If there is instability on the alternating mains supply to the charger
(micro-breaks > 500 ms), the charger will re-initialise the Boost period
of 6 hours ± 30 minutes and, in time, result in battery deterioration. In
such circumstances, we recommend that you select the "BOOST OFF"
mode.
3.5.4. Verifying the charge voltage
Before connecting batteries to the charger, you MUST check battery polarity.
Check also the voltage of the batteries using a calibrated voltmeter. Too low a
voltage on certain types of battery can indicate irreversible damage and an
inability to take a recharge.
Maintenance and repair of the equipment
4.1 Introduction
This section deals with arrangements for maintenance and repair of the equipment.
Correct operation and the life of the product are conditional on strictly complying
with the recommendations below.
4.2 Equipment maintenance
Disconnect the battery charger from the alternating mains supply for all
maintenance operations.
If the charger is placed in a dusty environment, vacuum it periodically to clean it
since layers of dust might affect heat dissipation.
Check the state of charge of the batteries every three months.
An annual check that nuts and bolts are tight is necessary in order to guarantee
correct functioning of the charger (especially in an environment subject to
vibration, shock, large changes in temperature, etc.).
A complete technical examination by a CRISTEC recommended serviceman is
advisable every 5 years. This general technical examination can also be carried
out in our factories.
4.3 Equipment repair
Disconnect the battery charger from the ac mains supply and from the batteries
before carrying out any repairs.
If a fuse has blown, make sure the replacement complies with the rating and type
of fuse recommended in section 2.1.
For any other repair action, contact a reseller or CRISTEC.
