DESCRIPTION OF THE CHARGER (FIG I, PAGE 2)
The chargers CT 160 and CT 210 are designed to charge lead acid batteries with liquid electrolyte, nominal voltage
from 12V, and with capacity according to the table II, page 2.

2 – Battery voltage selector
3 – Battery capacity selector
4 – Main switch
CHARGER MODE
Preliminary precautions
• For indoor use, with good ventilation. Protect the charger from rain and moisture.
• Remove the battery caps if there is, and check the level of liquid. If it is not correct, filled up with distilled water.
Clean well the battery terminals.
• Check if the battery capacity and voltage are compatible with your charger. Do not charge the battery when it
is connected on the vehicle
Connection and disconnection
• Connect the clamps (+ red, - black) to + and - battery terminals, making sure you get a good electric contact,
respecting the following order:
▪ Connect first the battery terminal not connected to the chassis of the vehicle.
▪ Then connect the other connection to the chassis remote from the battery and any fuel line.
▪ At last, plug in your charger to 230 V 50/60 Hz mains supply.
• Choose the charge voltage (12 / 24V) and the charge speed (normal or boost). The « Boost » function allows
charging a battery quickly.
Control and end of the charge process
• These are traditional chargers; the charge process must be stopped manually.
• The ammeter is a charge indicator. When the current drops down to 0, the battery charge is ending. You can stop
the charge process. In normal mode, it takes about 10 hrs to fully charge a battery. If the ammeter is not at the
minimum after this period, check the charge mode and voltage or have the battery checked by a professional.
• Do not let the charger connected more than 24 Hours on a battery.
• After charging, disconnect the battery charger from main supply. Then remove the chassis connection and the
battery connection, in this order.
PROTECTIONS
Your product has been developed with a maximum of protections.
• The clamps of the battery are isolated.
• The polarity reversal will not cause danger. The protection is insured by an automotive fuse, which must be changed
in case of polarity error. Respect the rating of the fuse, which is indicated on the charger.
• This device is protected by an internal fuse to avoid any risk in case of damage to the charger.
(CT160 : 1,6A – CT210 : 2A)
• Thermal protection: the transformer of the product is protected by a thermal switch. If the charger is used
intensively, it may switch in thermal protection mode (cooling time about 15min), and then resume the charge.
ADVICE AND WARNING
• Your charger must be plugged to an outlet linked to the ground.
• In case the power cord is damaged, be sure to stop using it at once. Sent it to nearby appoint repair center that is
authorized by manufacturer in order to avoid any danger.
• Do not attempt to charge non rechargeable batteries.
• The battery terminal which is not connected to the frame must be connected first. The other connection must be
done on the frame far from the battery and from the fuel canalization.
• After charging, plug off the charger from the outlet, then plug off the clamp from the frame and the battery in the
indicated order.
• The charger must be installed so that the mains plug is accessible.
• The charger must not be used as toy by young children, or used by young children or disabled persons without any
supervision.
• Do not make the clamps enter in short circuit during the charge.

damaged, it must not be used before reparation.
• Separate collection required - Do not throw in a domestic dustbin.
• Do not leave your charger plugged on your car when you start it. It can break the fuse.
• Do not use your charger like an auxiliary power supply. It is forbidden to pull up current from the battery when the
battery is connected to the charger.
