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.

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.

General information on working with batteries

Personal protection and protection of others

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)

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 in emission class A:

Are only designed for use in industrial settings

Can cause line-bound and radiated interference in other areas

Devices in emission class B:

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

true for residential areas in which the energy is supplied from the public lowvoltage mains.

EMC device classification as per the rating plate or 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.

A note is displayed if a characteristic that requires an external temperature sensor is selected.

Use the "Pause/Start" key to con-

firm the note.

Equalising charge

OFF

There is no equalising charge.

Delay

If the battery remains connected to the charger for the duration of the

equalising charge delay ("equalize charge delay"), a special type of charging takes place. This prevents acid stratification. The parameters for the current (ampere/100 ampere hours), voltage (volt/

cell) and duration of the equalising charge may all be changed.

Weekday

Specify the weekday on which the equalising charge is to take place.

The parameters for the current (ampere/100 ampere hours), voltage (volt/

cell) and duration of the equalising charge may all be changed.

Manual equalising charge (“Manual”)

An equalising charge can be started manually by pressing the relevant key on

the display. The equalising charge starts after a set delay time has been observed. The

charge parameters that have been set are followed. The parameters for the current (ampere/100 ampere hours), voltage (volt/

cell) and duration of the equalising charge may all be changed. This function is only available for Pb-Wet characteristics.

If a setting for the equalising charge is enabled, a symbol on the home screen next to the set ampere hours or charging time shows whether an equalising charge is being carried out or can be started.

Electrolyte circulation (not available with Selectiva 3x220 16 kW variants)

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 reduced battery heating, a longer battery life, and less water loss during charging.

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 func-

tions section of the "Display" chapter.

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:

External start/ stop

Charging lights

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.

Suitable signal lamps can be connected to the connections inside the device as illustrated in order to indicate the state of charge or operating status of the charger. Each signal lamp must have a working voltage of 12 V, and the total current drawn by all the lamps must not exceed 0.5 A. Connections (1) to (5) in the Figure are assigned as shown below. It is advisable to use the lamp colours shown below:

Connection Function Colour

(1) 12 V power supply

(2) Battery is fully charged Green

Temperaturecontrolled charging

CAN card

(3) On: battery is being charged

Flashing: charging has been interrupted

(4) An error has occurred (common error) Red

(5) The battery has already cooled down and is ready for

use

If the RGB setting (LED strip) is set in the menu, then connection 3 (YELLOW) is not supported. The normal setting (conventional signal lamp) or RGB (LED strip) for the "External Lamp" function is explained under "Additional functions" in the "Display" section.

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.

WARNING!

Danger from using the CAN card for safety-critical functions.

This may result in serious injury and damage to property.

Do not use the CAN card for safety-critical functions.
