Battery Charger Operating Instructions - SPE 

GENERAL INFORMATION AND WARNINGS 



  NSS machines are delivered with the SPE charger 

set to Curve #0 for Crown batteries. 



  Electronic automatic battery charger with 

microprocessor suitable for any battery type. 



  Fully automatic charging cycle with electronic 

setting; protected against overload, short-circuit at 
clamps and reversed polarity. 



  Before starting to charge, make sure the voltage of 

the equipment suits the voltage of the battery, that 
the charging current suits the capacity of the 
battery and that the selected charging curve (for 
lead-acid batteries or airtight gel batteries) is 
correct for the type of battery to be charged. In 
addition, make sure the rated input voltage of the 
charger suits the available supply voltage and the 
system is equipped with grounding. 



  Pay attention to any remarks of the battery 

manufacturer. 

CONTROLS (see figure below) 

1.  Three-digit d symbol (1), to view 

A

 = the 

charging current, 

U 

= the battery voltage, 

h

 = the 

charging time, 

C

 = the charging ampere-hours 

[Ah], 

E

 = the energy used [KWh]. 

2.  Button for the 

S

election of the display mode 

(2):

A, U, h, C, E

. After about 10 seconds the 

display returns to the visualization of the charging 
current. 

3.  Red control indicator (3): when it is on, the 

charging cycle has started. 

4.  Yellow control indicator (4): when it is on, the final 

phase of the charging cycle has started. 

5. 

Green control indicator (5): when it is on, the 
charging cycle has finished.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 



  Plug the cord into a socket. 



  Now, the battery charger’s display will show a 

sequence of details on the charger’s internal 
programming: after the name “SPE”, it will show 
the software release installed in the equipment, 
then, in sequence, the following parameters: 
battery voltage, charging current, charging curve 
number and, finally, the words 

“GEL” 

or “

Acd

”  

depending on the set up charging curve being 
suitable for airtight gel batteries or lead-acid 
batteries. Now, a test is run on the battery voltage 
to decide if the charging process should be started 
or not. If the battery is not connected to the battery 
charger, the display will show the word 

“bat”

. The 

word will stay on, even if the test is failed (for 
instance, reversed polarities or incorrect battery 
connection). If the test is passed, the display will 
show the battery voltage for approximately 5 
seconds and the battery will begin to be charged. 
The charging cycle progress will be shown by red 
(3), yellow (4) and green (5) LED indicators. At the 
end of the charge, when the green indicator (5) is 

on, unplug the cord from the socket and operate 
the machine.
