PREPARATION TO WORK
PROPER USE
The charger is designed for charging non-maintained or maintenance-free
12 V lead-acid batteries (wet / Ca/Ca / EFB batteries) and for lead gel and
AGM batteries used in motor vehicles. The equipment must not be used to
charge lithium-iron-phosphate batteries (e.g. LiFePO4) or other lithium
batteries. The equipment is intended for mobile use only and not for
installation in caravans, mobile homes or similar vehicles. The equipment
must not be used as a buffer power source, including when replacing
batteries. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. Use the equipment
only for its intended purpose. Any other use is considered a case of abuse.
The user/operator, not the manufacturer, is responsible for any resulting
damage or injury.
Please note that our equipment is not designed for use in commercial, retail
or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used
in commercial, retail or industrial enterprises or for equivalent purposes.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
Operation
Before connecting the unit to the power supply, ensure that the data on the
specification label is identical to the supply voltage.
DANGER! Do not charge frozen batteries.
Please also refer to the operating instructions of your car, radio,
navigation system etc.
NOTES ON AUTOMATIC CHARGING
The charger is a microprocessor-controlled automatic charger, i.e. it is
particularly suitable for charging maintenance-free batteries and for long-
term charging and maintenance charging of batteries which are not in
continuous operation, e.g. batteries for classic cars, recreational vehicles,
lawn tractors and the like. The integrated microprocessor enables charging
in several steps. The final charging step, maintenance charging, maintains
the battery capacity at 95-100% and therefore keeps the battery fully
charged at all times. The charging operation does not need to be monitored.
However, the battery should not be left unattended if it is being charged for
an extended period so that it can be disconnected from the mains supply. in
the event of failure of the charger.
EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS (FIG. 2)
Battery charge status: 25%
B Battery charge level: 50%
C Battery charge status: 75%
D Battery charge status: 100%
E Charging a 12 V battery (lead-acid battery, AGM battery and gel battery).
F Charging a 12 V battery (lead acid, AGM and gel battery) in winter mode at
an ambient temperature of -20°C to 5°C. Danger! Do not charge frozen
batteries.
G Charging a 12V battery (lead-acid battery, AGM battery and gel battery) in
charge maintenance mode with a charge current of 1A.
H Badly connected terminals (reverse polarity) or short circuit
CHARGING SETTINGS
Press the Mode button (fig. 2/pos. 1) to set the 12 V charge (fig. 2/pos. E) and
12 V winter mode (fig. 2/pos. F). For low capacity batteries (see Technical
Data) or for maintenance charging of seasonal batteries, the "Back-up" mode
with a reduced maximum charge current can be used. One of the LEDs will
light up according to the selected settings (fig.2/position E-G).
CHARGING THE BATTERY:
- Release or remove the battery locks (if: fitted) from the battery.
- Check the acid level in the battery. If necessary, top up the battery with
distilled water (if possible). Important! Battery acid is dangerous. Flush any
acid splashes thoroughly with plenty of water and seek medical advice if
necessary.
- First connect the red charging cable to the positive terminal of the battery.
- Then connect the black charging cable to the vehicle body, away from the
battery and fuel line.
- Warning! Normally the negative battery terminal is connected to the
bodywork and proceed as described above. In exceptional cases it is
possible if the positive battery terminal is connected to the body (positive
earth). In this case, connect the black charger cable to the negative battery
terminal. Then connect the red cable of the charger to the body in a place
away from the battery and the fuel line.
- Once the battery is connected to the charger, the charger can be plugged
into the socket (see Technical data). All LEDs will flash for a short time. Then
the LED (fig. 2/item E) will light up continuously as soon as the battery
charge status is indicated. You can now change the charging settings (see
chapter 5.2). The LEDs fig. 2/items A-D will blink successively until the
battery is fully charged (provided it is not damaged). When the battery is
fully charged, LEDs A-D will light up continuously.
- If only the LED (fig. 2/item E) flashes, this
- means that although the charger is connected to the socket, it is not
connected to the battery.
- Important! Charging can produce dangerous explosive gas, so avoid sparks
and open flames when charging the battery. There is a risk of explosion! It is
very important to ventilate the rooms well.
- If the message "Battery fully charged" appears on the charger after a few
minutes, this means that the battery capacity is low. The battery needs to be
replaced.
