OPERATION

Connect the battery pack, checking the polarity.

Plug the charger into the AC supply, thus starting the automatic charging cycle. The display will
show a sequence of details on the charger's internal programming after first displaying "SPE",
it will show the software release installed in the equipment, then the following parameters in
sequence:
battery voltage
o
charging current
o
charging curve number
o
the words "GEL" or "Acd" depending on the charging curve being suitable for
o
sealed (gel or agm) batteries or lead-acid wet batteries.

Make sure the type of batteries to be charged (VRLA or lead-acid wet batteries) matches
the displayed details ("GEL" or "Acd", respectively). If it doesn't, contact your dealer.
Next, a test is run on the battery voltage to decide if the charging process should be started or
not. If the battery is not connected to the battery charger, the display will show the word "bat".
The word will stay on, even if the test is failed (for instance, reversed polarities or incorrect battery
connection). If the test is passed,

the display will show the battery voltage for approximately 5 seconds and the battery will begin
to be charged. The charging cycle progress will be shown by red (3), yellow (4) and green (5)
LED indicators.

At the end of the charge, when the green indicator is on, disconnect the AC power supply and
disconnect the battery pack. (Some charging profiles have a float stage at the end of charge:
in this case the charger can be left connected to the battery pack.)

SOLUTIONS AND CHECKS
Check that the plug is connected to the mains supply.
Check that the fuse is not blown.
Check the connection to the battery and the polarity.
Check the battery for possible faulty components.
This means that the maximum voltage admissible by the
battery has been exceeded. The charging is interrupted.
This means that the maximum temperature has been
exceeded. The charging is interrupted.
This means that the maximum time for the charging phase has
been exceeded. The charging is interrupted.
This means that the total safety timer has interrupted the
charging.
This signals a possible internal short circuit.
