Application Purpose; Improper Use; Description - Truma BC 416 IU Mode D'emploi

Application purpose

The automatic charger may only be used to charge 12 V lead
accumulators comprising 6 individual cells (e.g. car battery),
with a capacity of 50 – 160 Ah. It can be used universally and
is designed for continuous use or parallel mode. This auto-
matic charger has been designed to work best with gel, AGM
or liquid electrolyte batteries. The device is designed for instal-
lation in caravans, campers and boats.

Improper use

Do not use for 6 V batteries or non-chargeable batteries!
The automatic charger may not be used to charge 6 V lead ac-
cumulators. If batteries with a rated voltage of 6 V are charged
with the automatic charger, gassing occurs immediately
which creates an explosive detonating gas.
The automatic charger may not be used to charge non-
chargeable batteries and / or nickel-cadmium batteries.
If the automatic charger is used to charge these batteries, the
case can burst explosively.

Description

The automatic charger contains state-of-the-art microproces-
sor-controlled charging technology. This technology allows
high performance whilst remaining lightweight and small.
Thanks to the top quality electronics, it works highly efficiently.
The automatic charging process is gentle to the battery and
prevents damaging overcharging, which in turn significantly
extends the service life of the battery. After the battery and
mains supply have been connected, the automatic charger is
ready for use.
The automatic charger is designed for continuous operation
and parallel mode. Consumers can be continuously connected,
switched on or disconnected. Consumers are supplied and
the battery charged at the same time. The consumer current
here should be smaller than the maximum charging current as
otherwise the battery will not charge.
If the automatic charger is operated in conjunction with a
temperature sensor for the battery, the automatic charger
regulates the charging current automatically depending on the
operating temperature. This ensures particularly effective and
gentle charging of the battery. If a temperature sensor is not
used, the automatic charger regulates the charging process in
the same way as a battery temperature of 20 °C.
The device is designed for operation in an ambient tempera-
ture of up to 35 °C. If the temperature inside the device in-
creases due to a lack of circulating air or due to the fact that
the ambient temperature is too high, the charging current is
automatically reduced gradually.
