low values according to the capacity and condition of the
battery.
NOTE: Once the battery is charged you may note the liquid
inside the battery starting to "boil". It is advisable to stop
charging when this phenomenon appears so as to prevent
damage to the battery.
By means of the switch, select the charge current according
to the type of battery and its charge condition. This value is
shown by the ammeter on the scale with the lower value.
Note that slow charging is the best guarantee for longer
battery life as there is less heating, thus preventing plate
oxidation and electrolyte boiling.
The ideal current value is 1/10 the ampere-hour power of the
battery. For example, for a 40 Amp battery the optimum
charge current is 4 Amps.
Simultaneous charging of several batteries
This operation must be performed with great caution:
WARNING; do not simultaneously charge different types of
batteries or batteries with different capacities or levels of
discharge.
If you have to charge more than one battery at the same time
you can connect them "in series" or "in parallel". Between the
two systems, we recommend connection in series because
you can easily check the current charging each battery, as it
will be the same as that shown by the ammeter.
NOTE: If two batteries with rated voltages of 12V are
connected in series, the battery charger MUST be set to the
24V position.
END OF CHARGE
-
Remove the power supply from the battery charger by
turning the switch to OFF (if present) and/or removing the
power supply cable from the mains outlet.
-
Disconnect the black charge clamp from the chassis of
the vehicle or from the negative terminal of the battery (-
symbol).
-
Disconnect the red charge clamp from the positive
terminal of the battery (+ symbol).
-
Store the battery charger in a dry place.
-
Close up the battery cells with the appropriate plugs (if
present).
STARTING
Before starting the vehicle, make sure the battery is
connected properly to the respective (+ and -) terminals,
and that it is in good condition (not sulphated or dud).
Never ever start vehicles with the batteries
disconnected from their respective terminals; the
presence of the battery is essential for the elimination of
possible overvoltage that may be generated due to
energy accumulating in the connection cables at the
starting stage.
For starting turn the switch to the start position at the voltage
corresponding to that of the vehicle being started.
It is essential, before turning the ignition key, to make a rapid
charge for 5-10 seconds, which will greatly facilitate starting.
Rapid charging should always be done with the battery
charger switched to the charge position and NOT to
starting.
It is possible to enable starting by pressing the remote control
button (only for 3-phase).
The current supplied is indicated on the scale of the ammeter
with greater capacity.
WARNING: Before proceeding with starting follow the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions carefully!
- Make sure the power line is protected by fuses or
automatic circuit-breakers with sizes as indicated on the
rating plate by the (
- In order to prevent overheating in the battery charger,
ALWAYS carry out the starting operation according to the
duty cycle (work/pause) as indicated on the appliance (e.g.
START 3s ON 120s OFF-5 CYCLES). Do not insist if the
engine does not start: this could cause serious damage to
the battery or even to the electrical equipment in the
vehicle.

5. BATTERY CHARGER PROTECTIONS (FIG. D)
The battery charger is equipped with protection in case of:
-
Overloads (too much current delivered towards the
battery).
-
Short circuit (charging clamps set in contact with one
another).
-
Polarity reversal of the battery.
-
For battery chargers equipped with fuses, it is necessary,
in case of substitution of fuses, to use spares having the
same nominal current value as the fuse changed.
WARNING: If fuses with current values different
from those given were used damages to persons and
things could be caused. For the same reason do not
substitute the fuse with copper (or other materials)
bridge.
The substitution of the fuses is to be done when the
mains cable is disconnected from the mains.
6. USEFUL ADVICE
-
Clean the positive and negative terminals of possible
oxidation so as to ensure good contact with the clamps.
-
Never ever allow the two clamps to come into contact
when the battery charger is plugged into the mains. If you
do the fuse will blow.
-
If the battery charger is used with a battery which is
always connected to a vehicle, check the instruction
and/or maintenance manual of the vehicle under the
paragraph: "ELECTRIC SYSTEM" or "MAINTENANCE".
Before charging it is advisable to disconnect the positive
cable which is part of the electrical system of the vehicle.
- Check the battery voltage before connecting it to the
battery charger. Remember that 3 caps correspond to a 6
volt battery, while 6 caps to a 12 volt battery. At times you
may have two 12 volt batteries. Sometimes there may be
two 12Volt batteries in series, in which case a voltage of
24Volt is required to charge both accumulators. Make
sure they have the same specifications to prevent uneven
charging.
- Before proceeding with starting, carry out a rapid charge
for a few minutes: this will limit the starting current, hence
also requiring less mains current. Before starting the
vehicle, remember to make sure the battery is connected
properly to the respective (+ and -) terminals, and that it is
in good condition (not sulphated or dud).
Never ever start vehicles with the batteries disconnected
from their respective terminals; the presence of the
battery is essential for the elimination of possible
overvoltage that may be generated due to energy
accumulating in the connection cables at the starting
stage.
- If the engine does not start, do not insist, but wait a few
minutes and then repeat the rapid charge operation.
- Starting should always be carried out with the battery
connected (see the section on STARTING).
