The following contents are not specified to
your device. They serve for the general
understanding of all HEYNER battery
chargers. Before starting the charging
process, make sure that all switches on
your charger have been set according
to the battery’s specifications.
APPLICATION AREA
Depending on the capacity of your
HEYNER charger batteries of different
vehicle categories may be charged. The
pictograms on the packaging illustrate
the types of vehicle and battery types
that are compatible with your charger.
Caution! Only use your charger to charge
batteries that correspond to the voltage
and capacity of your charger. Please
check the technical specifications of
your battery or contact your battery or
vehicle manufacturer in case of doubt.
We assume no liability when charging
unsuitable batteries.
DESCRIPTION -
ampere | voltage | capacity
•Ampere: Your device and its packaging
shows the maximum power that
the charger can supply to the battery.
This depends on the capacity of the
battery you are going to charge. It
will decrease during the ch
process.
•Voltage: The voltage of the battery
that you want to charge must
correspond with the battery charger’s
voltage. Otherwise the charger may not
be connected to the battery.
Connecting the battery to the charger
will cause battery damage if voltages
don’t match.
•Capacity: If the Ah rating of the battery
falls within the Ah range of the charger,
it is possible to fully recharge the
empty battery within 8 to 10 hours. If
the battery has a higher Ah rating you
may charge it anyway but the charging
process will take significantly longer.
OPERATION
Caution! After the loading process the
charger should be divided manually from
the battery. Please take care of manually
finishing of loading process in time. If
battery charger is connected too long to
battery this will lead to unavoidable
defect of battery.
Connecting the charger to the battery
poles (follow this sequence):
1. Connect the red battery clamp (+) to
the positive (+) battery pole.
2. Connect the black battery clamp (-) to
the negative (-) battery pole.
3. Use the power cord to connect the
charger to a power supply system.
To stop the charging process, consider the
following steps in order:
1. Unplug the power cord of the charger
from the power supply system.
2. Disconnect the black battery clamp (-)
from the negative (-) battery pole.
3. Disconnect the red battery clamp (+)
from the positive (+) battery pole.
N/R Switch ( NORMAL/RAPID laden ):
Depending on the type the battery
charger is equipped with a switch
NORMAL / RAPID load.
• When setting the switch to the
NORMAL position the loading of the
battery will occur with reduced
charging power and enlarged charging
time. This position is intended for
batteries with very low capacities.
NORMAL charging will extend battery
life.
•The RAPID position will supply a
current up to the maximum current.
START:
The charger can support a weak or
discharged battery when starting the
car engine.
• Select the Jump-Start switch position.
• Connect the charger to the battery
and mains as described in the User’s
Manual.
• We recommend to charge the battery
for approx. 10 to 15 minutes before
using.
• Keep the charger connected to the
battery and to the mains when
starting the engine.
• Start the car engine as usual.
• The charger is protected against
overload when starting the engine.
Depending on the current load, an
automatic circuit-breaker will
interrupt the circuit after approx.
10 seconds.
• We recommend to keep the
charger connected to the battery for
approx. 10 to 15 minutes after
starting the engine in order to
minimise any voltage spikes.
• Duration of start is automatically to
1 to 10 seconds. After completing the
JUMP-START process a circuit-breaker
cuts out automatically. To perform
another start, wait for 5 minutes and
reset the circuit-breaker.
Voltage Selector Switch
If your charger does not have a voltage
selector switch: The charger is only
supplied with the specified voltage.
Voltage Selector Switch ( 12V / 24V ):
•The 12 Volt / 24 Volt selector switch
allows you to charge 12 Volt or 24 Volt
batteries.
•Please always make sure that the
charger voltage and battery voltage
match.
•Check the battery voltage before
starting the charging process.
•6-cell batteries typically have a nominal
voltage of 12 V.
•12-cell batteries typically have a
nominal voltage of 24 V.
Ammeter:
The ammeter indicates the battery
charging current. The charging current
supplied to the battery depends on the
battery status. The charging current will
thus never be constant during the entire
charging process but will decrease
gradually as the charging level increases.
When connecting the charger to an
empty battery, the charging current will be
high. The ammeter needle will
indicate a value on the right of the
gauge.
While charging level increases, the
charging current will decrease. The
ammeter needle moves to the left of the
gauge, indicating that the charging
process has finished. The battery is fully
charged.
The ammeter is only an indicator for
monitoring the charging cycle.
REPLACING THE FUSE
Unplug the power cord from the mains
and disconnect the battery clamps from
the battery poles before replacing the
blade-type fuse. The fuse is placed
visibly on the front panel. Remove the
defective fuse (fuse wire broken) and
replace it with a fuse with the same
amperage.
To remove the fuse, insert a screwdriver
into the slot between the fuse and the
fuse holder. Use the screwdriver as a
lever.
Do not apply brute force when replacing
the fuse!
A defective fuse is excluded from
warranty!
You can use standard automotive fuses as
replacement fuses.
WARRANTY TERMS
1. The warranty covers all manufacturing
or material faults. The manufacturer
offers a free-of-charge replacement
(parts or the entire product) for two
years from the date of purchase.
Only the customer is responsible
for the freight charges.
2. Warranty claims will only be accepted
if accompanied by proof of
purchase (invoice or coupon).
3. The warranty does not cover
necessary repairs as a result of an
accident, improper dismantling,
damage due to dropping or shocks,
improper use, or connection to a
higher mains voltage than specified.
4. Under no condition the warranty
does include a right of compensation
and/or refund.
