Do not ever start the engine while charging the accumulator.
Before each use check the conditions of the rectifier, including the conditions of the power cord and the charging conductors.
Should any damage be detected, stop using the rectifier. Damaged cables and conductors must be replaced with new ones in a
professional workshop.
Before any maintenance of the rectifier is executed, make sure the plug of the power cord has been disconnected from power
supply socket.
The rectifier must be stored away from unauthorised persons, particularly children. Also during work make sure the rectifier is
placed outside the reach of unauthorised persons, particularly children.
Before connecting the terminals of the rectifier, make sure the terminals of the accumulator are clean and free from corrosion.
Provide the best possible electric contact between the terminal of the accumulator and the terminal of the rectifier.
Do not ever charge a frozen accumulator. Before you commence charging, move the accumulator to a place in which the electro-
lyte may totally defrost. Do not heat accumulators in order to accelerate defrosting.
Preclude any leakage from accumulators. Any leakage from the accumulator on the rectifier may cause a short-circuit and thus an
electric shock, which may be dangerous for health and life.
OPERATION OF THE RECTIFIER
Preparation of the battery for charging
Get acquainted with the charging instructions provided along with the battery and observe them. In the case of the so called „wet”
acid-lead batteries” it is necessary to check the level of electrolyte and, if required, replenish it with distilled water to the level
indicated in the documentation of the battery. While replenishing the level of electrolyte, observe strictly the recommendations
indicated in the documentation of the battery.
The rectifier has been designed uniquely for charging the so called „wet”, gel or AGM acid-lead batteries.
The rectifier is equipped with exchangeable connections:
- alligator clamps – to charge most batteries,
- eye clamps – to fix the terminals of the rectifier to the battery terminals,
- vehicle electrical installation socket – to feed devices equipped with an adequate plug,
- vehicle electrical installation plug – to charge batteries through vehicle electrical installation socket or to maintain the power
supply in the vehicle electrical installation once the battery has been dismounted. Before operation in this mode commences, it is
necessary to get acquainted with the documentation of the vehicle.
Connect the selected terminals to the socket of the rectifier. The plug of the terminals and the socket of the rectifier have a protru-
sion permitting a correct connection.
Connect the terminals of the rectifier to the terminals of the battery, make sure the terminal of the rectifier marked with a „+” is
connected to the terminal of the battery marked with a „+”, and the terminal of the rectifier marked with a „-” is connected to the
terminal of the battery marked with a „-”.
Connect the plug of the power cord to the power supply socket. For a moment all the diodes of the control panel will go on, and
then only the diode below the power supply symbol should remain lit.
Using the „MODE” switch, select the required mode of operation, which is confirmed with a diode over the corresponding symbol.
Attention! Before the charging parameters are selected, get acquainted with the indications of the manufacturer of the battery.
Motorcycle symbol - to charge batteries whose capacity is lower than 40 Ah. Rated voltage 14.4 V; rated current 2.0 A.
Car symbol – to charge batteries whose capacity is lower than 160 Ah. Rated voltage 14.4 V; rated current 8.0 A.
Snowflake symbol – this mode is recommended for charging batteries in low temperatures. The mode of operation recommended
to charge in temperatures below +5°C and to charge many AGM batteries. Rated voltage 14.7 V; rated current 8.0 A. It is not
recommended to use this mode of operation to charge batteries in temperatures exc 5°C.
Key symbol – desulfurization of batteries. When the rectifier detects the rated voltage of the battery is lower than 10.5 V, it starts
desulfurization of the battery. The voltage on the terminals of the battery will be automatically increased to 17 V. Desulfurization
may last between 0.5 to 2 hours. If the process fails, it will be interrupted and the diode indicating failure will go on – the exclama-
tion mark.
Vehicle electrical installation symbol - the mode of operation with the vehicle electrical installation plug connected. Rated voltage
13.5 V; rated current 5.0 A. Maximum output power 72 W.
Explanation of the indicator lights
Power supply symbol – if the diode is lit, the rectifier is connected to the power supply network.
Exclamation mark – if the diode is lit, the rectifier is functioning incorrectly (short circuit, incorrect polarization or damaged bat-
tery)
Symbol of the battery (half full) – indicates the process of charging of the battery
Symbol of the battery (full) – indicates the battery is completely charged
Once charging has concluded, take the power cord out of the socket and then disconnect the terminals of the charging cables.
