- Never use the battery charger inside the car or in the bonnet.
- Substitute the mains cable only with an original one.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
- Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries which are not
rechargeable.
- Make sure the available power supply voltage corresponds to
that shown on the battery charger rating plate.
- To prevent damaging the vehicle electronics, scrupulously
respect the warnings given by the producer of the vehicle or the
batteries used.
- This battery charger has components such as switches and relays
which can cause arcs or sparks. Therefore when using it in a
garage or in a similar place set the battery charger in a suitable
case.
- Repair or maintenance of the inside of the battery charger can be
executed only by skilled technicians.
- WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE
FROM THE MAINS BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY SIMPLE
MAINTENANCE OPERATION ON THE BATTERY CHARGER.
- The battery charger is protected from indirect contact by an earth
wire as indicated for class I equipment. Make sure the power
outlet is protected by an earth connection.
- In models without this element, connect plugs of appropriate
capacity, not below the fuse value indicated on the rating plate.
- Class A device:
This battery charger complies with the requirements of the technical
standard for products to be used in industrial environments and
for professional purposes. No compliance with the electromagnetic
compatibility in domestic use buildings is guaranteed and those
connected directly to a low voltage power supply network that
furnishes buildings designated to domestic use.
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

batteries and Li lithium batteries used by motorised vehicles (petrol and
diesel) and electric vehicles: automobiles, motor vehicles, motorcycles,
boats, etc. It is possible to charge 12V and 24V batteries; there is also a
starter aid mode (for vehicles with petrol and diesel engines only).
Rechargeable accumulators according to the output voltage available:
12V / 6 cells; 24V / 12 cells.
3. INSTALLATION
ASSEMBLY
- Unpack the battery charger and assemble the separate parts
contained in the package.
- Models on wheels are to be set in a vertical position.

3.1 BATTERY CHARGER POSITION
When running, position the battery charger in a stable position and
make sure the air flow through the openings which guarantee required
ventilation is not blocked.
3.2 CONNECTION TO THE MAINS
- The battery charger must only be connected to a power supply system
with neutral conductor connected to earth.
- Check that the mains voltage is the same as the battery charger
voltage indicated on the rating plate.
- The power line must have a protection system, such as fuses or circuit
breakers, that can support the maximum apparatus absorption.
- Use the relative power cable when connecting to the mains.
- Any power cable extensions must be of suitable section size, never
lower than that of the supplied power cable.
- It is always compulsory to connect the device to the grounding
system, using the yellow-green wire in the power cable identified with
the label ( ), whilst the other two wires must be connected to the
phase and neutral conductors on the mains power supply.
4. OPERATING DURING CHARGING
N.B.: Before charging, make sure the capacity (Ah) of the battery to
be charged is not lower than that indicated on the battery charger
rating plate (Cmin). Follow the instructions scrupulously in the order
