GYS NEOSTART 320 Manual De Instrucciones página 13

Translation of the original instructions
Charging several batteries simultaneously.
It is possible to charge several batteries simultaneously by connecting them in parallel. The positive terminals connected
to the red clamp and the negative terminals connected to the black clamp. These batteries or battery groups must be
of the same voltage, 12V or 24V.
Charging batteries in series is not recommended.
USE IN STARTER MODE
Preliminary precautions
• Do not disconnect the battery fom the vehicle. Connecting the battery can lead to the vehicle's memory loss and a
potential impossibility to restart it.
Start
Once the charger is connected to the vehicle battery while following the instructions (see connections and disconnections),
it may be necessary to perform a pre charge in order to start the vehicle.
To perform a pre charge, set the switch to «BOOST 2» for the NEOSTART 320 and «BOOST» for the NEOSTART 420
and 620.
Neostart
320
Neostart 420
Neostart 620
To start the vehicle, set the switch to «START». Reach the vehicle controls. By turning the key, the start mode activates.
This mode must be stopped once the vehicle is started. It is recommended to do this with 2 people so that the person
close to the NEOSTART can switch to START at the exact moment and stop the device once the vehicle has startted.
If your engine does not start, wait 2 minutes between each start attempt. The attempt must last 3 seconds at most.
Nb : If the vehicle does not start, it may be a problem other than a faulty battery e.g. alternator, glowplug...
After the use, follow the disconnection procedure.
PROTECTIONS
These clamps have been designed for maximum protection :
• The charging clamps are fully insulated.
• A fuse guarantees protection against polarity inversion and short circuits.
- Neostart 420 and 620 : ref. 054547, calibre 200 A (type SIBA V-Fuse / open type)
- Neostart 320 : ref. 054639, calibre 150 A (type Littlefuse BF1 / 32 V)
Replacing it requires manual intervention..
• A breaker, on the front panel, guarantees protection against tranformer overloads and start attempts in charge mode.
If the breaker trips, it needs to be manually activated.
• The thermal protection is monitored by a thermostat (cooling for approximately 1/4h). The green indicator switches
off in the even of overheating.
SULFATED OR DAMAGED BATTERIES
The NEOSTART does not detect sulfated or damaged batteries.
• The battery is badly damaged when in charge, the anmeter pin goes up quicky to very high intensities. The battery is
permanently damaged.
• In the event of a sulfated battery : set the device to «BOOST» for the Neostart 420 and 620 or «BOOST 2» for
the Neostart 320 ad regularly check that the amperemeter indicates a charging current. As soon as the charging
current rises, set a charge that matches the battery capacity. If there are no improvement after 5 hours, the battery is
permanently damaged.
Warning - This must be done with the battery disconnected from the vehicle !
