OPERATION AND USE
BATTERY CAPACITY SELECTION (FIG.3.):
Rotate dial
(G)
until the batteries Ah (amp
hour) rating is displayed (30 - 200Ah). The Ah
rating is usually marked on the battery by the
voltage information. Once set the charger will
input the appropriate current into the battery
according to it's size/capacity.
NOTE:
On all maintenance type batteries, remove the
filler caps and adjust the levels before
commencing charging. Failure to remove the
caps could lead to a build up of the explosive
gases which are released during charging.
Stand the battery on a suitable surface, in a
well ventilated area.
After the charge cycle is complete the display
will read 'END'. When this point is reached and
if the charger is left connected the buffer
function will monitor the voltage and if
necessary recommence a trickle charge to
keep the battery at the optimum level. During
the charge period, occasionally check the
battery condition is good. When charging is
complete, press the switch to the '0 - Off'
position. Disconnect the charger leads and
refit the battery as appropriate.
NOTE:
Ensure the maintenance caps (if applicable)
are replaced and tight.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
(FIG.4.):
The thermal overload protection will activate
if a problem is detected to prevent the unit
overheating. When 'H00' is displayed the
charge current will stop until the unit has
cooled down.
