Neostart 420
Neostart 620
To start the vehicle, set the switch to «START». Reach the vehicle controls. By turning the key, the start mode activates.
This mode must be stopped once the vehicle is started. It is recommended to do this with 2 people so that the person
close to the NEOSTART can switch to START at the exact moment and stop the device once the vehicle has startted.
If your engine does not start, wait 2 minutes between each start attempt. The attempt must last 3 seconds at most.
Nb : If the vehicle does not start, it may be a problem other than a faulty battery e.g. alternator, glowplug...
After the use, follow the disconnection procedure.
PROTECTIONS
These clamps have been designed for maximum protection :
• The charging clamps are fully insulated.
• A fuse guarantees protection against polarity inversion and short circuits.
- Neostart 420 and 620 : ref. 054547, calibre 200 A (type SIBA V-Fuse / open type)
- Neostart 320 : ref. 054639, calibre 150 A (type Littlefuse BF1 / 32 V)
Replacing it requires manual intervention..
• A breaker, on the front panel, guarantees protection against tranformer overloads and start attempts in charge mode.
If the breaker trips, it needs to be manually activated.
• The thermal protection is monitored by a thermostat (cooling for approximately 1/4h). The green indicator switches
off in the even of overheating.
SULFATED OR DAMAGED BATTERIES
The NEOSTART does not detect sulfated or damaged batteries.
• The battery is badly damaged when in charge, the anmeter pin goes up quicky to very high intensities. The battery is
permanently damaged.
• In the event of a sulfated battery : set the device to «BOOST» for the Neostart 420 and 620 or «BOOST 2» for
the Neostart 320 ad regularly check that the amperemeter indicates a charging current. As soon as the charging
current rises, set a charge that matches the battery capacity. If there are no improvement after 5 hours, the battery is
permanently damaged.
Warning - This must be done with the battery disconnected from the vehicle !
TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptoms
The machine's anmeter does not
fluctuate .
NEOSTART 320 / 420 / 620
Instantaneous
12 V 35 - 60 Ah
24 V 35 - 45 Ah
Instantaneously
35 - 80 Ah
45 - 100 Ah
Causes
Power supply problem.
Clamps in short circuit or polarity
reversal.
The battery that you are trying to
charge is faulty.
Voltage error (12 -24V)
Following intensive use, your device
has entered thermal protection mode.
NEOSTART 320 :
5 min pre charge
60 - 120 Ah
45 - 90 Ah
NEOSTART 420 and 620 :
5 min pre charge
80 - 160 Ah
100 - 200 Ah
Check your mains power supply.
Check that the device is on charge mode.
Check that the fuses have not melted and that the
circuit breaker is not tripped
Check the terminals' voltage with a voltmeter. If this
voltage jumps instantaneously to 2.5V per element,
the battery may be sulfated or damaged.
Chck that the switch is on the right setting (12 or
24V)
Wait 1/4h so the device can cool down.
