1.1 Electrical information
Read the electric data on the charger identification plate and check they are in conformity with your electric system and
the battery it should recharge:
1- Mains voltage. Usually, it is 230V-50Hz AC for single-phase systems and 400V-50Hz for three-phase systems.
The Ac mains current. Some HFK models will require a single-phase Ac mains plug 2P+ground 32A
2-
3- The Battery voltage. Its voltage rating must correspond with voltage of battery charger.
4- The maximum charging current. For the correct value, please refer the special capacity/current table, available at
our office.
5- Battery capacity: once the battery charger is ON pls verify that parameter 0 (battery capacity) corresponds to
capacity of your battery (see battery plate data). In case of any discrepancy pls contact our technical department for
assistance.
6- Verify with battery manufacturer that charging profile is suitable for the recharge
WARNING: WRONG SETTING CAN CAUSE SEROIOUS DAMAGES TO YOUR BATTERY
If charger electric data are not in accordance with your electric system or your battery do NOT connect the charger!
In case of failure or malfunctioning, turn off the machine and do not try to repair. Please, call our technical service or

1.2 Safety and reference rules
Specialised personnel must make the electrical connection. We suggest you to contact personnel able to

issue a declaration of conformity for the work made. The declaration must include the connection to the
ground, the verification of the power of the plug and the Ac Main. The electrical safety is assured only when
the plug is connected to an efficient ground. Installing procedures are available in our office.
The fitting or replacement of the charger plug must be completed by specialized personnel.

 Protect the power supply cables with slow fuses or magneto thermal switch (D curve).
 Before executing maintenance or repairing on the battery charger, please make sure that the Ac Mains plug
and the battery plug are disconnected.
 If the power cables or the battery charger cables are worn or even partially damaged, please replace them
by specialised personnel. At our office, you can find "Routine and extraordinary maintenance" forms.
