Short circuit (output)
The charger is protected from short circuit when no battery is connected,
even in the presence of the main voltage .
Batteries on the other hand cannot withstand short circuit!
You should for this reason never short circuit the battery. Never short
circuit when the charger is connected to the battery, irrespective of
whether the main voltage is present. When a battery is short circuited
there is a danger that it will explode!!! The charger too will then incur
serious damage.
Level of protection
The indication for the degree of protection contains the character 'IP'
(International Protection) followed by two or three digits that stipulates the
conditions that it complies with.
The first digit refers to the class of protection for density, the second digit
to the fluid density and the last digit refers to the impact resistance. The
LBC 400 can be assigned IP 205, which means:
2 = the charger is protected against solid particulate larger than 12mm.
0 = the charger is not protected against water/liquid etc.
5 = the charger can bear an impact force of 2.00 Joule (2Nm) max.
Important
Protect the charger against moisture, pollution etc. This can damage
The charger internally. The cost for this repair is not covered by
warranty.

The LBC 400 has different charging voltages because each battery type
needs other voltages to ensure the longest duration of life. Therefore, the
right charging voltages need to be set beforehand by means of switches.
Disconnect the charger from the mains. On the front panel of the charger
you will find six switches. The charging voltages can be set by means of
the first five switches. The sixth switch should always be in the OFF
position. The schedule bellow is a good directive, however always
consult the technical details of your battery or your battery supplier. The
charge voltages for each setting can be found on page 43. Attention: the
dip-switches are placed upside down.
