2.4 Warnings and notes
2.4.1
GENERAL
This manual is an integral part of the device and must be kept available for the operator
and installer. It must remain close to the installation so that it may be consulted at any time.
The configuration table available at the end of the manual (p. 34) must be kept up to date in the
event of modification of the configurations by the operator or installer. The person in charge of
installation and commissioning must be wholly familiar with the precautionary measures and the
local applicable regulations.
When the Xtender is running, it generates voltage that can be potentially lethal. Work on or
close to the installation must only be carried out by thoroughly trained and qualified
personnel. Do not attempt to carry out ongoing maintenance of this product yourself. The
Xtender or the generator connected to it may start up automatically under certain
predetermined conditions.
When working on the electrical installation, it is important to be certain that the source of
DC voltage coming from the battery as well as the source of AC voltage coming from a
generator or network have been disconnected from the electrical installation.
Even when the Xtender has been disconnected from the supply sources (AC and DC), a
dangerous voltage may remain at the outputs. To eliminate this risk you must switch the
Xtender OFF using the ON/OFF button (1). After 10 seconds the electronics is discharged
and intervention may take place without any danger.
All elements connected to the Xtender must comply with the applicable laws and regulations.
Persons not holding written authorisation from Studer Innotec are not permitted to proceed with any
change, modification or repairs that may be required. Only original parts may be used for authorised
modifications or replacements.
This manual contains important safety information. Read the safety and working instructions
carefully before using the Xtender. Adhere to all the warnings given on the device as well as in the
manual, by following all the instructions with regard to operation and use.
The Xtender is only designed for interior use and must under no circumstances be subjected to rain,
snow or other humid or dusty conditions.
The maximum specifications of the device shown on the type plate, as at fig. 1b, must be adhered
to.
In the event of use in motorised vehicles, the Xtender must be protected from dust, splash water
and any other humid condition. It must also be protected from vibration by installing absorbent parts.

RECAUTIONS FOR USING THE BATTERIES
Lead-acid or gel batteries produce a highly explosive gas with normal use. No source of sparks or
fire should be present in the immediate vicinity of the batteries. The batteries must be kept in a well-
ventilated place and be installed in such a way as to avoid accidental short-circuits when connecting.
