3.1 BATTERY CHARGER POSITION
When running, position the battery charger in a stable position and
make sure the air flow through the openings which guarantee required
ventilation is not blocked.
3.2 CONNECTION TO THE MAINS
-
The battery charger must only be connected to a power supply system
with neutral conductor connected to earth.
-
Check that the mains voltage is the same as the battery charger
voltage indicated on the rating plate.
-
The power line must have a protection system, such as fuses or circuit
breakers, that can support the maximum apparatus absorption.
-
Use the relative power cable when connecting to the mains.
-
Any power cable extensions must be of suitable section size, never
lower than that of the supplied power cable.
-
It is always compulsory to connect the device to the grounding
system, using the yellow-green wire in the power cable identified with
the label ( ), whilst the other two wires must be connected to the
phase and neutral conductors on the mains power supply.
4. OPERATING DURING CHARGING
N.B.: Before charging, make sure the capacity (Ah) of the battery to
be charged is not lower than that indicated on the battery charger
rating plate (Cmin). Follow the instructions scrupulously in the order
