General information
Principle
The main feature of the new Active Inverter Technology is intelligent
charging. This means that the charging behavior adapts itself automatically to
the age and state of charge of the battery. This innovation extends the
battery life and reduces the amount of maintenance required, while at the same
time improving cost-effectiveness.
Active Inverter Technology is based on an inverter with active rectification
and an intelligent safety cut-out. The charging current and voltage are held
constant by a digital control that is not affected by any fluctuations in the
mains voltage.
Device concept
The compact design reduces space requirements and makes portable use
considerably easier. Add to this the fact that the active inverters can be
used “onboard”. In addition to its many existing features, the charger has a
modular design that makes it easy to upgrade; it is therefore ideally equipped
for future requirements. A wide range of options is available.
Warning notices on the device
A number of safety symbols can be seen on the charger’s rating plate. The
safety symbols must not be removed or painted over.
**** Do not use the functions until you have read all the operating
instructions.
Possible sources of ignition, such as fire, sparks and naked flames, must be
kept away from the battery.
Risk of explosion! Oxyhydrogen is generated in the battery during charging.
Battery acid is corrosive and MUST be kept away from eyes, skin and clothes.
Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air during charging. Maintain a distance of
at least 0.5 m (19.69 in.) between battery and charger during the charging
procedure.
Do not dispose of used chargers with domestic waste. Dispose of them according
to safety rules.
