Translation of the original instructions
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The chargers ENERGY 124 and 126 are designed to charge lead acid batteries with liquid electrolyte, nominal voltage
from 12V, and with capacity according to the following table:
ENEGRY 124
ENERGY 126
OPERATING MODE WITH TESTER FUNCTION
When it is not connected to the mains supply, this charger is a battery tester. It lets you know the state of the battery.
The integrated voltmeter informs you:
• <12.3V : battery to be charged
• between 12.3 and 12.6V : middle charge
• >12.6V : charged
CONNECTION IN CHARGER FUNCTION
Preliminary precautions
• For indoor use, with good ventilation.
Remove the battery caps if there is, and check the level of liquid. If it is not correct, illed up with distilled water.
•
Clean well the battery terminals.
Check if the battery capacity and voltage are compatible with your charger.
•
Connection and disconnection
• Disconnect from the battery all electronic system during the charge (Do not charge the battery when it is connected
to the vehicle as it may damage the vehicle's on-board electronics).
Connect the clamps (+ red, - black) to + and - battery terminals, making sure you get a good electric contact,
•
respecting the following order.
◦ Connect irst the battery terminal not connected to the chassis of the vehicle.
◦ Then connect the other connection to the chassis remote from the battery and any fuel line.
◦ At last, plug in your charger to 230 V 50/60 Hz mains supply.
After charging, disconnected the battery charger from supply mains. Then remove the chassis connection and the
battery connection, in this order.
Control of the charge process
• You should observe a variation of the voltage indicated by the voltmeter. When this voltage is over 14,8 volts, the
battery has reached its full charge state. The charge must then be stopped.
• Do not connect the charger more than 24 hours on a battery.
PROTECTIONS
Your product has been developed with a maximum of protections:
• The clamps of the battery are isolated.
• The polarity reversal will not cause danger. The protection is insured by an automotive fuse, which must be changed
in case of polarity error. Respect the rating of the fuse, which is indicated on the charger.
• Your charger is protected against over current that can occur with faulty batteries or false use of the product.
• Thermal protection: the transformer of the product is protected by a thermal switch (cooling: about ¼ h).
SULPHATED BATTERIES - START - POWER SUPPLY
• If your battery is sulfated, the indicator of the voltmeter goes directly up to the maximum. In that case, you can try
to recover the battery by letting the charger connected for several hours (24 hours maximum).
Do not leave your charger plugged on your car when you start it. It can break the fuse.
•
Do not use your charger like an auxiliary power supply. It is forbidden to pull up current from the battery when
•
the battery is connected to the charger.
