START 200 / 300
EN
PROTECTION
This device has been designed with maximum protection:
• The charging clamps are fully insulated.
• A fuse provides proctection against reverse polarity and short circuits :
Start 200
Start 300
Primary fuse
Cylindrical type 6.35x31.75 - Fast
acting - 5A (little fuse ref : 53346)
Cylindrical type 6.35c31.75 10A -
Little Fuse. (Ref. 53356)
Secondary fuse
300mm - 50A (Little fuse serie : BF1
- 32 (Little Fuse ref : 51342)
Little Fuse BF1 type - 80A (Ref.
53353)
• The thermal protection is covered by a thermostat (cooling time is around 15mins). The green light turns itself off in
the event of overheating for the Start 200, or the orange light turns itself on for the Start 300.
SULPHATED OR DAMAGED BATTERIES
START does not detect sulphated or damaged batteries.
• Your battery is deeply damaged if in charge, the ammeter needle deflects rapidly to very high intensities. Your battery
is permanently out of use.
• In the case of a sulphated battery : turn the device on the highest speed "BOOST" and regularly monitor if the
ammeter shows a charging current. As soon as the charging current increases, put the switch onto the suitable charging
mode for the battery. If there is no improvement after 5 hours, the battery is permanently out of use.
Caution - This procedure must be done with the battery disconnected from the vehicle!
WARNING
• WARNING! Explosive gas , avoid flames and sparks . During charging, the battery should be placed in a ventilated area.
• Protect the unit from rain and moisture
• If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer , its after sales or a similarly qualified person
to avoid hazard.
• Under no circumstances this appliance should be used to charge accu;ulators or non rechargeable batteries.
• Respect the connection sequence indicated .
• Product subject to separate collection , do not dispose in domestic waste .
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical , sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they could benifit by through a person responsible for their
safety, supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance .
• Do not open the device. Modifications not performed by a manufacturer's technician leads to void the warranty .
• Check that the available voltage corresponds to the one indicated on the nameplate of the charger.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Anomalies
Causes
Remedies
The ammeter does not move.
Power supply problem
Check the power supply
Check the machine is switched to the charge
position
"Polarity reversal or clamp in short
circuit"
Check the fuses is intact
The battery is faulty
Check with a voltmeter the voltage on the
terminals. If the voltage rises instantly at
more than 2.5V per element, the battery
may be damaged or sulphated.
Volage error (12 -24 V)
Check the switch is on the correct selection
(12 or 24V)
Following intensive use, the machine has
switched off due to thermal protection to
cool down.
Wait for 15 min to allow cooling
The ammeter indicates more than 20A
whereas the selector adjustment is at the
minimum
The battery is deeply discharged
Keep charging but only at a low output
Voltage error (12 - 24 V)
Check the switch is set correctly (12 or 24V)
Some battery elements are in short-circuit
Change the battery
The machine stops
You are starting whilst in the “charge” mode
of the machine
Switch to the “start” position otherwise it
could damaged the machine.
A 12V battery is charged on the 24V output
Put the switch on the 12V position
