which pose a risk to the eyes and skin. Furthermore, char­ging 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 accu­mulation 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.

General informa­tion on working
with batteries

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.

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.

Protect batteries from dirt and mechanical damage.

-

Store charged batteries in cool rooms. The lowest self discharge occurs at

-

approx. +2°C (35.6°F).
Refer to the specifications of the battery manufacturer or conduct weekly

-

visual inspections to ensure that the battery is filled with acid (electrolyte)
up to the maximum marking.
Do not start operating the device, or immediately stop operation, and have

-

the battery inspected by an authorized specialist if:

The acid level is uneven or there is high water consumption in individual

-

cells caused by a possible defect
The battery heats up to an impermissible level, above 55°C (131°F)

-

7

Personal protec­tion and protec­tion of others

Keep persons, especially children, away from the device and working area during
operation. However, if persons are in the vicinity:

Inform them of any dangers (hazardous acids and gases, risk due to grid and

-

charging current, etc.),
Provide suitable protective equipment.

-

Before leaving the working area, ensure that no personal injury or property dam­age can occur in your absence.

Safety measures
in normal opera­tion

EMC device clas­sifications

Operate devices with ground conductors only on a grid with a ground conductor
and a socket with a ground conductor contact. Operating the device on a grid
without a ground conductor or on a socket without a ground conductor contact is
considered gross negligence. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any dam­age resulting from improper use.

Only operate the device in accordance with the protection class shown on the
rating plate.

Never commission the device if it is damaged.

Have the grid and device supply lead regularly inspected by an electrician to en­sure that the ground conductor is functioning properly.

Safety devices that are not fully functional and components with defects must
be repaired by an authorized specialist before the device is turned on.

Never bypass or disable protection devices.

A freely accessible mains plug is required after installation.

Devices with emission class A:

Are only designed for use in an industrial setting.

-

Can cause conducted and emitted interference in other areas.

-

Devices with emission class B:

Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas. This also

-

applies to residential areas in which power is supplied from the public low­voltage grid.

EMC device classification according to the rating plate or the technical data.

EMC measures In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for

emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g. when
there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the device
is installed is close to either radio or television receivers).
If this is the case, then the operating company is obliged to take appropriate ac­tion to rectify the situation.

Data protection The user is responsible for the safekeeping of any changes made to the factory

settings. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any deleted personal settings.

Options

Safety The housing has to be partially opened to connect the options.

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 service technicians trained by the manufacturer.
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 the au-

▶

thorized service body.
The service body will provide the necessary documents upon request.

Electrolyte cir­culation 3 kW

56

NOTE!

Danger due to the ingress of electrolyte from the battery or due to operation
without any back pressure.

This may result in damage to the air pump.

Always set up the charger at least 0.5 m (1 ft. 7.69 in.) above the battery to

▶

be charged.
Always use an undamaged connecting hose provided specifically for this pur-

▶

pose to connect the charger's compressed air outlet to the battery.

NOTE!

Danger due to non-observance of the permissible mains voltage tolerance.

This can cause malfunctions and damage.

For the electrolyte circulation option, a restricted mains voltage tolerance

▶

vis-à-vis the charger of 207 V to 250 V applies.

The electrolyte circulation option introduces air into the battery through capil­lary tubes that are provided specifically for this purpose. This allows intensive

mixing of the electrolyte to take place. The benefit is the reduced heating of the
battery, and consequently longer battery-life, plus reduced water loss during
charging.

If a pump fault or leaks in the connection with the battery result in a fault being
detected, then the status code "Statecode 14" will appear on the display. One
way in which this fault can be indicated is by using an external indicator lamp to
show a common error.

Weight of the electrolyte circulation set:
Air-Puls + air hose kit

Electrolyte circulation air filter insert

The air filter insert for the integrated air pump should be cleaned once a year. In
dusty environments, the cleaning interval should be shortened accordingly. The
air filter insert must be removed for cleaning. Remove the air filter by levering it
out with a slotted screwdriver; then refit it as follows:

NOTE!

Danger from using the air filter with unsuitable chargers.

This can result in damage to property.

Only use the air filter with the chargers provided by the manufacturer for

▶

this purpose.

External start/
stop

The external start/stop option prevents spark formation at the charging plug if it
is disconnected during charging. Special contacts inside the charging plug re­gister a disconnection. These contacts are leading in comparison to the main
contacts. An immediate charging stop is triggered. There is therefore no wear on
the main contacts and the level of safety against oxyhydrogen ignition is in­creased.

Temperature­controlled char­ging

The temperature-controlled charging option always adjusts the charging voltage
according to the current temperature of the battery. This results in considerably
longer battery-life, especially where batteries are used in cold stores.

LED strip The LED strip acts as a status indicator and lights up in the same colours as the

display elements on the control panel. An LED strip including a diffuser is in­stalled in the gap between the front wall and upper part of the housing.
