Installing the charger

Putting the charger into operation

The housing of the charger is designed so that it fits into a 19” rack. The charger can also be installed in a cabinet or similar.

CAUTION! Risks when rack mounting the charger!

When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack assembly, please consider that, during operation, the ambient temper- ature, the mechanical loading and the electrical potentials will be different from those of devices which are not mounted into a rack.

The ambient temperature within the rack, cabinet or similar must not exceed the temperature limit specified in the specifications.

When installing the device, take good care not to affect the ventilation required for safe operation. If necessary, provide additional ventilation.

Make sure the mechanical loading of the rack is even to avoid a hazardous condition.

When connecting the device to the power supply, observe the information indicated on the type plate. Avoid circuit overloading. If necessary, provide overcurrent protection.

Ensure a reliable mains ground connection of the device by taking appropriate measures – especially when you are using an extension cable or a multi-outlet power strip.

When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack assembly, please note that intrinsically harmless leakage currents of the individual devices may accumulate, thereby exceeding the allowable limit value. As a remedy, ground the rack via an additional ground connection.

Use eight screws to fasten the charger.
