First charging phase “I”
•
The battery is charged at a constant current until it reaches its maximum
voltage.
Second charge phase “U0”
•
The battery is charged at a stabilised voltage until the current reaches
minimum values.
Second diagnosis phase of the
•
state of the battery “A2”.
The battery charger analyses the state of efficiency of the battery charged.
Third charge phase “Boost”
•
(Only for battery chargers set on
-WET AGM) The battery is charged
deeply at a constant current and increasing voltage to boost the charge
capacity of the battery.
Fourth charge phase “U”
•
The battery is held at a reduced constant voltage with the battery charger set
for DRY GEL batteries.
Fourth charge phase “Up”
•
The battery is held with pulses of current with the battery charger set for WET
AGM batteries.
WARNINGS
The battery charger is designed to charge lead acid batteries. Do not use it for other purposes. Do not charge disposable
•
batteries. Do not charge frozen batteries.
Always wear protective goggles and keep your face away from the battery while connecting and disconnecting it.
•
Explosive gas could be let-off while the battery is charging, therefore prevent the formation of sparks or flames and do
•
not smoke.
Charge the battery in well-aired and dry places. Do not expose to rain or snow.
•
Make sure the battery charger is disconnected from the mains before connecting or disconnecting the charge leads to/
•
from the battery.
Never put the battery charger on top of the battery while charging it.
•
The liquid inside the batteries is corrosive. In the case of accidental contact of this acid with skin or eyes, rinse abundantly
•
with water and seek medical assistance.
Improper use of the battery charger or tampering with its built-in electronic circuit provides grounds to invalidate the
•
warranty.
If the power supply lead of the appliance is damaged, have it replaced by authorised technicians, because its replacement
•
requires the use of special tools.
The appliance shall be repaired or serviced exclusively by qualified personnel.
•
Only use the battery charger after reading the instruction manual carefully.
•
CHARGING
Charging batteries connected to the vehicle
1. Before you start to charge the battery, make sure the power supply lead is NOT plugged into the mains.
2. Locate the vehicle’s earth pole, which is generally connected to the negative terminal.
3. Charging a battery with negative terminal grounded to the vehicle’s chassis.
Connect the output lead with red clamp to the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
•
Connect the output lead with black clamp to the vehicle’s earthing, keeping it away from the battery and from the fuel
•
pipe.
4. Charging a battery with positive terminal grounded to the vehicle’s chassis.
Connect the output lead with black clamp to the negative terminal (-) of the battery.
•
Connect the output lead with red clamp to the vehicle’s earthing, keeping it away from the battery and the fuel pipe.
•
5. Using eyelet type terminals.
Connect the output lead with black eyelet to the negative terminal (-) of the battery.
•
Connect the output lead with red eyelet to the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
•
Make sure the two eyelets are secured correctly to the terminals of the battery so that they generate an optimal electrical
•
contact.
Secure the end of the output leads with eyelets firmly in a position of the vehicle away from the fuel pipe (do not use clips
•
in metal or other material that could ruin the output lead).
6. Using the connector for cigarette lighter sockets.
Make sure the cigarette lighter socket of the vehicle is live when the vehicle is switched off (consult the vehicle’s use and
•
maintenance manual).
Make sure the cigarette lighter socket of the vehicle is clean.
•
Plug the connector into the cigarette lighter socket.
•
ATTENTION
Only use the connector for cigarette lighter sockets exclusively for charge maintenance and not
for standard or “Boost” charge cycles.
