Step 1: Analysis
Analysis of the battery condition (charge level, inversion, etc.)
polarity, wrong battery connected, etc).
Step 2: Charging
Fast charging at maximum current until U1 is reached
(ex: 13.8 V to
)
Step 3: Absorption
Charge under constant voltage U1 (ex: 13.8 V in
Maximum duration 1 hour.
• Abnormal undervoltage protection:
This protection prevents the risk linked to possible short circuits or battery being too damaged. The charger will automatically stop
if the voltage is abnormally low for more than 10 minutes.
TESTER MODE
General navigation :
1 Use the arrows to select the test to be performed
2 Press the START/STOP button to start the test
• Voltage test:
This mode allows you to view the voltage at the terminals of the charging clamps and thus use
your ESS6100 as a voltmeter, in order to measure the battery voltage.
• Start-up test:
The purpose of this mode is to evaluate the state of a vehicle starting system (starter + battery) when the engine is turned on.
This test must be done with the battery connected to the vehicle.
1 Use the arrows to select the nominal voltage of the vehicle battery
2 Press the SELECT button to confirm
3 Connect the clamps to the vehicle battery
4 Start the engine by turning the ignition key
The charger automatically detects the engine start attempt and runs a calculation algorithm
5
to determine the state of the start system.
Test result: The charger indicates the minimum value of the battery voltage perceived during
the engine start phase, as well as the status of the start system in the form of a gauge.
• Alternator test :
This mode is used to determine the condition of the alternator in the vehicle. This test is performed on a vehicle with the engine
running.
1 Use the arrows to select the nominal voltage of the vehicle battery
2 Press the SELECT button to confirm
Test result: The charger indicates the voltage provided by the vehicle alternator, as well the
alternator status in the form of a gauge.
