of the accumulator and observe them.The accumulator and the rectifi er must be always
placed on an even, fl at and hard surface. Do not incline the accumulator.Before you connect
the plug of the power cord of the rectifi er, make sure the power supply network parameters
of the power supply network correspond to the parameters indicated in the rating plate of
the rectifi er.The rectifi er must be placed as far from the accumulator as it is permitted by
the cables with terminals. Do not overstretch the cables. Do not place the rectifi er on the
accumulator being charged or directly above it. The fumes generated while charging the
accumulator may cause corrosion of the internal components of the rectifi er, which may in
turn cause its damage.Do not smoke or approach accumulators with an open fl ame. Do not
ever touch the terminals of the rectifi er, when it is connected to the power supply network.Do
not ever start the engine while charging the accumulator.Before each use check the condi-
tions of the rectifi er, including the conditions of the power cord and the charging conductors.
Should any damage be detected, stop using the rectifi er. Damaged cables and conductors
must be replaced with new ones in a professional workshop.Before any maintenance of the
rectifi er is executed, make sure the plug of the power cord has been disconnected from pow-
er supply socket.The rectifi er must be stored away from unauthorised persons, particularly
children. Also during work make sure the rectifi er is placed outside the reach of unauthorised
persons, particularly children.Before connecting the terminals of the rectifi er, make sure the
terminals of the accumulator are clean and free from corrosion. Provide the best possible
electric contact between the terminal of the accumulator and the terminal of the rectifi er.
Do not ever charge a frozen accumulator. Before you commence charging, move the accu-
mulator to a place in which the electrolyte may totally defrost. Do not heat accumulators in
order to accelerate defrosting.Preclude any leakage from accumulators. Any leakage from
the accumulator on the rectifi er may cause a short-circuit and thus an electric shock, which
may be dangerous for health and life.
OPERATION OF THE RECTIFIER
Preparation of the accumulator for charging
Get acquainted with the charging instructions provided along with the accumulator and observe them. In the case of the so called
„wet" acid-lead accumulators" it is necessary to check the level of electrolyte and, if required, replenish it with distilled water to the
level indicated in the documentation of the accumulator. While replenishing the level of electrolyte, observe strictly the recommen-
dations indicated in the documentation of the accumulator.
Connect the terminals of the rectifi er to the terminals of the accumulator, make sure the terminal of the rectifi er marked with a „+"
is connected to the terminal of the accumulator marked with a „+", and the terminal of the rectifi er marked with a „-" is connected
to the terminal of the accumulator marked with a „-".
Connect the plug of the power cord to the power supply socket. The „POWER" diode will go on.
Using the „STEP 1" button, select the proper nominal charging voltage for the accumulator. The selected voltage of 6 V or 12 V
will be indicated with a lit diode next to the given value.
Using the „STEP 2" button, select the kind of the accumulator to be charged. „GEL" – means a lead-gel accumulator; „AGM"
– means an AGM accumulator; „WET" – means an acid-lead accumulator. In case of any doubts as to the kind of accumulator,
contact the manufacturer or the seller, in order to establish the type.
Using the „STEP 3" button, select the charging current. Observe the indications provided by the manufacturer of the accumulator,
but the table below will permit to roughly determine the charging current for the given capacity of the accumulator.
