Translation of the original instructions
UNIVERSAL function
In the event that it is not possible to accurately determine the battery type (liquid, gel, AGM, Start/Stop) then we
recommend that the UNIVERSAL settting is selected, this is also the default setting.
TIMER function
The TIMER feature (n°11) is used to set a charging time from 10 to 120 min (by steps of 10 min) and allows to start
the charge when the battery is disconnected or below 1V.
The charge when using the TIMER feature is manual. This has the following consequences :
• Whatever is the battery health status (sulfated, short circuited, voltage < 1V), the charge will always be triggered.
• The charge starts even if the battery connection is faulty: clamps disconnected or in short circuit There is a risk of
sparks if the connection instructions are not observed.
Two indicators can help to check that the charge has started :
- The display (n°2). -It alternates between the battery voltage and the remaining time in minutes.
- The voltage and minutes LEDs (n°3 and 4). They remain on and alternate at the same time as the display.
The charge may be be stopped in several ways :
- At the end of the selected time.
- When there is a power supply cut
- By pressing the (8) button.
Charging several batteries simultaneously.
It is possible to charge several batteries simultaneously by connecting them in parallel. The positive terminals
connected to the red clamp and the negative terminals connected to the black clamp. These batteries or battery
groups must be of the same voltage, 12V or 24V.
Charging batteries in series is not recommended.
USE IN START MODE
Precautions before use
• Do not disconnect the battery fom the vehicle. Connecting the battery can lead to the vehicle's memory loss and a
potential impossibility to restart it.
Starting
Once the starter connected to the battery (see connection and disconnection) press key 9 to select the «START
ENGINE» mode. When this function is activated a precharge will start. Pressing any key will stop this mode.
• The «START ENGINE» mode detects sulfated batteries and will thus refuse to start the vehicle. The
machine will automatically start the desulfating procedure in order to protect on-board electronics.
• If the battery is excessively damaged (e.g. sulfated), the charger will block the start. In this event, the
startium intermittently indicates « CIP » (Charge in Progress) and 0%. This means that battery recovery
is in progress. As long as «CIP» appears on the display, it is not possible to start the vehicle.

DIAG-STARTIUM 60-24
Once the precharge is done, go to the vehicle's dashboard. The «start» feature will activate when the first attempt to
start is initiated (by turning the key). The attempt time must be for 10 secs maximum (a countdown appears on the
display). If your engine does not start, wait 2 minutes between each start attempt.
Nb : If the vehicle does not start, it may be a problem other than a faulty battery e.g. alternator, glowplug...
After usage, follow the recommended disconnection procedure (p.15-16).
TESTING THE ALTERNATOR
If the vehicle battery is regularly out of order, the problem may come form the alternator.
The DIAG-STARTIUM have an «alternator test» feature (p5, n°11). It can show the alternator's charge capacity by
intermittently displaying the voltage and the perrcentage.
To use this feature, the vehicle must be started. Follow the recommended connection procedure (p.15-16), and
choose the «Alternator test» feature on the control panel.
