Engine Start - Snap-On EEBC500A Manual Del Usuario

12. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
AUTOMATIC CHARGING
1. Set Battery VOLTAGE to 6V or 12V.
(24V is not available.)
ALWAYS VISUALLY CONFIRM THE VOLTAGE OF THE
BATTERY BEING CHARGED. NOT DOING SO CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY AND VEHICLE'S
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE
OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR.
2. Set BATTERY TYPE to STANDARD, AGM, or GEL.
If unsure, consult the label on the battery or the
battery manufacturer.
3. Set OUTPUT RATE to MAINTAIN (4A), FAST (15A)
or BOOST.
4. Charging will start when the START/STOP button is
pressed and finish automatically.
5. CHARGED/MAINTAINING (green) LED will light
when finished and charger will maintain battery.
6. To stop the battery maintaining process, press the
START/STOP button.
BATTERY VOLTAGE BOOSTING
1. Set Battery VOLTAGE to 6V, 12V or 24V.
ALWAYS VISUALLY CONFIRM THE VOLTAGE OF THE
BATTERY BEING CHARGED. NOT DOING SO CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY AND VEHICLE'S
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE
OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR.
NOTE: Additional safety settings have been added to the
EEBC500A software. When the unit is in the 24 volt mode,
the voltage boost output will not activate if battery voltage is
less than 15.5 volts. If a 24 volt battery has voltage below
15.5 volts, the voltage will be shown on the digital display
and the "Volts" and "24V" LEDs will flash.The START/
STOP button must be pressed again after confirmation that
the unit is operating on a 24V system.
2. Set BATTERY TYPE to STANDARD, AGM, or GEL.
If unsure, consult the label on the battery or the
battery manufacturer.
3. Set OUTPUT RATE to BOOST.
EEBC500A-Z
NOTE: This mode should not be used for smaller
batteries (lawn tractor, motorcycle, etc.).
4. VOLTAGE BOOST will start when the START/STOP
button is pressed and will hold batteries at the following
voltages:
6V: held at 6.8V
12V: held at 13.6V
24V: held at 27.2V
5. VOLTAGE BOOST will end when the START/STOP
button is pressed.

ENGINE START

1. Follow the instructions for connecting the charger to
the battery and power source in the "Connecting the
Charger" section.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START A VEHICLE WITHOUT
THE BATTERY INSTALLED. DOING SO MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
The following items could cause an excessive voltage
surge and should be checked before using the "Engine
Start" mode:
• Confirm the vehicle's battery terminal connections are
securely tightened and corrosion-free.
• Confirm headlights and all accessories are turned off.
• Confirm the battery is in good condition and not
sulfated. As a diagnostic aid, the EEBC500A can be
used to detect a "bad" or "heavily sulfated" battery
before attempting to "Engine Start" the vehicle.
Follow steps below to diagnose your battery:
a. Connect the charger to the "dead" vehicle battery
and set the OUTPUT RATE to FAST. Press the
START/STOP button and then press the Display
Mode button to show "voltage" on the display.
b. If the display rapidly climbs to over 15V DC
within a few seconds the battery is bad or heavily
sulfated. Do not perform an "Engine Start"
operation on this battery.
c. The bad battery could allow the charger to sup-
ply a high enough voltage in Engine Start mode to
damage the vehicle electrical system (similar to t
"no battery" warning stated above in item #1).
