Battery charging
Charging batteries connected to motor
vehicle
1. Before starting to charge the battery,
make sure that the power supply lead is
not plugged into the mains supply.
2. Locate the motor vehicle’s earthing
point, which is normally connected to
the negative battery terminal.
3. Charge a battery with negative earth,
grounded to the motor vehicle’s chassis,
as follows:
• Connect the output lead with the red
clamp to the positive terminal (+) of the
battery.
• Connect the output lead with the black
clamp to the motor vehicle’s earthing
point, keeping it away from the battery
and fuel pipe.
4. Charge a battery with positive earth,
grounded to the motor vehicle’s chassis,
as follows:
• Connect the output lead with the black
clamp to the negative terminal (-) of the
battery.
• Connect the output lead with the red clamp
to the motor vehicle’s earthing point, kee-
ping it away from the battery and fuel pipe.
Connecting batteries that are not connec-
ted to a motor vehicle
1. Before starting to charge the battery,
make sure the power supply lead is not
plugged into the mains supply.
2. Connect the output lead with the red
clamp to the positive terminal (+) of the
battery.
3. Connect the output lead with the black
clamp to the negative terminal (-) of the
battery.
ATTENTION
Make sure that both clamps of the out-
put leads generate a suitable contact
with their corresponding terminals.
Operating battery charger
1. Once the output leads have been connec-
ted to the battery, plug the power supply
lead of the battery charger into the mains
socket, making sure that the voltage
matches the rated voltage of the battery
charger (230V-50Hz); having done this, the
battery charger will emit an acoustic signal
for 0.5 seconds, and all the LED indicators
on the control panel will switch on for 2
seconds; at this stage, the display shows
“ ”.
2. The battery charger is configured in
„stand-by“ mode; for example; ON LED
on, WET LED on, CHARGE 5-30 AH LED
on. The LEDs light up differently based
on the last programme saved.
3. At this stage, with the battery charger in
“stand-by” mode, set the charging pa-
rameters suitable for the type of battery
to be charged, using the keys on the
control panel. The charging parameters
selected are displayed by the corres-
ponding LED, which switches on.
Settable charging parameters:
Function key: (see section A – Operating
Modes: “Function”) depending on the
work cycle, select:
- Flash, Charge or Recovery.
Amperage key: (see section B – Supply
and charging mode: “Amperage”)
Based on the supply current required to
support the battery voltage during repro-
gramming operations, you can select four
different supply currents:
If you select the FLASH feature, you can
choose among the following options:
Flash 10A:
battery charger delivers a
constant current of 10A
Flash 30A:
battery charger delivers a
constant current of 30A
Flash 60A:
battery charger delivers a
constant current of 60A
Flash 120A:
battery charger delivers a
constant current of 120A
Based on the capacity of the battery to charge,
select the CHARGE feature; you can choose
among the following options:
Charge 10Ah – 100Ah:
Supports batteries from 10Ah to 100Ah.
Charge 100Ah – 300Ah:
Supports batteries from 100Ah to 300Ah
Charge 300Ah – 600Ah:
Supports batteries from 300Ah to 600Ah
Charge 600Ah – 1200Ah:
Supports all batteries from 600Ah to
1200Ah.
Volt / Batt key (see section C - “Flash”
supply voltage and supported batteries:
“Volt / Batt.”)
Depending on the supply voltage required
to support the battery voltage during repro-
gramming operations
(ONLY FLASH MODE),
you can select three different supply voltages:
13.8V:
Supply voltage set to 13.8V
14.4V:
Supply voltage set to 14.4V
14.8V:
Supply voltage set to 14.8V
Depending on the construction/type of the
battery
(ONLY CHARGE MODE)
, select: Wet,
LiFePO4 or Agm.
4. Once the charging parameters have
been set, press the START/STOP key
to start charging the battery. When the
START/STOP and CHARGING LEDs light
up, the battery is charging; the display
will show the charging current and the
voltage of the battery.
5. The CHARGING LED remains lit in
phases “I” and “U0” whilst the battery is
charging.
6. When the FULL LED switches on, it
means that the battery is fully charged
(100%), and the charger will switch to the
maintenance phase, keeping the state of
efficiency of the battery constantly mo-
nitored, so that it is always at an optimal
level of charge. In this charging phase,
the appliance can be left connected to
the battery for several months.
7. If you wish to end or interrupt the char-
ging cycle, follow the charge end/inter-
ruption instructions.
