5.1BATTERYPREPARATION

When recharging a WET-type battery, proceed as follows:

- Remove the caps of the battery charger (if foreseen) so as to let the

gas produced go out. Check that the level of the electrolyte covers

the plates of the battery. If these were not covered add distilled

water and cover them up to 5-10 mm.

WARNING: USE THE MAXIMUM CAUTION DURING

THIS OPERATION AS THE ELECTROLYTE IS A HIGHLY

CORROSIVEACID.

5.2BATTERYCHARGER/BATTERYCONNECTION

- Make sure the power cable is disconnected from the mains.

- With models having more than one charge voltage, turn the

deviator or the switch to the selected charge voltage. If there is

no deviator or switch, suitably connect the red crocodile clip (+

symbol) to the specic battery charger terminal in correspondence

with the selected charge voltage.

- Connect the red charge clamp to the positive terminal of the battery

( + symbol). If the symbols are indistinguishable remember that the

positive terminal is the one not connected to the vehicle chassis.

- Connect the black charge clamp to the vehicle chassis, at a safe

distance from the battery and the fuel pipe.

NOTE: if the battery is not installed in the vehicle, connect the clamp

directly to the negative terminal of the battery (- symbol).

5.3MANUALCHARGEANDAUTOMATICCHARGEMODES

5.3.1MANUALCHARGE(CHARGE)MODE

Mode recommended for free electrolyte lead batteries (WET).

- Follow the instructions provided in paragraphs 5.1 and 5.2 carefully.

- Turn the switch seen in gure B-1 to the CHARGE position and set

the desired charge level using the switch seen in gure B-2.

- Power the battery charger by inserting the power cable into the

mains and pressing the switch to ON (if available).

- Monitor the charge indicator as described in paragraph 3.1.

NOTE: When the WET battery is charged, you will also notice the

liquid start to “boil”. It is recommended to interrupt the charging as

soon as this happens to prevent damage to the battery.

5.3.2AUTOMATICCHARGE(TRONIC)MODE

The models that operate in TRONIC mode are recommended for

charging sealed batteries (GEL, AGM).

- Follow the instructions provided in paragraphs 5.1 and 5.2 carefully.

- Turn the switch seen in gure B-2 to TRONIC and set the desired

charge level using the switch seen in gure B-2.

- Power the battery charger by inserting the power cable into the

mains. The battery charger controls the voltage present at the

battery ends and automatically disconnects the current supply

when the battery is charged (green charge LED) and connects

it again automatically when the battery starts to run down. The

TRONIC function is ideal for keeping batteries (AGM and WET)

automatically charged over time with no risk of damage.

5.4SIMULTANEOUSCHARGINGOFMULTIPLEBATTERIES

WARNING: do not simultaneously charge batteries of different

capacities, discharges or types. When simultaneous charging is

required, it is possible to use “series” or “parallel” connections (FIG.

D).

For “parallel” connections the batteries must have the same rated

voltage (Volt), corresponding to that supplied by the battery charger

and the total of the Ah must fall within the charge range of the battery

charger.

For “series” connections the batteries must have the same capacity

(Ah), and the total of the rated voltage of all the batteries must

correspond to the output rated voltage supplied by the battery

charger.

5.5.CHARGEENDING

- Disconnect the power to the battery charger moving the switch to

OFF (if available) and remove the power cable from the mains.

- Disconnect the black charge clamp from the vehicle chassis or

from the negative battery terminal (symbol -)

- Disconnect the red charging clamp from the positive battery

terminal (+ symbol).

- Return the battery charger to a dry place.

- Close the battery cells again, using the relative caps (if present).

6.VEHICLESTARTINGOPERATION

WARNING:Beforeproceeding,readthevehiclemanufacturers

instructions carefully!

- Make sure the power line is protected by fuses or automatic

circuit-breakers with sizes as indicated on the rating plate by the (

) symbol.

- To make the starting process easier, charge the battery for 10-15

minutes at maximum level before starting.

- In order to prevent overheating in the battery charger, ALWAYS

carry out the starting operation according to the work/pause (on-

off) cycles as indicated on the appliance (e.g. START 3s ON 120s

OFF-5 CYCLES). Do not insist if the engine does not start: this

could cause serious damage to the battery or even to the electrical

equipment in the vehicle. If the engine does not start, do not insist,

but wait a few minutes and then repeat the rapid charge operation.

6.1BATTERYCHARGER/BATTERYCONNECTION

- With the power cord disconnected from the mains, connect the

battery charger clamps as described in paragraph 5.2.

- Make sure the battery is connected properly to the respective (+

and -) terminals, and that it is in good condition (not sulphated or

dead). Never ever start vehicles with the batteries disconnected

from their respective terminals; the presence of the battery is

essential for the elimination of possible overvoltage.

6.2STARTINGWITHSTART

- With the battery charger switched OFF, plug the power cable into

the mains.

- Press the switch to ON, if available.

- Turn the switch to START and turn the vehicle ignition key to start

the engine.

6.3ENDOFSTARTING

- Disconnect the power to the battery charger by turning the switch

(if present) to OFF and remove the power cable from the mains.

- Disconnect the black crocodile clip from the negative battery

terminal (- symbol) and the red crocodile clip from the positive

battery terminal (+ symbol).

- Store the battery charger in a dry place.

7.BATTERYCHARGERPROTECTION

The battery charger protects itself from:

- Overcharge (too much current supplied to the battery).

- Short-circuit (loading clips placed in contact with each other).

- Polarity inversion on the battery clamps.

For appliances tted with fuses, if the fuses have to be replaced

always use the same kind of fuse with the same rated size.

WARNING: If the replacement fuse has a different size from that

shown on the rating plate it could cause damage to people or

property. For the same reason, never ever replace the fuse with a

bridge in copper or other material.

The power supply cable should always be DISCONNECTED from the

mains supply while the fuse is being changed.

8.USEFULADVICE

- If the positive and negative terminals are incrusted with oxide,

clean them to ensure good contacts with the clamps.

- Never ever allow the two clamps to come into contact when the

battery charger is connected to the mains. In this case the fuse will

blow.

- If the battery, to which this battery charger is to be connected,

is permanently installed in the vehicle, also consult the vehicle

manufacturer’s user’s and maintenance handbook under the

“ELECTRICAL SYSTEM” or “MAINTENANCE” section.
