INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ISTRUZIONI PER L'USO
• Connect the output lead with the black clamp to the negative terminal (-) of the battery.
• Connect the output lead with the red clamp to the motor vehicle's earthing point, keeping it away from the
battery and fuel pipe.
Connecting batteries that are not connected to a motor vehicle
1. Before starting to charge the battery, make sure the power supply lead is not plugged into the mains supply.
2. Connect the output lead with the red clamp to the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
3. Connect the output lead with the black clamp to the negative terminal (-) of the battery.
ATTENTION: Make sure that both clamps of the output leads generate a suitable contact with their
corresponding terminals.
OPERATING BATTERY CHARGER
1. Once the output leads have been connected to the battery, plug the power supply lead of the battery
charger into the mains socket, making sure that the voltage matches the rated voltage of the battery charger
(230V-50Hz); having done this, the battery charger will emit an acoustic signal for 0.5 seconds, and all the
LED indicators on the control panel will switch on for 2 seconds; at this stage, the display shows "- - - -".
2. The battery charger is configured in "stand-by" mode; for example: ON LED on, WET LED on, CHARGE
5-30Ah LED on. The LEDs light up differently based on the last programme saved.
3. At this stage, with the battery charger in "stand-by" mode, set the charging parameters suitable for the
type of battery to be charged, using the keys on the control panel. The charging parameters selected are
displayed by the corresponding LED, which switches on.
Settable charging parameters:
"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
"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 over 100Ah
Flash: Supplies maximum current available at rated voltage as selected by means of "Voltage" key.
"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).
4. Once the charging parameters have been set, press the START/STOP key to start charging the battery.
When the START/STOP and CHARGING LEDs light up, the battery is charging; the display will show the
charging current and the voltage of the battery.
5. The CHARGING LED remains lit in phases "I" and "U0" whilst the battery is charging.
6. When the FULL LED switches on, it means that the battery is fully charged (100%), and the charger will
switch to the maintenance phase, keeping the state of efficiency of the battery constantly monitored, so
that it is always at an optimal level of charge. In this charging phase, the appliance can be left connected to
the battery for several months.
7. If you wish to end or interrupt the charging cycle, follow the charge end/interruption instructions.
INTENTIONAL INTERRUPTION OF CHARGING CYCLE
If you want to interrupt the battery charging cycle, simply press the START/STOP key; the corresponding LED
will switch off to show that the work cycle has ended. Disconnect the output lead of the appliance from the
mains socket and the output leads from the battery terminals.
