10 Maintenance

The PROTECT 1. consists of state-of-the-art, non-wearing components. We do, however, recommend visual checks (above all battery and fan checks) at regular intervals (at least every 6 months) to maintain continuous availability and operational reliability.

CAUTION!

Ensure that the work area is cordoned off and always observe the safety instructions!

10.1Charging the Battery

The battery is automatically charged when the mains is connected, irrespective of the operating mode. This is signalled by the Load LED’s lighting up (see also chapter 4.4.2).

The complete charging time of the battery after a long discharge time depends especially on the number of additional external battery units (see chapter 2.3).
