INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ISTRUZIONI PER L'USO
displays the message "rEC" and shows the instantaneous voltage or current reading; during this step,
the "Charge" LED flashes.
The battery charger performs a special charging cycle, in which higher than average voltages are forced,
to attempt recovery of the battery. In this mode, no error messages are generated during the charging
cycle; when the cycle is completed, a message is displayed to indicate whether or not the battery has
been recovered on the basis of voltage or current absorption. This mode has 6 charging steps, as
described below:
• STEP 1: Test 1. If battery output is above 2.5V, the unit proceeds with the next step. Outputs below
2.5V will cause the device to revert to stand-by.
• STEP 2: Pre-charge. Charge starts at a constant current, until battery voltage reaches 13V.
• STEP 3: Deep cycle charging. The battery charges until the set limit value is reached.
• STEP 4: Constant voltage. Keeps the battery at charge end voltage.
• STEP 5: Buffer. Voltage falls to the maintenance level and the charging cycle is completed. The green
FULL LED will turn on.
• STEP 6: Pulsed current cycle. Pulsed battery maintenance cycle (over long periods).
ATTENTION: Because of the high voltage reached during this charging cycle, the battery
recovery process must be performed with the battery disconnected from the motor vehicle.
Recovery with the battery connected to the motor vehicle may result in damage to the motor
vehicle's electronics.
Minimum battery voltage
For the "Recovery" mode, if the initial voltage of the battery is lower than the values below, the battery
cannot be recovered:
• 6V battery: measured voltage: 1.5V
• 12V battery: measured voltage: 2.5V
• 24V battery: measured voltage: 5.5V

SELECTION KEYS

A) "Voltage" – selects charging voltage
6V: charging voltage for 6V batteries. Keep the key pressed for 3' to activate the feature (the display will
show the message 6U).
12V: charging voltage for 12V batteries.
24V: charging voltage for 24V batteries.
B) "Function" – preset charging bands and Flash mode (output current adjusted automatically)
Charge 5Ah – 30Ah: Supports batteries from 5Ah to 30Ah
Charge 30Ah – 100Ah: Supports batteries from 30Ah to 100Ah
Charge > 100Ah: Supports batteries up to 100Ah
Flash: Supplies maximum current available at rated voltage as selected by means of the " Voltage" key.
C) "Batt" – preset battery types
Agm: optimized cycle for flat plate Agm batteries or Optima type spiral batteries. Charge end at 14.7V
LiFePO4: optimized cycle for LiFePO4 batteries
Wet: optimized cycle for acid electrolyte batteries. Charge end at 14.4V. Keep the key pressed for 3' to
activate the feature (the display will show the message rEC).

Saving settings

The battery charger saves the settings on the front control panel. In the event of an accidental power
loss or voluntary power off, when the charger is restarted, it will restart with the latest saved settings.
Battery testing
The tests within the operating modes may terminate with the signalling of some errors.
• Damaged Battery: the "Fault" LED switches on and the "Start / Stop" LED switches off, and the charger
