FACTORY SETUP
The charger is delivered with a factory setup as follows:
Profile: As
ordered
Output DC cable length:
3 m
Configuration: As
ordered
Automatic equalisation:
No
Delayed start enabled:
No
•
If no modifications are required, go directly to the section:
Charging the battery
.
•
If changes are required, go to the
Configuration
section.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
It is now assumed that the charger has been set up as per the
Configuration section. Charging can only begin with a battery of the
appropriate type, capacity and voltage connected to the charger.
Off-charge display
With the charger in waiting mode, the display shows information
concerning the charger (top and bottom lines):
1.
Charger type (
Battery v current
).
2.
Last selected charging profile.
3.
Software version.
4.
Waiting indication.
5.
Date and time of the charge.
6.
Set up battery operating temperature.
Alternating battery temperature/capacity if the ‘manu’ capacity mode
is selected.
Delayed start
If the charger was programmed for a delayed start (
Configuration
menu/Delayed start), charging will begin following that delay. or at
the specified time. The display shows the time remaining before the
programmed charging starts.
Starting a desulphation cycle before charging
Desulphation of a vented battery is started manually, in this case the
charger will consider the configuration in the menu Equalisation with the
current and time set up in the charger menu. To start the desulphation
charge, please proceed as follows.
1.
Connect the battery
2.
Press the central button to stop the charger.
3.
Press and hold the button .
4.
Press the central button to start the charger.
Release .
The standard charging cycle will have to be started manually after the
desulphation cycle is completed.
Initiating the equalisation charge after a standard
charge
An equalisation charge can be programmed at the end of charge when
the user presses the button during the standard charge or when the
battery is available. The equalisation symbol appears on the top, left side
of the display. The equalisation current is defined by the charger.
Starting the charge
1.
If Autostart = On (default ON), the charge starts automatically when
the battery is connected to the charger. To stop the charge, press
the central button .
If Autostart = OFF the charge will start only if the central button is
pressed. To stop the charge, press the central button .
The displays shows information relative to the connected battery
and counts down the time remaining until the effective charge
begins.

As soon as the countdown time has elapsed, the display shows the
information relative to the charge.
To induce the start of the charge if the delayed charge has been pro-
grammed:
1.
Connect the battery
2.
Press the central button to stop the charger.
3.
Press and hold the central button for 3 seconds. Release.
Defaults
DF1, DF2, DF3
and
TH
inhibit the charge. Refer to section
Fault

.
End of charge without equalisation
1.
The backlight of the screen becomes green at the end of a correct
charge.
And the indication
AVAIL
is displayed. Possible alternating display
between DF5 default and pump default and DF4 (ref.1). The displays
shows alternately: (ref. 2):
• charging time achieved.
• number of Ah restored.
Refer to sections
Memorisations
or
Status
for detailed information
relevant to the end of charge.
If the battery remains connected, and in order to maintain it in a
fully charged condition, refresh charges followed by equalisation
charges will be automatically initiated according to the battery
technology.
2.
If an equalisation charge has been programmed (vented battery), it
will start automatically.
Alternatively, an equalisation charge can be
triggered manually; go to section
End of charge with equalisation
.
3.
Press the central button or disconnect the battery that is now ready
for use.
End of charge with equalisation
Equalisation only applies to vented batteries. Start can be manual or
automatic.
Manual start
1.
At the end of charge (green lighted display on), press the key .
The start of the equalisation charge is indicated by the message
EQUAL
. During the equalisation charge, the charger displays the
current (ref 4) and alternating, the battery voltage, voltage per cell,
remaining time (ref 2).
2.
The battery will be available as soon as the screen becomes green.
