The requirements set out in the IEC/EN61000-3-12
standard do not apply to this equipment. If this equipment
is connected to low voltage power supply network, either
the installer or the user is responsible for checking that
this can be done (consult the distribution system operator
if required).

Battery charger connection
Before starting the battery charger, make sure that the
battery voltage selected is the right one. Incorrect battery
voltage can damage objects and injure people.
To protect the electronic components on the vehicle,
carefully read the instructions by the car manufacturer
and the battery manufacturer before charging a battery
or using the Quick start procedure.
¾ Connect red charging clamp to positive (+) battery terminal and
black charging clamp (-) to negative battery terminal.
¾ If the battery is installed on a motor vehicle, first connect
the clamp to the battery terminal that is not connected to
the bodywork. Afterwards, connect the second clamp to the
bodywork at a point far from both the battery and the petrol
pipes.
¾ To stop charging the battery. In the following order, cut
off the power supply, remove the clamp from the bodywork
or the negative (-) terminal, and remove the clamp from the
positive (+) terminal.
"Safe Charge & Boost"
When in automatic operation mode "AUT", the "Safe Charge
& Boost" system is enabled.
The "Safe Charge & Boost" system will protect the vehicle
electronics from possible overvoltage peaks which could arise
during the charge or boost start.
Before any boost start operation, check the battery voltage. If
the battery voltage is lower than a safe level, the display will
show the error message "Er2". In this case the battery should
be quick-charged for 10-15min approx.
During the boost start, if the output voltage increases beyond a
safe level (17,0 / 32,0V), the starter will stop and the message
"Safe" will be displayed. In this case the battery should be
quick-charged for 10-15min approx.

Charging a battery

The automatic battery charger has a charging characteristic
I IU U (3 phase charging mode and "Floating" maintenance)
0 0
Fig.2.
It can be left connected to the battery for long periods of time
without the risk of damaging it.
¾ Switch "ON" the charger [A]
¾ Select the "BATTERY CHARGER" function [B]
¾ Select the battery voltage [D]
L
The charge will start after 10sec from the last selection.
Once it has started, it will not be possible to select a
different charging voltage.
¾ Select the charging current (output amps adjustment) [E]
L
The charging current absorbed by a battery recharging
depends on the state of the battery itself. For models
with charge settings, select the charging current
nearest to 10% of the capacity of the battery for
charging. (ex. I=4 Amps. for a battery of 40 Amp/h.)
Simultaneous charging of a number of batteries.
Fig.6
Clearly, charging time increases in proportion to the sum of
the capacities of the batteries being charged.
Do not charge at the same time different types of batteries,
batteries of different capacities (Ah), or at different charge
levels.
Charging a battery in "Manual" mode
The "SAFE CHARGE" protection against possible
overvoltage peaks is disabled in manual "MAN"
mode.
In some cases, the user may be in a condition to operate the
charger in manual mode, e.g. for a quick charge of batteries
not assembled on a vehicle.
¾ Press the [G] button for 3 sec to select manual operation.
L
The charging characteristic is of the IU type: (2 charging
phases without "Floating" maintenance) Fig.3.
Charge Timer
The duration of the recharge can be set only in "MAN" mode.
¾ Keep the button [F] pressed for 2 sec. Set the charging time
by rapidly pressing the same button. Confirm the desired
selection by keeping button [F] pressed for 2 sec.
Starting a vehicle
¾ Switch "ON" the charger [A]
¾ Select the "START ASSIST" function [B]
¾ Select the battery voltage [D]
L
The charger will be ready for boost start after 10sec from
the last selection. Once it has started, it will not be possible
to select a different charging voltage.
