(EN) Charger Installation Procedures And Cautions
IMPORTANT:
(EN) As battery technology has developed please verify that this product is suitable for charging your Gel, AGM, VRLA or Deep Cycle Lead Acid Batteries. Do not
use this product on Automotive Starting Batteries. Ensure your battery can be bulk charged at a CC/CV , Constant Current of 10 Amps / Constant Voltage of
14.4VDC and a float voltage of 13.6VDC. You are responsible for determining the suitability of this charger for your battery and your particular Application.
Do not use this product if your application has a parasitic load such as PLC's and the load exceeds 2.5 amps as the charger will remain in a bulk mode charge of
14.4VDC causing the batteries to gas excessively.
This Charger may not start below 5VDC, ensure that you maintain your battery in a reasonable state of Charge.
For non "maintenance free" batteries, (Deep Cycle Lead Acid Batteries) the electrolyte fluid level should be checked at least once a month whether the equipment
is in use or extended operational pause. Use only distilled water to replenish the electrolyte fluid. Refer to your battery manufacturers specifications for details. Do
not leave discharged batteries for more than a day or two without recharging. They undergo a chemical process referred to as sulphating. Sulphating is the build
up of dry sulphuric acid on the lead plates of the battery, a common sign of sulphating is the sides of the battery are bulging. These batteries may be permanently
damaged and very difficult to recharge. Always periodically recharge batteries even when they are not in use.
Do not install electronic or electrical equipment including this battery charger in the battery compartment. Lead acid batteries emit hydrogen and oxygen gases
during recharging, therefore, you must vent the battery compartment to prevent these gases from accumulating. Never smoke or use open flame when working
around batteries. Always wear appropriate safety apparel, including eye protection, when handling or working around batteries. Follow all electrical and safety
codes to ensure a safe installation.
When installing and connecting the charger to the batteries, connections to the battery or battery posts must be made via appropriate SB type connectors or
permanent ring lugs that provide a reliable low-resistance connection. Alligator clips are not a suitable connection. Clean your batteries' contacts regularly. Mount
the charger in a dry location that is free from vibration and offers sufficient ventilation. Slots and openings have been added to the cabinet for the purpose of
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the charger, and to prevent it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.
