INSTALLATION
Find a suitable place for installation of the charger, in a distance from the battery, which does not exceed the enclosed 12V-charger cable
length on 1,5m. If the charger cable is extended or cut, the charger will charge with wrong voltage. If the 12V cable is extended, you have
to use a cable with a larger cross-section. If you double the length the cross-section on the cable also has to be doubled. Connection
to the battery must always be made with the enclosed fuse. Make sure the battery charger is not placed too close to hot parts such as
exhaust manifold, turbo and so on. It must also be positioned well clear of moving parts such as pulleys, cooling fan and steering rods.
12V System
Fasten the charger using one or more of the fastening methods. The charger can either be fastened by screws or cables ties.
The top flap can be bent out for more flexible installation.
24V System
When charging a 24V system you have to use two 12V chargers. On the 230V side two chargers may be connected directly together
or you may place the chargers separate with a PlugIn cable in between. It is most important that each charger secures using a fuse
and is connected to separate batteries. The 12V outlet on the charger must not be series circuit.
It is most important that the charger is installed in accordance with the installation guide and that DEFA´s original
connection equipment is used, see specific installation guide.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Some vehicles have a battery monitoring system. Connect ground according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommendation.
USE
• The charger can be used in both 12- and 24V systems.
• In 24V system, two chargers have to be used, see the wiring diagram.
• The charger has advanced electronics that makes it possible to stay connected to 230V continuously.
When charging, batteries must have periodically inspection.
• Temperature compensated charging voltage makes sure that the charging voltage for the battery is optimal
under all conditions.
• The LED at the top of the charger is blinking with a green light when the battery is charging.
When the battery is fully charged, the LED will be continuously lit. The LED will blink with a red light if there is an error.
• The charger has a 230V outlet which might be used to connect two chargers, or as an outlet for other DEFA equipment.
• The charger is short circuit- and polarity protected, assumed that the enclosed fuse is installed.
• Charging of batteries in closed areas must be avoided cause of explosion danger.
The charger contents of high voltage current and must therefore not be opened or drilled in.
