Safety measures
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference! It contains important information,
which must be observed when installing and maintaining the SunSaver charge controller
and the batteries.
Charge controller
WARNING: Risk of electric shock
•
The nominal voltage and the nominal current strength of the charge controller must
not be exceeded. The charge controller must only be used with a 12 V battery.
•
Do not short circuit the solar panel and the loads while they are connected to the
charge controller, as this damages the charge controller.
•
Protect the charge controller against direct sunlight and ensure adequate space for
air circulation around the charge controller.
•
Only use copper wires with a minimum insulation rating for 75 °C and minimum cross-
2
section of 4 mm
.
Batteries
WARNING: Risk of electric shock at the battery
When installing batteries, please note that there is a risk of personal injury due to short
circuits and damage may be caused to the system.
•
Take particular care when installing the batteries in the control cabinet.
•
Avoid short circuits between the [+] and [–] battery poles, e.g., caused by a tool or
control cabinet parts.
•
Only use insulated tools.
•
When installing the battery, connect the positive pole [+] first. When removing the
battery, disconnect the negative pole [–] first.
•
Make sure that the connection cables are fitted securely.
•
Do not lift up or pull the battery at the battery poles.
•
Avoid shocks and sudden loads on the battery.
•
Despite the very low gas emission of the battery, do not install any sparking parts
(switches, relays or similar) in the direct vicinity of the battery.
•
If the battery is operated at its operating temperature limits, this may reduce the
service life of the battery (depending on duration, charge, etc.).
