Product catalog summary
Safety Instructions
The Lithium Power Supply (LPS) is classified as Class 9 dangerous goods (UN3480) and must be installed by authorized professionals following national safety regulations. Key safety measures include ensuring the device is off before connections, not opening the device, and avoiding weather exposure. The LPS should not be mounted upside down or on its side and must be transported in its original packaging by trained personnel.
Installation and Maintenance
The LPS II requires secure mounting, preferably with a Clayton Power LPS II bracket, and adequate airflow. A country-specific power cable is included, and the correct type must be used. Maintenance involves periodic charging and ensuring terminals are tightened. The device should be fully charged before storage and recharged every 6 months.
Operation and Features
The LPS II includes energy-saving functions like automatic shutdown when no load is detected. Users can adjust settings for maximum current draw and shutdown delay. It supports adjustable AC and DC charging, jumpstart functionality, and solar charging. The menu system allows configuration of these settings.
Fire Safety and Disposal
In case of fire, extinguish the LPS with water or a CO2 extinguisher. Toxic gases may be emitted during combustion. Batteries must be recycled at approved facilities and not mixed with other waste.
Certifications and Compliance
The LPS II complies with directives such as the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It is protected by various fuses and relays for safety.
Basic Operation
The device is operated via a control panel or remote, with indicators for power status. Users can configure energy saver settings and maximum current through the menu system.
Service and Warranty
Service should be conducted by Clayton Power or authorized providers to maintain warranty. The device contains no user-serviceable parts.
