Connecting to a Vehicle Battery
Before charging make sure the battery terminals are really clean
as grease and dust could lead to poor connection. The battery
MUST be disconnected prior to cleaning. Check the battery and
connections for any cracks or damage before proceeding with
cleaning and charging. To help ensure a good connection of the
battery charger terminal clamps, clean the battery terminals with a
solution of baking soda and water, and wipe the battery terminals
with a cloth to remove any dirt and grease.
1. With the vehicle engine not
running, connect the red
positive terminal clamp to
the positive ( + ) pole on your
vehicle 12V battery.
2. Connect the black negative
terminal clamp to an
unpainted piece of metal on
the bodywork away from the
battery.
3. Connect the charger to a mains power socket. All the LEDs will
flash for a short time. Then the 12V CHARGING LED will shine
continuously as soon as the charging status of the battery is
indicated.
3. BATTERY CONNECTION & CHARGING
OPERATION
OCBC-200
WARNING!
UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES THE
NEGATIVE BATTERY POLE IS CONNECTED TO THE
BODYWORK AND YOU PROCEED AS DESCRIBED
ABOVE. IN EXCEPTIONAL CASES IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT THE POSITIVE BATTERY POLE IS CONNECTED
TO THE BODYWORK (POSITIVE EARTHING). IN THIS
CASE, CONNECT THE BLACK CHARGER CABLE TO THE
NEGATIVE POLE ON THE BATTERY. THEN CONNECT THE
RED CHARGER CABLE TO THE BODYWORK AT A POINT
AWAY FROM THE BATTERY.
4. Press the mode button to set the
charging functions:
Note:
One of the
Mode Status
LED’s
will illuminate in accordance with
the settings you have selected.
5. Battery charging LED’s will blink in succession until the battery
is fully charged (provided it is not defective).
6. The battery is fully charged when battery status LED’s are
illuminated continuously.
Note:
If only the 12V CHARGING LED flashes, this
means that although the charger is connected to
the mains power socket, it is not connected to the
battery.
Note:
If the charger shows “Battery fully charged” (all battery
charging LED’s blink in succession) after just a few minutes, this
indicates that the battery capacity is low.
The battery needs replacing.
WARNING!
CHARGING MAY CREATE DANGEROUS
EXPLOSIVE GAS AND THEREFORE YOU SHOULD AVOID
SPARK FORMATION AND NAKED FLAMES WHILST THE
BATTERY IS CHARGING. THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION!
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU VENTILATE THE ROOMS
WELL.
Disconnecting from a Vehicle Battery (Finished Charging
the Battery)
1. Remove battery charger from mains power socket.
2. Remove the black negative terminal clamp from the bodywork.
3. Remove the red positive terminal clamp from the positive ( + )
pole of the vehicle battery.
WARNING!
IN CASE OF POSITIVE EARTHING, FIRST
DISCONNECT THE RED POSITIVE TERMINAL CLAMP
FROM THE BODYWORK AND THEN THE BLACK
NEGATIVE TERMINAL CLAMP FROM THE NEGATIVE (
–
)
POLE OF THE VEHICLE BATTERY.
WARNING!
IF THE BATTERY CHARGERS MAINS PLUG
IS PULLED OUT BUT THE CHARGER CABLES ARE STILL
CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY, THE CHARGER WILL
DRAW OFF A SMALL AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY FROM
THE BATTERY. WE THEREFORE RECOMMEND THAT YOU
ALWAYS COMPLETELY REMOVE THE CHARGER FROM
THE BATTERY WHEN NOT IN USE.
WARNING!
IF THE BATTERY IS STILL FITTED TO
A MOTOR VEHICLE, MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE
ELECTRONICS ARE TURNED OFF, AND THAT THE
IGNITION IS TURNED OFF.
