23) The battery charger tolerance thresholds, as far as levels of over-voltage
and overcharging are concerned, are used only for the safeguarding of the
systems of the same and have no safety functions for the battery itself, the
safety of which depends solely on the BMS, even when the battery charger
is connected to the battery, whether the latter is being charged or not.
24) Should the client want to use the battery charger on a specic on-board
system or in any special usage case, it is the client’s responsibility to inform
S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE, so that the latter can draw up any
necessary recommendations. In this case, the client must provide S.P.E.
ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE with all designs, diagrams, and descriptive
material necessary. S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE cannot be held
responsible for any damage resulting from the use of the battery charger
after opening it and/or modifying it and/or inserting it into other systems.
25) Under no circumstances can S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE be held
responsible for the malfunctioning of the batteries or the incineration/
explosion of these, in so much as the safety of the battery is the task of the
BMS and not of the battery charger.
CHECKING CABLES, GRID, EARTHING
26) Do not transport the battery charger by pulling on the cables as they could
be damaged. Use the handles on the battery charger, if provided.
27) Before using the battery charger, check that the sleeving on the mains
cable and battery cables are in good condition. Should one of the cables be
damaged, have it replaced by a S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE qualied
technician.
28) Check that the input voltage of the battery charger given on the data plate is
in line with the voltage available.
29) Check the compatibility of the mains plug supplied with the battery charger:
the use of adaptors is not recommended (in Canada it is against the law).
This charger is provided with cord set for connection to outlets operating
at nominal 120 Volts (or 240 Volts as appropriate). If the input plug
does not t the power outlet, contact S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE
for the proper cord set terminating in an attachment plug of the proper
conguration for the power outlet.
30) The battery charger must be plugged into a socket tted with an earth wire.
Should the socket not be equipped with an earth connection, do not use the
device before having a suitable socket installed by a qualied technician.
31) The power socket to which the battery charger is to be connected must
