INSTALLATION - OPERATION
GB
EQUIPMENT SUPPLY
The equipment already includes a AC power cord. For connections to an AC mains see fig.1. Before powering up the
battery charger check that the power supply voltage, described on the rating label (fig.2), corresponds to that supplied
by the AC mains. A 2 pole switch must be installed in the electrical circuit for the sole use of switching the equipment
ON/OFF. The insulation between the contact points of the connections of the AC mains must be at least 3 mm.
The connections to the AC mains must be carried out according to local electrical codes.
WARNING: before connecting or disconnecting the battery charger's AC cord from the AC mains, please make
sure it is disconnected by bipolar switch.
Before connecting or disconnecting the DC wires from the battery charger's output terminals, please ensure that the de-
vice is disconnected by means of bipolar switch from the AC mains and by means of a battery isolator from the batteries.
WARNING: in cases where the AC power cord could be damaged, have this changed by a "Quick
tre. In order to avoid accidents, the equipment must only be opened by authorised personnel.

WARNING: during charge, batteries can generate explosive gases, therefore avoid sparks or naked flames. Pro-
vide adequate ventilation to the battery area whilst charging.
WARNING: before connecting the batteries check the polarity of the cables from the battery. Reversing the po-
larity, could seriously damage the battery charger even if protected by fuses.
The positive terminal of the battery or of the group of batteries must be connected to one of the positive terminals of
the battery charger.
The negative terminal of the battery or of the group of batteries must be connected to the negative terminal of the bat-
tery charger (fig. 1). To make the connections use the cable terminals supplied with the equipment.
If the installation has only one or two groups of batteries, always connect the output marked "MASTER". This is the
main output of the battery charger. It is advisable to connect the group of batteries which are used more often (typi-
cally the service group) to the MASTER output terminal.
The positive output terminals that are not used must be kept free (do not bridge the terminals).
WARNING: the use of inadequate size cables and the incorrect connection of terminals or electrical joints may
result in dangerous overheating of the connecting terminals or cables.
