Before connecting or disconnecting the charging cable, unplug AC cord from the mains.
First connect the Red battery clamp to the battery Positive + Pole. Then connect the Black battery clamp to the
Negative – Pole of the battery.
Make sure all the connections are secured, double check on the correct polarity.
Double check again for correct selection of Battery Selection Switch (4) for battery type (default at GEL) and Charging
Current Selection Switch (5) for output current setting (default at 100%)
When install in caravans and similar vehicles, the connection to the supply mains is to be in accordance with national
wiring rules.
When charging automotive batteries:
- The battery terminal not connected to the chassis has to be connected first. The other connection is to be made to the
chassis, remote from the battery and fuel line. The battery charger is then to be connected to the supply mains;
- After charging, disconnect the battery charger from the supply mains. Then remove the chassis connection and then
the battery connection.
Please notice the tightness of the power cables battery clamps to the load. If the cables are not secured well
enough, the total resistance of the connecting cables will increase, resulting in a huge voltage drop between the
battery charger to the load.
D. Normal Multi-Stage (IUoU) Charging Operation
The 7-stage IU0U charge algorithm ensures fast, complete and at the same time gentle charging of the lead acid battery.
Charging Profile
Stage 1.
DESULPHATION charge - The pulse charging
If the initial battery voltage is less than 9V, the charger will start Desulphation mode with pulse charge profile. The Bulk
LED
will lit up with slow flashing.
Stage 2.
SOFT START - The constant current charging
If at the initial bulk charging, the battery voltage is still less than 11V due to deep discharge, the charger will go with soft
charge. The Bulk LED
will lit up with fast flashing. The bulk charge current is reduced to half of the maximum current
until battery voltage rises over the set limit 11V at which point the charger switches to Bulk charge.
In case the battery voltage cannot pass the voltage limit within 2 hours, the charger switches to fault mode and
discontinues the charging.
Stage 3.
BULK CHARGE - The constant current charging
Normally the battery is charged at constant maximum current until it rises to the selected Absorption voltage level.
The charging voltage changes with the battery voltage. Bulk LED
is ON
If the charger cannot go to Absorption mode within 20 hours, the charger will automatically goes to Float mode so to
prevent over charge the battery. This is call safety timer
