INSTRUCTION MANUAL
WARNING: BEFORE USING THE BATTERY CHARGER READ THE
INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY.
1. GENERAL SAFETY RULES WHEN USING THIS BATTERY CHARGER
- During the charge the battery produces explosive gases, avoid the
formation of flames and sparkes. DO NOT SMOKE.
- Position the batteries to be charged in a well-ventilated place.
- Inexperience and untrained people should be properly instructed
before using the appliance.
- This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in
a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
- Children shall not play with the appliance.
- Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
- Use the battery charger only indoors and make sure that you start it in
airy places. DO NOT SET IN THE RAIN OR SNOW.
- Disconnect the mains cable before connecting to or disconnecting the
charging cables from the battery.
- Do not connect or disconnect the clamps to or from the battery with
the battery charger operating.
- Never use the battery charger inside the car or in the bonnet.
- Substitute the mains cable only with an original one.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
- Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries which are not
rechargeable.
- Make sure the available power supply voltage corresponds to that
shown on the battery charger rating plate.
- To avoid damaging the vehicle's electronics, read, keep and take very
careful note of the information supplied by the vehicle manufacturer,
when using the battery charger either for charging or starting; the
same applies to the instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.
- This battery charger has components such as switches and relays which
can cause arcs or sparks. Therefore when using it in a garage or in a
similar place set the battery charger in a suitable case.
- Repair or maintenance of the inside of the battery charger can be
executed only by skilled technicians.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE FROM
-
THE MAINS BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE INTERVENTION
ON THE BATTERY CHARGER.
- Make sure the power outlet is protected by an earth connection.
- For those models without one, connect a plug with suitable capacity in
relation to the fuse size shown on the data plate.
2. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
- This battery charger can be used to charge free electrolyte lead acid
batteries used on petrol and diesel engine vehicles, motor cycles, boats
etc.
- The charging current delivered by the battery decreases according to
the characteristic W bend - see the DIN 41774 norm.
- The charger case has a protection degree of IP 20 and is protected
against indirect contacts by an earth lead as required for class I
equipment.
3. INSTALLATION
ASSEMBLY (FIG.A)
- Unpack the battery charger and assemble the separate parts contained
in the package.
- Models on wheels are to be set in a vertical position.
POSITIONING THE BATTERY CHARGER
- During operation, position the battery charger on a stable surface

(EN)

and make sure that there is no obstruction to air passage through the
openings provided to ensure sufficient ventilation.
CONNECTION TO THE MAIN SUPPLY
- The battery charger should be connected only and exclusively to a
power source with the neutral lead connected to earth.
Check that the mains voltage is the same as the voltage of the
equipment.
- Check that the power supply is protected by systems such as fuses or
automatic switches, sufficient to support the maximum absorption of
the equipment.
- The connection to the main supply has to be made using a suitable
cable.
- If you put an extension to the primary cable, the section should be
adequate and, in any case, never less than that of the cable supplied.
- You always have to earth the equipment with the yellow/green wire
contained in the main cable, indicated by the label (), while the other
two wires should be connected to the mains.
- You can change the voltage at the special voltage change terminal
board (FIG. E).
4. OPERATION
BEFORE CHARGING
NB: Before charging check that the capacity of the battery (Ah) which
is to be charged, is not inferior to that reported on the data table.
(C min).
Follow the instructions, taking great care to respect the order given
below.
- Remove the caps of the battery charger (if foreseen) so as to let the gas
produced go out.
- Check that the level of the electrolyte covers the plates of the battery. If
these were not covered add distilled water and cover them up to 5-10
mm.
WARNING: USE THE MAXIMUM CAUTION DURING THIS
OPERATION AS THE ELECTROLYTE IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE
ACID.
- Please remember that the exact charge status of the battery can only be
determined by using a densimeter which allows measurement of the
specific gravity of the electrolyte the following indicate approximate
density values for the solute (Kg/l at 20°c):
1.28 = charged battery
1.21 = half-charged battery
1.14 = flat battery
- With the power supply cable disconnected from the mains outlet,
connect the charge terminals according to the rated voltage of the
battery to be charged, turn the switch to the charge position, and set
the timer in the normal charging position.
- Check the polarities of the battery terminals: positive for the + symbol
and negative for the - symbol.
NOTE: if the symbols are indistinguishable remember that the positive
terminal is the one not connected to the vehicle chassis.
- Connect the red charge clamp to the positive terminal of the battery ( +
symbol).
- Connect the black charge clamp to the vehicle chassis, at a safe
distance from the battery and the fuel pipe.
NOTE: if the battery is not installed in the vehicle, connect the clamp
directly to the negative terminal of the battery (- symbol).
CHARGE
- Power the battery charger by inserting the power supply cable into the
power outlet and turning the switch (if present) to ON.
- The ammeter (if present) will indicate the current (in Amps) delivered
towards the battery: during this phase the pointer of the ammeter
will decrease slowly to very 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.
