5.
Start the motor until it starts running or after 5 seconds. If
the motor is not starting, wait a few minutes before trying
again. This will cool down the charger and battery.
NOTE:
After 3 minutes in the start motor mode, the charger will
enter a 180 seconds cooling period. The yellow / orange LED of
motor start
will blink during the cooling period.
6.
If the motor is not starting, use the adjust 40 A
boost
during 5 minutes before starting again.
7.
After the motor is running, turn the selector into the OFF
position and disconnect the power cable from the alternate
power supply before disconnecting the clamps from the
vehicle battery.
8.
Clean and store the charger in a dry place.
NOTE:
If the motor rotates but is not ON, there is no problem
with the starting system, but in any other part of the vehicle.
STOP starting the motor until the problem is diagnosed and
corrected.
CHARGING TIMES
These times are based in a battery 50% discharged and may
change depending of the age and condition of the battery.
OVERRIDE CHARGE
If the charge cannot be completed normally, the charge will
override. When the charge is interrupted, the charger output is
OFF and the
LED inverted clamps
(RED) will illuminate. Do
not continue trying to charge this battery. Check the battery
and replace if necessary
DESULPHURIZATION MODE
Desulphurization can take 8 to 10 hours. If desulphurization fails,
the charge will be aborted and the
LED inverted clamp
(RED)
will illuminate.
COMPLETING THE CHARGE
Completing the charge is indicated with
LED charging
(GREEN).
When the charger is ON it has passed from the function mode to
the maintenance mode.
MAINTENANCE MODE (FLOATING MODE MONITORING)
When the
LED charging / maintenance
(GREEN) light is
ON, it means it has passed to the maintenance mode. In this
mode the charger keeps the battery totally charged through a
small current when it corresponds. If the charger has to
function to the maximum in continuous current of maintenance,
during a 12-hour period, it will change into the interrupting
mode (see Override charge). This is occasionally caused by a
loss of energy in the battery or the battery is damaged. Make
sure the battery is not leaking charge and if so, prevent it,
otherwise, verify or replace the battery.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The CARBA – 200X charge and maintain 12 V batteries keeping
a full charge.
NOTE:
Technology in maintenance mode allow to charge safely
and keep a battery in good repair during long periods of time.
Mow, problems with the battery, electric problems in the
vehicle, wrong connections or other condition that may arise,
could cause absorption of excessive current. So, occasionally,
follow up your battery performance and the charge process
required.
FAN OPERATION
It is normal for a fan to operate continuously. Keep the area
near the charger with no obstructions to allow the fan to work
correctly.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
You can maintain your charger with minimum care and have it
functioning correctly many years.
• Clean the clamps each time you finish using the charger.
Clean the battery fluid that could have been in contact with
the clamps to prevent corrosion.
• Every now and then, clean the charger housing with a soft
cloth to keep the shiny finish and prevent corrosion.
• Roll carefully the input and output cables when storing the
charger. This will help to prevent accidental damage to the
cables and the charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the alternate current
power supply and in a vertical position.
• Store indoors in a fresh and dry place. Do not store the
clamps in the handle joined with a clip in / or around the
metal or fasten the cables.
