CC-1215W Instruction
Manual
Connection Procedure
:
1. Make sure the charger is switched off. Choose suitable wires to connect the charger and batteries based on the rating of max
charging current. Ensure the correct polarity is correct according to the above diagram: charger output (+) should be connected to
the (+) terminal of batteries and charger output (-) should be connected to the (-) terminal.
2. Do not short the (+) and (-) together or the charger and batteries will be damaged.
3.
Ensure the correct input voltage is selected, this is factory set to 230VAC suitable for Australian use.
4.
Set the power switch to on and check whether the operation of LED is correct (red : charging; green : battery is full).
Notes On Operation:
1. The charger is only suitable for "lead-acid" batteries and
not suitable for lead-calcium types
.
2. The must only be used in a place with good ventilation and low moisture. Exposure to rain or snow is strictly prohibited.
3. Battery connecting wires should be kept as short as possible to avoid volt drop which will extend charging time.
4. Make sure that the charging voltage and current is suitable for the batteries you are using.
5. Do not charge different capacity or old and new batteries simultaneously.
6. Turn the charger off when connecting or disconnecting the battery.
7. Never charge a battery if the battery temperature exceeds 50 degrees Celsius.
8. Always monitor the battery occasionally through the charge cycle and disconnect (till cooled) if undue heating is observed.
9. The charger has a two year global warranty; however, damage from misuse is not covered by the warranty.
General Operation:
At the beginning stage of operation, the charger provides its highest r a t e d current with 13.8VDC (nominal) of output voltage to
charge 12V batteries. The LED indicator will be red. After a period of time dependent on size and discharge state of the batteries, the
charging current will decrease gradually. After reaching ~10% of its maximum value, the charger will go into "floating-charge" stage. The
charging voltage will decrease to ~ 13.2Vdc, and the LED indicator will turn to green. The relationship between charging current and
charging voltage for each operation stage are shown in the curves below: Please note that the actual charge voltages and current limiting
may be factory set to order and may differ slightly from that stated here. Check the charger label for details. Batteries mounted in
RVs/caravans will often exceed 50 degrees Celsius during the day in summer months and should not be charged while this hot, night time
charging only is recommended, a timer is useful for this. A lead acid battery not in active use should be charged periodically to counter
self-discharge and acid stratification, a 12hour charge monthly is recommended or if a timer is available about 1 hour every day is better.
