Oxford Oximiser 3X Mode D'emploi page 3

This battery charger utilises state of the art electronics software to ensure that a battery is charged in the
correct method no matter what the battery type or state of charge.
This sophisticated battery charger offers the user 3 separate MODES for charging different types of battery.
Therefore this charger can offer a bulk charge from as low as 0.80 Amps and up-to 3.6Amps depending on the
settings chosen and the size of battery being charged.
This makes it suitable for charging batteries ranging in rated capacity from 4.0Ah up-to 125Ah.
Therefore it can charge batteries fitted to motorcycles and cars and used for bench charging caravan or boat
batteries.
It can be used with all LEAD ACID and AGM batteries and for occasional charging of GEL and Lithium (LiFePo4)
batteries.
The digital display is a unique feature that provides the following useful information:
• Battery voltage (a quick guide to a batteries health)
• Charge rate in Amp's (the rate at which the charger is charging the battery)
• Charge MODE selection (for small motorcycle batteries, car batteries, Winter/AGM batteries)
• Battery connection errors (if the battery leads have been connected incorrectly)
The digital display can be read in an un-lit garage thanks to its blue LED back light which comes on when the
mode button is pressed quickly during charging.
This essential piece of garage equipment is designed to be connected to a battery for months or even years at a
time.
Before charging please read this manual carefully and follow the instructions.
Battery Types and Charge MODE selection Advice
8 Process automatic charging cycle
The Oximiser3X has a sophisticated management system that performs an 8 process automatic charging cycle.
The 8 processes of this charging cycle are as follows:
1. POLARITY TEST:
Upon connection to the battery a polarity check is made to ensure that the connections are correct. The
digital (LCD) display will show a flashing warning sign if the connection polarity is wrong.
2. ANALYSE:
a. A fast analysis of battery condition is performed to establish if the battery is lightly discharged, deeply
discharged (sulphated) or permanently damaged / short-circuited through internal deterioration/battery
damage.
b. If the battery is permanently damaged or will not accept a charge, the Oximiser3X will not attempt to
re-charge. It will quickly return to the STANDBY mode shortly after the mode button has been pressed.
c. If the battery voltage is below 8 volts, it is not safe to charge the battery and this charger will show a
flashing WEAK led light.
d. If the battery is above 8.0volts the charger will proceed to the RECOVER mode.
e. If the battery is above 12.5V the charger will proceed to the CHARGE mode.
3. RECOVER (SOFT START) MODE:
a. If the battery is deeply discharged to as low as 8.0volts, the Oximiser3X performs a recovery mode that
gives the battery a "soft-start" charge and a very low fixed current. This action stimulates the battery and
gently raises the battery voltage before a higher charge current is applied.
b. Note: It is possible that a battery less than 11.0 volts may not be recoverable because sulphation has
occurred. Recovery from sulphation is rarely successful and this is why the Oximiser3X does not have that
special function.
4. CHARGE (BULK) MODE:
