Commissioning
Before breaking or making direct-current connections, e.g. the charging cable
at the battery, the device be switched off at the mains. Pull out the mains plug.
The power supply is operational as soon as it is connected to the mains.
Charging a battery

Attention
Batteries with short-circuited cells must not be charged. Explosion hazard due
to the generation of oxyhydrogen gas! Explosive gases (oxyhydrogen) are
produced if charging is carried out with a short-circuited battery, or when the
automatic charging controller is non-operational. Therefore it is necessary to
ensure sufficient external ventilation in the battery space. Avoid sparks and
open flames!
Prerequisites
The battery must have a rated voltage of 12 V and a minimum capacity of 60
Ah. Insufficient charging takes place if the battery is below this value. Batteries
with a capacity that is too high are charged too slowly. The operating voltage
of the battery must not fall below 1.5 V. No charging takes place below this
value.
Charging process
Battery charging proceeds automatically. After a mains failure, the main charg-
ing process is automatically started again. The main charging process ends
when a battery voltage of 14.4 volts is reached. After the post charging phase,
the device switches to holding charge of constant 13.8 volts.
Parallel operation
In parallel operation, the current drawn up by electrical equipment should be
less than the maximum charging current of 16 A. This is the only way to ensure
that the battery is being charged even though consumers are being supplied.
Mains operation on ferries
The voltage of the mains power provided on ferries can be subject to wide
variations.
Do not, therefore, connect the device to this supply.
