During operation of HP-COMPACT, high voltages are generated at the connections and inside of the appliance which could be lethal. Work on the appliance and on the installation should only be carried out by skilled and trained people.

The whole installation connected with the HP-COMPACT must comply with the rules and codes in force.

People without the written authorization from STUDER INNOTEC are strictly forbidden to carry out any change or repair on the appliances. For authorized changes only original parts are to be used.

The HP-COMPACT may only be used when it has been installed in accordance with these instructions and all parts have been correctly assembled and installed.

The HP-COMPACT may only be connected to lead-acid or lead-gel batteries.

Caution: Even when a HP-COMPACT has been disconnected from all connections, at the OUTPUT point there could still be deadly voltages present. To remove these voltages you must switch on the HP-COMPACT ON with the ON/OFF switch. After one minute the electronics are discharged and any work can now be safely carried out.

The HP-COMPACT is only suitable for internal use and under no circumstances should it be subjected to snow, rain, or any other wet conditions.

By installations in motorized vehicles the HP-COMPACT must be protected from water- spray and any other wet conditions.

Caution: In normal use lead-acid and lead-gel batteries give out explosive gases. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of batteries. The batteries must always be stored or placed in a well ventilated room, they should be placed in such a way that there is no danger of short-circuit through carelessness. Never charge frozen batteries.

1.6Special precautions

While working on batteries there should always be a second person close to you or within your voice range, in case help is needed.

Plenty of fresh water and soap must be ready at hand so that in case of acid coming in contact with skin, eyes and clothes, the areas in question can be thoroughly washed.

If acid enters the eyes, you must thoroughly wash them with cold running water for at least 15 minutes. It is recommended that you immediately consult a medical doctor.

Baking powder neutralizes battery acid electrolyte. Always keep some at hand.

Special care must be taken when working with metal tools near or on the batteries. With tools such as screwdrivers, spanners etc. short-circuits can result. Sparks produced by the short-circuit can cause an explosion.

When working on batteries all personal metal items such as rings, necklaces and bracelets must be removed. Batteries are so powerful that short-circuit with these items can melt them and thus cause severe burns. Always follow the battery manufacturer instructions.
