.
Connection to battery
We advise the use of
bipolar standard connectors
which do not allow reverse polarity on battery.
Check
cable connection in the connector contacts
.
In case of connection to a power supply protected by
Automatic Circuit Breaker, use only SWITCHES with D or K curve.
Check mains voltage and adjust it, if
required, by means of the
adjusting terminal board
on the transformer.
The above check has to be performed by skilled personnel only.

Once mains and battery connections have been performed,
the card performs a lighting test of all LED’s
.
Then the

After the initial charge stage the yellow “FINAL CHARGE” LED will light up. Then an electronic timer starts
counting down the last three hours of final charge.
•
When the final charge time has elapsed, the charger stops automatically and the green “END OF
CHARGING” LED lights up.
