5.1.
BATTERY CHARGING (Refer to fig.4)
5.1.1. Establish the battery voltage (noting that two 12V batteries in series will require a
24V charge), capacity and required charging current (see para.3.1.2.).
5.1.2.
Ensure power clamps are electrically isolated from each other and that the
auxiliary (cigarette lighter) plug is protected with the insulating sleeve provided.
5.1.3. Connect booster/charger to mains power supply, switch on (switch at rear of unit) and
ensure Off LED is illuminated.
5.1.4. Press keys 1 (voltage), 2 (mode) and 3 (charging current) to select required output.
Note:
If battery is to be disconnected for charging and power is required to maintain vehicle
electronics, plug Stand-by auxiliary cable into cigarette lighter socket. Then disconnect
earth strap/cable from battery negative (-) teminal.
p
WARNING!
If positive cable also has to be disconnected (battery removal) remember
that this cable will be live even after disconnection,due to Stand-by supply, and must be
insulated from surrounding metalwork/tools - secure heavy gauge plastic bag over cable end.
Remove negative (-) cable BEFORE removing positive (+) cable to reduce the risk of sparking.
5.1.5. Connect power clamps to the battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity.
5.1.6. Finally, double check correct polarity of power clamps and then press ON key (4). Charging will now operate automatically.
5.2.
ENGINE STARTING
5.2.1. As steps 5.1.1. to 5.1.3. above.
5.2.2. Connect power clamps to the battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity.
5.2.3. Press keys 1(voltage), 2 (mode), 3 (charging current), and 4 (on) to deliver a brief charge to the battery. Select voltage display (key 6)
and check for increase in output voltage.
Note:
Do not attempt to start engine with booster/charger if battery has been disconnected
5.2.4. When an increase in output voltage is noted, press key 2 to switch from Charge to Boost.
5.2.5. Operate the vehicle starter (nothing will happen until the starter is operated) and the booster/charger will deliver cycles of 5 seconds
starting current, followed by 20 seconds out of service time.
s
CAUTION!
The out of service time may be shortened by switching the booster/charger Off and then On again. However doing this
may well cause overheating. Therefore we recommend that the 20 second out of service time is maintained when repeatedly trying to
start a stubborn engine.
5.3.
WHEN CHARGING/STARTING IS COMPLETE
5.3.1. When battery is charged/engine started,
switch the booster/charger to Off
.
5.3.2. Detach power clamps from battery terminals.
Do not
remove power clamps while the booster/charger is On.
5.3.3. Carefully wipe any spillage of acid from the battery top and replace the caps.
5.3.4. Refit battery, if removed, and reconnect battery cable(s), if disconnected.
5.3.5. Disconnect the auxiliary cable if used.
5.3.6. Switch booster/charger off at mains switch on rear of unit and then switch off and disconnect mains supply.
5.3.7. Ensure all tools and other items are removed before closing the engine/battery compartment.
5.3.8. Ensure the booster/charger is clean, and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
5.4.
CHARGING MORE THAN ONE BATTERY
Simultaneous charging of several batteries may be made. This procedure must however be performed with
great caution
, and additional
equipment will be required. Contact your Sealey dealer for information.
p
WARNING!
DO NOT simultaneously charge different types of batteries or batteries with different capacities or levels of discharge.
