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 (
symbol.
- 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
FIG. C
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).
ATTENZIONE: PRIMA DI UTILIZZARE IL CARICABATTERIE LEGGERE
ATTENTAMENTE IL MANUALE D' ISTRUZIONE!
1. SICUREZZA GENERALE PER L'USO DI QUESTO CARICABATTERIE
- Durante la carica le batterie emanano gas esplosivi, evitate che si
formino fiamme e scintille. NON FUMARE.
- Posizionare le batterie in carica in un luogo areato.
- Le persone inesperte devono essere opportunamente istruite
prima di utilizzare l'apparecchio.
- L'apparecchio può essere utilizzato da bambini di età non inferiore
a 8 anni e da persone con ridotte capacità fisiche, sensoriali o
mentali, o prive di esperienza o della necessaria conoscenza,
)
purché sotto sorveglianza oppure dopo che le stesse abbiano
ricevuto istruzioni relative all'uso sicuro dell'apparecchio e alla
comprensione dei pericoli ad esso inerenti.
- I bambini non devono giocare con l'apparecchio.
- La pulizia e la manutenzione destinata ad essere effettuata
dall'utilizzatore non deve essere effettuata da bambini senza
sorveglianza.
- Usare il caricabatterie esclusivamente all'interno e assicurarsi di operare
in ambienti ben areati: NON ESPORRE A PIOGGIA O NEVE.
- Disinserire il cavo di alimentazione dalla rete prima di connettere o
sconnettere i cavi di carica dalla batteria.
- Non collegare ne scollegare le pinze alla batteria con il caricabatterie
funzionante.
- Non usare nel modo più assoluto il caricabatterie all'interno di
un'autovettura o del cofano.
- Sostituire il cavo di alimentazione solo con un cavo originale.
- Se il cavo di alimentazione è danneggiato, esso deve essere sostituito
dal costruttore o dal suo servizio assistenza tecnica o comunque da una
persona con qualifica similare, in modo da prevenire ogni rischio.
- Non utilizzare il caricabatterie per ricaricare batterie di tipo non
ricaricabili.
- Verificare che la tensione di alimentazione disponibile sia
corrispondente a quella indicata sulla targa dati del caricabatterie.
- Per non danneggiare l'elettronica dei veicoli, leggere, conservare,
rispettare scrupolosamente le avvertenze fornite dai costruttori dei
