Dangers from
mains current
and charging cur­rent

Anyone working with battery chargers exposes themselves to numerous dangers, e.g.:

- Risk of electrocution from mains current and charging current.

- Hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can risk the lives of those using cardiac
pacemakers.

An electric shock can be fatal. Every electric shock is potentially life threatening. To avoid
electric shocks while using the charger:

- Do not touch any live parts inside or on the outside of the charger.

- Under no circumstances 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 inadequately dimensioned cables and
leads must be immediately repaired by authorised personnel.

EN

Danger due to
acid, gases and
vapours

Batteries contain acid which is harmful to the eyes and skin. During charging, gases and
vapours are released that may be harmful to health and are highly explosive in certain
circumstances.

Only use the charger in well-ventilated areas to prevent the accumulation of explosive
gases. Battery rooms 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 the battery and charger during
the charging procedure. Possible sources of ignition such as fire and naked flames must
be kept away from the battery.

The battery connection (e.g. charging terminals) must not be disconnected for any
reason during charging.

Do not inhale any of the gases and vapours released under any circumstances - 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 or 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.

7

General informa­tion regarding the
handling of bat­teries

- Protect batteries from dirt and mechanical damage.

- Store charged batteries in a cool place. Self discharge is kept to a minimum at
approx. +2 °C (35.6 °F).

- Carry out a visual inspection at least once a week or as often as specified by the
battery manufacturer to ensure that the acid (electrolyte) level in the battery is at the
max. mark.

- If any of the following occur, do not start the device (or stop immediately if already in
use) and have the battery checked by an authorised workshop:

- uneven acid levels and/or high water consumption in individual cells caused by

a possible fault.

- overheating of the battery above 55 °C (131 °F).

Protecting your­self and others

Safety measures
in normal opera­tion

While the charger is in operation, keep all persons, especially children, out of the working
area. If, however, there are people in the vicinity,

- warn them about all the dangers (hazardous acids and gases, danger from mains
and charging current, etc.),

- provide suitable protective equipment.

Before leaving the work area, ensure that people or property cannot come to any harm in
your absence.

Chargers with a ground conductor must only be operated on a mains supply with a
ground conductor and a socket with a ground conductor contact. If the charger is oper­ated on a mains supply without a ground conductor or in a socket without a ground con­ductor contact, this will be deemed gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be held
liable for any damage arising from such usage.

Only operate the charger in accordance with the degree of protection shown on the rat­ing plate.

Under no circumstances operate the charger if there is any evidence of damage.

Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician to ensure
the ground conductor is functioning properly.

Any safety devices and parts that are not functioning properly or are in imperfect condi­tion must be repaired by a qualified technician before switching on the charger.

Safety In order to connect optional components, it may be necessary to open the housing. The

following warning notices must be obeyed:

WARNING!

Danger due to work that has been carried out improperly.

This can result in serious injury and damage to property.

All work involved with connecting optional components must only be carried out by

▶

qualified specialist technicians.
If Installation Instructions or User Information is available for the optional component

▶

concerned, all warning notices and instructions therein must be obeyed.
In the case of all optional components with electrical connections, once the connec-

Electrolyte circu­lation

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 purpose 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 of 207 V to

▶

250 V, phase-phase: 360 V to 433 V, applies for the charger.

The electrolyte circulation option features an air pump integrated in the charger. This
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.

The electrolyte circulation cycle is controlled by the charger's control system. A number
of selection options are available in the configuration menu for this purpose. More
information can be found under "Additional functions" in the "Display" section.

The default preconfigured programs 1 to 5 are among these selection options. The relev­ant parameters for these programs are listed in the table below together with a sub­sequent explanation.

4 5 min 10 min 3 x 5 min 20 min

5 2.5 min 7.5 min 1 x 2.5 min 7.5 min

In each of these programs, the solenoid valve opens for a time "ON 1" and closes for a
time "OFF 1". This process is repeated for the number of times specified under "Repeat".
After this number of repetitions has been completed, the process continues with the "ON
2" and "OFF 2" times until charging is completed.

Cleaning the 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
(2) must be removed for cleaning. Remove the air filter (1) by pulling it out and then refit
it as follows:

applies in relation to the charger.

The optional relay board enables the charger's operating statuses and the connected
battery's state of charge to be evaluated externally. One or more external consumers can
also be supplied with L-N input voltage. A neutral conductor in the electrical mains sup­ply is a prerequisite for this. The configuration of the relay board outputs is explained in
the Operating Instructions for the charger: "Additional functions" in the "Display" section.

More information on the relay board can be found in the instructions supplied with the
relay board option.

If the charger is built into a vehicle as an on-board device, the optional immobiliser
device will prevent the vehicle from being started unintentionally whilst charging is taking
place. This protects the vehicle, the battery and the charger leads from damage.

As soon as the vehicle is connected to the mains supply, the corresponding relay picks
up and blocks the ignition signal for instance. Another example is the actuation of a suit­able signal lamp to convey the message visually that charging is currently in progress.

The corresponding relay switches automatically once the time set in the menu has
