Safety
Proper use
The charger is only to be used for charging batteries as described in the "Technical data"
section and is intended exclusively for supporting the electrical systems of cars in show-
rooms. Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer
shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage. Proper use includes:
-
-
Mains connection
The rating plate, which is located on the housing, contains information about the permitted
mains voltage. The charger is designed for this mains voltage only. The fuse protection re-
quired for the mains lead can be found in the "Technical data" section. If there is no mains
lead or mains plug on your device, fit one that conforms to national standards.
Safety strategy -
The new chargers are not just characterised by purely functional features. In terms of safe-
standard protec-
ty, the active inverters are also equipped to the highest standards:

WARNING! Incorrect operation may result in serious injury or damage. Do not
use the functions described here until you have thoroughly read and understood
the following documents:
-
Operating instructions
-
All the operating instructions for the system components, especially the safe-
ty rules
-
Battery and vehicle manufacturers' operating instructions and safety rules
complying with all the operating instructions
regular checking of the mains and charger leads
WARNING! Charging dry batteries (primary cells) and non-rechargeable batter-
ies can cause serious injury or damage, and is therefore prohibited.
NOTE! Inadequately dimensioned electrical installations can cause serious dam-
age. The mains lead and its fuse must be dimensioned to suit the local power sup-
ply. The technical data shown on the rating plate applies.
Voltage-free and spark-free terminals protect against explosions
Reverse polarity protection prevents the charger from being damaged or destroyed
Short-circuit protection provides effective protection for the charger. The fuse does not
need to be replaced in the event of a short circuit
A charging time monitor provides effective protection against overcharging and de-
struction of the battery
Due to the high degree of protection, there is a lower rate of contamination in adverse
conditions. This adds to the charger's reliability.
Overtemperature protection through derating (charging current reduced if the temper-
ature rises above the permitted level)
