Operation and/or storage of the charger outside the stipulated
area will be deemed as "not in accordance with the intended
purpose". The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage
resulting from such improper use.
For exact information on permitted environmental conditions,
please refer to the "Technical data" in the operating instructions.
High-performance devices can affect the quality of the mains
power due to their current-input.
This may affect a number of types of device in terms of:
– connection restrictions.
– criteria with regard to maximum permissible mains
impedance. *)
– criteria with regard to minimum short-circuit power
requirement. *)
*) At the interface with the public mains network.
See Technical Data
In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device
should check whether or not the device is allowed to be connect-
ed, where appropriate through discussion with the power supply
company.
Anyone working with chargers exposes themselves to numerous
risks e.g.:
– risk of death by electrocution from mains current and
charging current.
– hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can risk the lives of
those using cardiac pacemakers.
An electric shock can be fatal. Every electric shock is potentially
life threatening. To avoid electric shocks while using the charger:
– do not touch any live parts inside or on the outside of the
charger.
– under no circumstances touch the battery poles.
– do not short-circuit the charger lead or charging terminals.
All cables and leads must be complete, undamaged, insulated
and adequately dimensioned. Loose connections, scorched,
damaged or inadequately dimensioned cables and leads must be
immediately repaired by authorised personnel.
