Note - Chargers configured to boost may be in boost for up to 24 hours at start-up if battery voltage is low
8.7 Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watches when working with a storage battery. A storage battery can
produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal, causing a severe burn.
8.8 When charging batteries, charge 6 and 12 cell LEAD-ACID or 10 and
20 cell LIQUID ELECTROLYTE NICKEL-CADMIUM batteries only, with
rated capacity of 30 to 550 Ampere hours. Certified for fire pump and
emergency generator applications. For a 24 hour recharge time do not
exceed 220 Ampere hours of capacity per 12A charger output current.
Do not use this battery charger to supply power to an extra-low voltage
electrical system or to charge any type of non-rechargeable, dr y cell,
alkaline, lithium, nickel-metal-hydride, or sealed nickel-cadmium
batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injuries to persons and damage to
property.
8.9 NEVER charge a frozen battery.
8.10 The charger contains a DC output fuse for internal fault protection, but
this will not protect the DC wiring from fault currents available from
the battery. Consult national and local ordinances to determine if
additional battery fault protection is necessary in your installation.
9. PREPARING BATTERY FOR CHARGE
9.1 Be sure area around batter y is well ventilated while battery is being
charged.
9.2 Ensure battery terminals are clean and properly tightened. Be careful
to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
9.3 Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified
by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without
removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead acid batteries,
carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
9.4 Study all battery manufacturer specific precautions such as r emoving
or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rate of
charge.
10. CHARGER LOCATION
10.1 Locate the charger as far away from the battery as DC cables per mit.
10.2 Never place the charger directly above or below the battery being
charged; gases from the battery will cor rode and damage charger.
10.3 Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte
specific gravity or filling battery.
10.4 Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any
way.
10.5 Do not set anything on top of the charger.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –This guide contains important safety and
operating instructions for MicroGenius®S2 battery chargers.
2. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the batter y charger
manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
4. This charger is intended for commercial and industrial use. ONLY TRAINED
AND QUALIFIED PERSONNEL MAY INSTALL AND SERVICE THIS UNIT.
5. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way; shut off power at the branch circuit
protectors and have the unit serviced or replaced by qualified personnel.
6. To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the branch circuit feeding the
charger before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls
will not reduce this risk.
7. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
7.1 WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD -ACID OR
NICKEL-C ADMIUM BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. STORAGE
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL
BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT YOU READ THIS DOCUMENT AND FOLLOW
THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
7.2 To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instr uctions and
those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of
any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of a battery. Review
cautionary markings on these products
and on the engine.
8. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
8.1 Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to
come to your aid when you work near a storage battery.
8.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery electrolyte
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
8.3 Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching
eyes while working near a storage battery.
8.4 If battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If electrolyte enters eye, immediately flood the eye
with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
8.5 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
8.6 Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery.
It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical part that may
cause explosion. Using insulated tools reduces this risk, but will not
eliminate it.
