Date: 10/16 ECN: 21270 i Important Safety Instructions Before using this equipment read all manuals and other documents related to this unit and other equipment connected to this unit. Always have a copy of a units manual on file nearby, in a safe place; if a replacement copy of a manual is needed it can be found at www.lamarchemfg.com. Electrical Safety WARNING: Hazardous Voltages are present at the input of power systems. The output from rectifiers and from batteries may be low in voltage, but can have a very high current capacity that may cause severe or even fatal injury. When working with any live battery or power system, follow these precautions:  Never work alone on any live power systems; someone should always be close enough to come to your aid.  Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches.  Wear complete eye protection (with side shields) and clothing protection.  Always wear gloves and use insulated hand tools. WARNING: Lethal Voltages are present within the power system. Parts inside the unit may still be energized even when the unit has been disconnected from the AC input power. Check with a meter before proceeding. Do not touch any uninsulated parts.  A licensed electrician should be used in the installation of any unit.  Always disconnect the unit from the supply, batteries and loads before performing maintenance or cleaning.  If the unit is hot-swappable, simply remove it from the shelf for any maintenance or cleaning.  Always assume that an electrical connection is live and check the connection relative to ground.  Be sure that neither liquids nor any wet material come in contact with any internal components.  Do not operate this unit outside the input and output ratings listed on the unit nameplate.  Do not use this unit for any purpose not described in the operation manual. Mechanical Safety  This unit or parts of the unit may get very hot during normal operation, use care when working nearby.  Do not expose equipment to rain or snow. Always install in a clean, dry location.  Do not operate equipment if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.  Do not disassemble this unit. Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Battery Safety WARNING: Follow all of the battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working with or around battery systems. DO NOT smoke or introduce a spark or open flame in the vicinity of a battery. Some batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation.  To reduce risk of arc, connect and disconnect the battery only when the unit is off.  If it is necessary to remove battery connections, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first.  Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches.  Always wear rubber gloves, safety glasses, and a rubber lined vest/apron when working near a battery.  Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case the battery electrolyte contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.  If the battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.  If the electrolyte enters the eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least ten (10) minutes and seek medical attention immediately.  Do not drop metal on a battery. A spark or short-circuit could occur and could cause an explosion. ii Unit Location  Allow at least 3 inches of free air on all vented surfaces (and external heatsinks) for proper cooling.  Allow sufficient clearance to open the front panel for servicing.  Do not operate this unit in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.  Do not set any battery on top of this unit.  Never allow battery electrolyte to drip on this unit when reading the specific gravity or filling the battery.  Never place this unit directly above a standard flooded battery. Gases from the battery will corrode and damage equipment.  A sealed maintenance free or valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery may be placed below this equipment.
