INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
2. Connect the output lead with the red clamp to the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
3. Connect the output lead with the black clamp to the negative terminal (-) of the battery.
ATTENTION: Make sure that both clamps of the output leads generate a suitable contact with
their corresponding terminals.
OPERATING BATTERY CHARGER
1. Once the output leads have been connected to the battery, plug the power supply lead of the battery
charger into the mains socket, making sure that the voltage matches the rated voltage of the battery
charger (230V-50Hz); having done this, the battery charger will emit an acoustic signal for 0.5 seconds,
and all the LED indicators on the control panel will switch on for 2 seconds; at this stage, the display shows
"- - - -".
2. The battery charger is configured in "stand-by" mode; for example: ON LED on, WET LED on, CHARGE
5-30Ah LED on. The LEDs light up differently based on the last programme saved.
3. At this stage, with the battery charger in "stand-by" mode, set the charging parameters suitable for the
type of battery to be charged, using the keys on the control panel. The charging parameters selected are
displayed by the corresponding LED, which switches on.
Settable charging parameters:
• Function key: (see section A – Operating Modes: "Function") depending on the work
cycle, select:
- Flash, Charge or Recovery.
• Amperage key: (see section B – Supply and charging mode: "Amperage")
Based on the supply current required to support the battery voltage during reprogramming operations,
you can select four different supply currents:
If you select the FLASH feature, you can choose among the following options
- Flash 10A: battery charger delivers a constant current of 10A
- Flash 30A: battery charger delivers a constant current of 30A
- Flash 60A: battery charger delivers a constant current of 60A
- Flash 120A: battery charger delivers a constant current of 120A
Based on the capacity of the battery to charge, select the CHARGE feature; you can choose among the
following options:
- Charge 10Ah – 100Ah: Supports batteries from 10Ah to 100Ah.
- Charge 100Ah – 300Ah: Supports batteries from 100Ah to 300Ah
- Charge 300Ah – 600Ah: Supports batteries from 300Ah to 600Ah
- Charge 600Ah – 1200Ah: Supports all batteries from 600Ah to 1200Ah.
• Volt / Batt key (see section C - "Flash" supply voltage and supported batteries: "Volt / Batt.")
Depending on the supply voltage required to support the battery voltage during reprogramming
operations (ONLY FLASH MODE), you can select three different supply voltages:
13.8V: Supply voltage set to 13.8V
14.4V: Supply voltage set to 14.4V
14.8V: Supply voltage set to 14.8V
Depending on the construction/type of the battery (ONLY CHARGE MODE), select: Wet, LiFePO4 or Agm.
4. Once the charging parameters have been set, press the START/STOP key to start charging the
battery. When the START/STOP and CHARGING LEDs light up, the battery is charging; the display
will show the charging current and the voltage of the battery.
5. The CHARGING LED remains lit in phases "I" and "U0" whilst the battery is charging.
6. When the FULL LED switches on, it means that the battery is fully charged (100%), and the charger will
switch to the maintenance phase, keeping the state of efficiency of the battery constantly monitored,
