Safety
measures in
normal mode
While the charger is in operation, keep all persons, especially
children, out of the working area. If, however, there are people in
the vicinity,
– warn them about all the dangers (hazardous acids and gases,
danger from mains and charging current, etc),
– provide suitable protective equipment.
Before leaving the work area, ensure that no-one or nothing can
come to any harm in your absence.
– Chargers with PE conductors must only be operated on a mains
supply with a PE conductor and a socket with an earth contact.
If the charger is operated on a mains without a PE conductor
or in a socket without an earth contact, this will be deemed to
be gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be liable for
any damage resulting from such improper use.
– Only operate the charger in accordance with the degree of
protection shown on the rating plate.
– Under no circumstances operate the charger if there is any
evidence of damage.
– Ensure that the cooling air can enter and exit unhindered
through the air ducts on the charger.
– Have the mains and charger supply checked regularly by a
qualified electrician to ensure the PE conductors are function-
ing properly.
– Any safety devices and components that are not functioning
properly or are in an imperfect condition must be repaired by
an qualified technician before switching on the charger.
– Never bypass or disable protection devices.
– After installation, a freely accessible mains plug will be
required.
