Warning And Safety - Gacell HF Série Manuel D'utilisation Et Entretien

Battery charger is designed to recharge both conventional flooded lead acid batteries (PzS) and
•
sealed batteries (PzV, Gel, AGM).
ATTENZION: battery charger is pre-set for a specific battery type.
•
Do not use a charger set for flooded lead acid batteries to recharge sealed batteries and vice versa.
In order to reduce risks of explosion of the battery, please follow these
•
reported on the battery:
Never charge a frozen battery or a non rechargeable battery
•
If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge it, always remove grounded terminal from
•
battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off in order to prevent an arc and sparks
Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps
•
while charging and recommended rates of charge
Never place the charger directly above or below the battery being charged; gases or fluids from the
•
battery will corrode and damage the charger. locate the charger as far away from the battery as dc
cables permit
Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after setting any charger switches to the off position and
•
removing ac cord from the electric outlet. never allow clips to touch each other
a spark near the battery may cause a battery explosion. to reduce risk of sparks near the battery:
•
(i) check polarity of battery posts. a positive (pos, p, +) battery post usually has a
larger diameter than a negative (neg, n, –) post.
(ii) attach at least a 60 cm 6-gauge (awg) insulated battery cable to a negative (neg, n, –) battery post.
(iii) connect the positive (red) charger clip to the positive (pos, p, +) post of battery.
(iv) position yourself and the free end of cable as far away from battery as possible, then connect the negative
(black) charger clip to free end of cable.
(v) do not face battery when making final connection.
(vi) connect charger ac supply cord to electrical outlet; and
(vii) when disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting
procedure and break first connection while standing as far away from battery as
practical
Before charging the battery read carefully the instruction
•
Keep the documents in a clean and dry place for future consultations
•
For indoor use. provide adequate ventilation. do not expose to rain.
•
Place the cabinet on a surface not flammable made of stone concrete or metal
•
Install preferably in a horizontal position (stand alone). If you place it vertically make sure that the
•
air fences are not blocked. Make sure there is enough clearance around the charger to ensure an
adequate air circulation. Do not place it near heat sources.
When performing any cables replacing do it considering suitable cables sections and lengths. Do not
•
change them from standards installed.
Perform periodic routine and extraordinary maintenance
•
In case of failure: identify the reason, act accordingly and use only original spare parts.
•
Working in proximity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. batteries generate explosive gases during
•
normal operation. it is therefore of utmost importance that each time, before using the charger, you
read and follow the instructions provided.
Explosive gases! avoid flames and sparks and provide proper ventilation of rooms.
•
The battery charger is a device that can cause electric shock. it must be used only by personnel
•
trained on electrical hazards.
Disconnect the supply before making or breaking the connection to the battery.
•
Do not use adapters, reducers or cables reels
•
The power supply must be provided with a grounding system. If not, do not use the equipment until
•
you install a proper system by a qualified electrician.
