5. ENERGISING
5.
5.1.
The E/START1224 can only be energised from a donor battery, by means of the battery clips.
5.1.1.
Under normal circumstances, the E/START1224 will select either the 12 or 24V function automatically, denoted by the appropriate
voltage indicators.
5.1.2.
If a donor 24V battery contains 10V or less, the E/START1224 will select the 12V operation; follow section 5.1.3.
5.1.3.
The E/START1224 can be energised to 28V from a 12V battery. Energise to 14V first and then press the ON/OFF switch for 4 seconds to
select the 24V function and progress to 28V.
5.1.4.
If the E/START1224 is energised above 14V, and is required to start a 12V vehicle, both voltage indicators will light and the
fault/glow/override light flash. Disconnect the clamps and wait for the voltage to subside; this could take up to 2 hours in extreme
circumstances
6. OPERATION
NORMAL STARTING
Ensure that the E/START1224 is switched off. Connect the clamps to the vehicle battery terminals, observing correct polarity.
The Energising Indicator display shows the charge in the vehicle battery. A low initial battery indication
may
suggest that there is an internal
fault. If the normal starting procedure fails, consider using the Override mode at 6.3.
Press the ON/OFF button. If the E/START1224 is not already fully energised, the Energising Indicator LED's will flash until a steady green
14/28V LED indicates that it is energised fully.
When the 14/28V LED is steady the E/START1224 is ready.
Operate the vehicle ignition switch to start the engine.
Switch the E/START1224 off and disconnect from the battery.
6.2.
GLOW MODE (Only use if the GLOW symbol appears on the vehicle instrument panel)
Ensure that the E/START1224 is switched off. Connect the clamps to the vehicle battery terminals, observing correct polarity.
The Energising Indicator display shows the charge in the vehicle battery. A low initial battery indication
may
suggest that
there is an internal fault.
If the GLOW procedure fails, consider using the Override mode at 6.3.
Press the ON/OFF button. If the E/START1224 is not already energised fully, the Energising Indicator LED's will flash until a steady green
14/28V LED indicates a full charge.
When the 14/28V LED is steady, the E/START1224 is ready.
Press the GLOW button. The Fault/Glow/Override Indicator will flash red/green to show that the glow mode is active. Operate the vehicle
ignition switch and wait for the
GLOW
symbol on the vehicle instrument panel to extinguish. Start the engine.
Switch the E/START1224 off and disconnect from the battery.
If the Normal or GLOW start procedures are unsuccessful, the following mode may need to be used.
6.3.
OVERRIDE MODE (Faulty battery)
WARNING: There is no short-circuit or reverse polarity protection in this mode.
NOTE:
The GLOW function will not operate in this mode.
Always read the vehicle manufacturer's instruction manual.
An initial low battery indication
may
suggest that there is an internal fault.
The E/START1224 will need to be energised as in Section 5.
Remove the vehicle's positive (red) lead from the battery terminal (fig.2).
Ensure that the E/START1224 is switched off. Connect the E/START1224 positive clamp
to the vehicle positive lead,
NOT
the battery terminal (fig.2).
Press the On/Off button.
Then press and hold the ON/OFF button until the Fault/Glow/Override Indicator
flashes green.
This indicates that Override mode is initialising.
When the Indicator shows a steady green, the Override mode is active.
Operate the ignition switch to start the engine (the ability for an engine to continue to
run without a battery connected will vary, depending on the make and model of the vehicle).
WARNING: Do not leave the engine running without the E/START1224 or the battery being connected. Failure to comply could
result in damage to the vehicle ECU. Sealey will not accept responsibility for any damage caused by incorrect use of this
product.
As soon as the engine starts, and keeping the E/START1224 clamp and battery lead connected, attach the positive lead to the positive
battery terminal and tighten the terminal clamp (fig.3). After the positive lead has been secured to the battery terminal disconnect the
E/START1224 from the battery and switch the unit off.
