e) Do not face the battery when making the final connection.
f)
When disconnecting charger, disconnect in reverse sequence from connecting
procedure. See operating instructions for charge information.
The battery charger must be connected to the battery according to the instructions
above.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION!
The MULTI US 3300 cannot be used to restore a fully worn out battery.
If the MULTI US 3300 does not switch to maintenance charge after three days (green light
illuminated), there is a fault. Possible causes:
•
The battery is probably worn out and should be replaced.
•
Some large antimony batteries may behave different and can allow the MULTI US 3300
to charge the battery for too long, which can lead to overcharging. See caution!
•
If heavy power consumers like fitted alarms and navigation computers are connected to
the battery, the charging process takes longer and this can also overcharge the battery.
•
A sulphated battery will only accept current with difficulty, and consequently the
charging process takes a particularly long time. A worn out battery cannot be fully
charged. Therefore you should always check whether the charger has been switched to
maintenance charge before you leave it turned on or unobserved for any length of time.
Caution: If the MULTI US 3300 does not switch to maintenance charge mode after three
days, manually switch it to pulse maintenance mode. If the set has been switched to
maintenance charge, then everything is in order. Note: A battery that hasn’t changed to
maintenance charge after three days is most likely worn out and needs to be replaced. All
other batteries can be maintained for a very long time.
CHARGING
Connecting the MULTI US 3300:
- Connecting the equipment to a battery fitted in the vehicle
:
1.
When the battery cable is being connected or disconnected, the plug of the
MULTI US 3300 must be disconnected from the power socket.
2.
Establish which terminal is ground (connected to the chassis). Normally the negative
terminal is grounded.
3.
Charging a battery grounded to the negative terminal: Negative-grounded vehicle
Charger connection.
1. Connect positive charger clip (red) to positive battery terminal.
2. Connect negative charger clip (black) to a good metal engine ground
away from the battery. Do not connect clip to fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts.
3. Connect the AC cord to the socket. The red alarm indication light will indicate a
battery which is connected to reverse polarity.
