1. Before you start to harge the battery, make sure the power supply lead is NOT plugged into the mains.
2. Lo ate the vehi le’s earth pole, whi h is generally onne ted to the negative terminal.
3. Charging a battery with negative terminal grounded to the vehi le’s hassis.
• Conne t the output lead with red lamp to the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
• Conne t the output lead with bla k lamp to the vehi le’s earthing, keeping it away from the battery and from the
fuel pipe.
4. Charging a battery with positive terminal grounded to the vehi le’s hassis.
• Conne t the output lead with bla k lamp to the negative terminal (-) of the battery.
• Conne t the output lead with red lamp to the vehi le’s earthing, keeping it away from the battery and the fuel pipe.
Charging batteries that are not connected to a vehic e
1. Before you start to harge the battery, make sure the power supply lead is NOT plugged into the mains.
2. Conne t the output lead with red lamp to the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
3. Conne t the output lead with bla k lamp to the negative terminal (-) of the battery.
ATTENTION Make sure both lamps of the output leads generate a suitable onta t with their orresponding
terminals.
HOW TO USE THE BATTERY CHARGER
1. With the battery harger in “stand-by” mode “0”, set the harging parameters suitable for the type of battery to be
harged using the keys on the ontrol panel.
Settable harging parameters:
• Battery Vo tage key: based on the voltage of the battery, sele t: 12Volt or 24Volt.
• Veich e Type key: based on the apa ity of the battery end vehi le type: MIN -MAX, CAR-VAN/TRUCK.
• Function Type key: Automati : for automati harging pro ess. Manual enable automati fun tion. Following the
AUTOMATIC CHARGE FUNCTION instru tions and MANUAL CHARGE FUNCTION instru tions
• Charge/Start Type key: Charge: for harge the vehi le battery, Start: for starting the vehi le
2. On e you have onne ted the output leads to the battery (Set the harger voltage 12V or 24V a ording to the
nominal voltage of the battery being harged, by moving the red able to the appropriate terminal), plug the power
supply lead of the battery harger into the mains, making sure the voltage mat hes the nominal voltage of the battery
harger (230V-50Hz).
3. When the LEDs light up, it means that the battery is being harged; the display will show the harging urrent.
4. The 30% and 60% LED remains lit in phases “IW” while the battery is harging.
5. When the 100% FULL LED swit hes on, it means that the battery is fully harged (100%) and the battery harger
will swit h to the maintenan e phase (only with Automati key sele ted), keeping the state of effi ien y of the battery
onstantly monitored so that it is always at an optimal level of harge.
6. If you wish to end or interrupt the harging y le, following the end-of- harging instru tions.
AUTOMATIC CHARGE FUNCTION
It is possible to harge buffer, auto and tra tion, free, restrained or gelatinous ele trolyte batteries, so the applian e
is suited for lead Wet, Dry, Agm, Gel batteries without maintenan e.
By means of a mi ropro essor, the automati harge system of this battery harger an he k the battery voltage
parameters.
The he k and the exe ution of harge y le is arried out in two distin t phases: the first one follows the
hara teristi W urve at de reasing urrent, in a ordan e with standard DIN 41774; the se ond phase arries out
a ording to the hara teristi urve Wa at ontrolled and timed voltage and following the maintenan e phase also
at float voltage and timed limit.
This last phase serves to keep onstant the harge level of the battery, avoiding the auto-dis harge of it or the
dis harge due to a onne ted permanent load.
The battery harger has an ele troni prote tion against short- ir uit, polarity inversion and battery voltage wrong
with respe t to the ones of the applian e. If it happens, reset the system.
To reset the battery harger, dis onne t the harge terminals from the battery, turn the swit h 1-0-2 (if present) on 0
and re onne t the battery ables orre tely.
The various harge stages indi ated by led messages are shown in the following illustriations:
Fig. 1 First stage of harge, red led on, battery dis harged at V/el batt. <2,2V.
Fig. 2 Se ond stage of harge, red and yellow leds on, battery medium harged at V/el batt. =2,25V.
Fig. 3 Third stage of harge, red, yellow and green leds on, battery harged and begin of timer; V/el batt. 2,45V .
Fig. 4 Sequential flashing of three leds, first red, then yellow and then green; end of first harge phase. Begin of
maintenan e phase.
MANUAL CHARGE FUNCTION
WARNING! This batterycharger is provided with a switch for a manua or automatic charge.
When the swit h is in manual position the automati harge is disabled.
DO NOT OVERCHARGE! This is not an automati metod of harging. You must frequently monitor the harging
pro ess (Fig. 1-2-3-4) to ensure the battery is not over harged. Over hanging will damage the battery.
Fig. 1 First stage of harge, red led on, battery dis harged at V/el batt. <2,2V.
Fig. 2 Se ond stage of harge, red and yellow leds on, battery medium harged at V/el batt. =2,25V.
Fig. 3 Third stage of harge, red, yellow and green leds on, battery harged and begin of timer; V/el batt. 2,45V .
Fig. 4 Sequential flashing of three leds, first red, then yellow and then green; turn the swit h to “OFF”, and/or
dis onne t the feed able from the mains power outlet.
START FUNCTION
In battery hargers with the START fun tion, help in starting the vehi le is possible whenever the battery does not
have enough power to turn the starter motor. It is advisable to arry out a fast battery harge before swit hing to the
start the engine..
