Translation of the original instructions

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The GYSFLASH 18.12 PL is designed to charge lead-acid batteries (Gel, AGM, Liquid, ...) and lithium of the Lithium Iron Phosphate
(LFP / LiFePO4).
This charger is suited for the charge of:
- Lead-acid batteries 12 V (6 elements in series) from 15 Ah to 270 Ah.
- LFP batteries 12V (4 elements in series) from 7 Ah to 270 Ah
The Gysflash 18.12 PL is equipped with a function that :
- when charging a lead-acid battery, adjusts the output voltage automatically according to the ambi-ent air
temperature. This adjustment allows for a very accurate lead-acid battery charge adapted to the temperature.
- When charging a lithium battery, the charge is prevented if the ambient temperature is below 3°C.
In both cases, the adjustment can take between 1 and 10 minutes before the charge starts or stops.
CALIBRATION CABLE
Procedure for the calibration of the charging leads in order for the charger to compensate any voltage drop due to the length or
condition of the cables. It is strongly recommended to perform this procedure each time the cables are modified or changed.
1. Before undertaking the procedure, make sure that the charger is disconnected from the mains socket.
2. Short-circuit the ends of the charging leads.
3. Press buttons
4. Plug in the mains plug while holding down the two buttons until the indicator light
- Indicator is on: the calibration was successful.
- Indicator is on: the calibration failed, disconnect the mains plug and restart the procedure.
5. Unplug the mains plug until the charger switches off.
START UP
1. Connect the charger to the battery.
2. Plug the charger to the mains (single phase 220-240Vac 50-60Hz).
3. Select the mode by pressing button
seconds, the charge starts automatically. By default, the charger starts on the last mode used, except when in Supply mode.
4. During the charge, the device indicates the charge progress. When indicator
Once indicator stays on, the battery is fully charged.
5. The charge can be interrupted at any time by unplugging the mains plug or pressing the
6. After the charge, disconnect the charger from the mains, then disconnect the charger's connections from the battery.

Mode designed for the recharge of 12 V lithium batteries from 7 Ah to 270 Ah. Automatic eight step
charge cycle.
Some Lithium batteries incorporate a UVP protection (Under Voltage Protection) which
disconnect the battery in case of deep discharge. This protection prevents the charger from
detecting the battery. In order for the Gysflash 18.12 PL to be able to charge the battery, it
is necessary to deactivate the UVP protection. To do this, select the Lithium charging mode
