status indicator LED on the front or side panel.
The micro-controller also controls the charging
progress with regards to the temperature of the
charger and time. If a fault occurs in the battery or
the temperature increases, the charging current will
be limited.
INSTALLATION
The ODYSSEY
®
Battery charger is suitable for
indoor and outdoor use.
It can be positioned horizontally on a table or a
shelf, hung on a wall or as a built-in charger in the
vehicle or machinery.
Position the charger in such a way that air
circulation will not be obstructed.
When the charger is fitted on a wall or mounted in
a vehicle it should preferably be vertically mounted
for optimal cooling. The battery charger will get hot
during operation and should therefore be mounted
away from easy accidental contact with the user if
mounted on a vehicle.
