3. OPERATION
WARNING!
Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety and operational instructions before connecting the charger power clamps to the battery. Only when
you are sure that you understand the procedures is it safe to proceed with the actual charging process.
3.1.
Status indicators
Four LEDs on the charger front panel indicate status:
Red LED - Clamps have been incorrectly connected to battery - disconnect charger from mains supply and reconnect red clamp to positive battery terminal,
black clamp to negative terminal.
Yellow LED - Battery is being charged but the charging is not complete.
Upper Green LED - Battery is fully charged - disconnect charger from mains supply and
then
from battery.
Lower green LED - Charger is connected to mains supply
3.2.
Output voltage switch - Chargetronic 12/24.V2 only
A rocker switch on the front panel allows selection of either 12 or 24 volt output to suit the battery which is to be charged. The selection should be made prior
to connecting the clamps to the battery.
3.3.
Output fuse
The output fuse is located on the front panel and a spare fuse is clipped into the rear of the charger.
3.4.
Battery charging
3.4.1.
Establish the battery voltage (noting that two 12V batteries in series will require a 24V charge).
3.4.2.
Select appropriate output voltage - Chargetronic 12/24.V2 only.
3.4.3.
Remove battery caps, if possible.
3.4.4.
Connect power clamps to the battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity.
3.4.5.
Connect charger to mains power supply, switch on and ensure lower green LED is illuminated. Confirm that red LED is not illuminated, indicating correct
connections, and that yellow LED is illuminated, indicating that battery is being charged.
3.4.6.
When upper green LED illuminates, indicating that battery is fully charged, disconnect charger from the mains supply and only then remove clamps from
the battery terminals.
3.4.7.
Carefully wipe any spillage of acid from the battery top and replace battery caps, if removed.
3.4.8.
FOR A VERY FLAT BATTERY, DISCONNECT CABLES FROM BATTERY TERMINALS AND ALLOW BATTERY TO REST FOR 30 MINUTES BEFORE
