OPERATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
Suitable for 12V normal lead acid, sealed lead acid, gel, AGM and deep cycle
batteries between 14 - 230Ah and with 230VAC 50/60Hz circuit.
Preparing the battery
•
Make sure you have a 12V normal lead acid, sealed lead acid, gel, AGM and deep
cycle battery and read battery user manual carefully.
•
First remove the caps from each cell and check that the level of the liquid is sufficient
in each cell. If it is below the recommended level, top up with de-ionized or distilled
water.
Note:
Under no circumstances should tap water be used. The cell caps should not be
replaced until charging is complete. This allows any gases formed during charging to
escape. It is inevitable that some minor escape of acid will occur during charging.
For permanently sealed battery, it is not necessary to carry out the above checks.
•
Cleaning your battery terminals. Take care to keep corrosion from coming in contact
with your eyes.
•
Be sure area around battery is well ventilated in charging process. When battery is
being charged you may notice bubbling in the fluid cause by battery generated
explosive gases during charging duration.
Connecting
•
Connect the positive charging lead (red) to the positive terminal post of the battery
(marked P or +). Connect the negative charging lead (black) to the negative terminal
post of the battery (marked N or -). It is important to ensure that both DC clamps are
making good contact with their respective terminal posts.
•
When using the AS1210 as a charger for car batteries installed in the car please do
not connect the minus „-“ directly with battery but on the chassis of the car. Please
make sure that the AC plug is not plugged in. The power has to be disconnected.
Please then connect the positive charging lead (red) to the positive terminal post of
the battery. As a next step please connect the negative charging lead (black) with the
