Translation of the original instructions
4. Blocked and charge stop.
The battery charge does not start when :
- The battery voltage is inferior to 1V.
- The battery voltage does not match the voltage that is selected on the charger.
The battery charge stops when :
- The START/STOP button is pressed again.
- The continuous charge duration reaches 16h.
Once the battery is charged, the STARTIUM performs a floating/maintenance charge. The charge does
not stop to compensate for self-discharge and maintain the battery at a 100%.
If it is a sealed battery and if the liquid boils, it means the battery is damaged. Is this occurs, it is
recommanded to stop the charge to prevent any risk of explosion.
- The charger will stop if the « automatic restart » has not been activated.
5. Charger mode functions
a. Automatic restart feature:
In the event of a power cut :
- During a normal charge, the STARTIUM switches off. When it switches back on, it does not resume the charge. It
must be manually resumed.
- During a charge with the «Automatic restart» feature on, the STARTIUM switches off. When it switches back on, it
automatically resumes the charge.
To use the «Automatic restart» mode :
- Perform steps 1 and 2 of normal loading.
- When starting the charge (step 3), press the START/STOP button ( - 9) for a long time (> 5 sec.). (
An indicator helps to check if the charge is indeed in «Automatic restart» mode :
- The voltage and percentage LEDs (4 and 5). They do not stay on but will blink.
In this mode, Press the START/STOP button to stop the charge. (
A power supply cut will not stop the charge from resuming.
b. TIMER feature
The TIMER feature (n°14) is used to set a charging time from 10 to 120 min (by steps of 10 min).
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.
To use the «TIMER» function:
- Perform step 1 of normal loading.
- In step 2, choose the charging rate (
with the selection button (
- The button
(14) allows you to select the desired charging time from 10 to 120 min in 10 min steps.
- Press the START / STOP button (
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 (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 START/STOP button.
STARTIUM 330E / 480E / 680E / 980E
