Instructions for Use
: IMPORTANT :
Read before using.
WARNING !
Batteries emit EXPLOSIVE GASES - prevent flame or sparks near batteries. Disconnect AC
power supply before making or breaking DC/battery connections. Battery acid is highly corrosive.
Wear protective clothing and avoid contact. In case of accidental contact wash immediately with soap and
water. Check that the battery posts are not loose; if so,have the battery professionally assessed.
If the battery posts are corroded, clean with a copper wire brush; if greasy or dirty, clean with a rag damped
in detergent.Before charging batteries provided with filler caps check that the electrolyte level is correct,and
top up with distilled water if necessary. Do not use the charger unless all output leads and connectors are in
good,undamaged condition.
Protect the device,it's leads,connectors,fuse holders,fuses and terminations from contamination by
acids and fluids, from exposure to damp and humidity, and from physical and accidental damage.
Any damage to the unit,it's leads or accessory parts resulting from such contamination, exposure or
damage is NOT covered by warranty.
NOTE : This device is delivered with 3 detachable connection lead sets.These sets terminate at one end with
the male element of a special 2-pin connector to insert in the female element which terminates the main
charger output cable.At the other end, one connection set has «crocodile» clips for quick connection to the
b at t e ry, a second set has metal eyelets for permanent fixing to the bat t e ry posts, and a third set has a
number of concentric type plugs for use with the power supply function.
If intending to charge a 12V lead-acid battery using the battery clips,first disconnect and remove the battery
from the vehicle and place in a well ventilated area. To connect the eyelet connection set, fix the eyelets
firmly through the holes in the battery posts with galvanised gutter bolts and nuts or in the case of solid posts
by galvanised self- t apping screws engaging in suitable holes pre-drilled in the posts. Make sure that the
eyelet with red heatshrink is fixed to the positive pole (marked Pos or P or + and often red) and the other eye-
let to the negative pole (Neg or N or - and often black).Ensure that the polarised connector is situated away
from the battery and restrained so as not to come into contact with any moving part of the vehicle. Prevent
ingress of grime and dirt to the 2-pin connector. If any optional accessory connection lead incorporates a fuse
and thus should blow, check for damage or anomalies and replace any burnt fuse only with a new fuse of
identical type and rating.When using the multi-head connection set for the power supply function,ensure that
no metal part of any unused head can come into contact with any other metal object
If in any doubt concerning any of the above instructions,consult a professional service agent for assistance.
IMPORTANT !
This device has an output selector switch for selecting either the charging programme
or the 12Vdc regulated power supply function. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE THAT THE SELECTOR
SWITCH IS CORRECTLY POSITIONED ACCORDING TO THE REQUIRED FUNCTION BEFORE THE DEVICE lS
CONNECTED. Failure to do so may cause a hazard resulting in the overheating and potential destruction or
even explosion of the connected appliance.
A LWAYS CHECK THE SELECTOR SWITCH POSITION !
