Danger Due To Acid, Gases And Vapours; General Information Regarding The Handling Of Batteries; Protecting Yourself And Others - Fronius Acctiva Smart 25 A Manual De Instrucciones

Danger due to Batteries contain acid which is harmful to the eyes and skin. During charging, gases and
acid, gases and vapours are released that may be harmful to health and are highly explosive in certain
vapours 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 concentra-
tion of hydrogen of less than 4% can be guaranteed by the use of natural or forced venti-
lation.
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 rea-
son 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 gog-
gles and suitable protective clothing. Rinse any acid splashes thoroughly with clean
water and seek medical advice if necessary.

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

Before leaving the work area, ensure that people or property cannot come to any harm in
your absence.
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).
warn them about all the dangers (hazardous acids and gases, danger from mains
and charging current, etc.),
provide suitable protective equipment.
