Settable charging parameters:
• Voltage key (4): based on the voltage of the battery, select: 12Volt (led I) or 24Volt (led H)
• Function key (5): based on the capacity of the battery and on the work cycle, select:
- Charge 30Ah/80Ah (led G): charge for batteries from 30Ah to 80Ah, maintenance for 30Ah to 250Ah batteries
- Charge 90Ah/330Ah (led F): charge for batteries from 90Ah to 330Ah, maintenance for 90Ah to 500Ah batteries
- Recovery (E): For Wet batteries that have been left unused for a long time and in which the acid has stratified. This
function is only activated when the battery charger is set for Wet batteries.
Attention!: In view of the high voltage reached during this charging cycle, the battery must be disconnected from
the vehicle while it is recovered. If you recover a battery while it is connected to the vehicle, this could damage its
electronics.
- Supply (D): This function is used to keep the memory banks of a vehicle active while the battery is being changed or
in all cases in which the battery is disconnected from the vehicle's circuit. The Supply function is activated both when the
battery charger is set at 12V (voltage output 13.5V) and at 24V (voltage output 27V).
Attention: Never connect the battery charger set at 24V/Supply to a vehicle with system working at 12V, as you could
damage the vehicle's electronics.
• Type key (3), depending on the constructional technology of the battery, select: Wet (led C), Gel (led B) or Agm (led
A).
4. Once you have set the charging parameters, press the START/STOP key (2) to start charging the battery. When the
START/STOP (L) and CHARGING (P) LEDs light up, it means that the battery is being charged; the display will show the
charging current and the voltage of the battery.
5. The CHARGING LED (P) remains lit in phases "I" and "U0" while the battery is charging.
6. When the FULL LED (Q) switches on, it means that the battery is fully charged (100%) and the battery charger will
switch to the maintenance phase, keeping the state of efficiency of the battery constantly monitored so that it is always
at an optimal level of charge. In this charging phase, the appliance can be left connected to the battery for several
months.
7. If you wish to end or interrupt the charging cycle, following the end-of-charging instructions.
INTENTIONAL INTERRUPTION OF THE CHARGING CYCLE
If you want to interrupt the battery charging cycle, simply press the START/STOP key (2); the corresponding LED
switches off to point out that the work cycle has ended. At this stage, you are recommended to disconnect the output
leads of the battery terminals.
INTERRUPTION OF THE CHARGING CYCLE IN THE CASE OF A MAINS BLACKOUT
In the case of blackouts on the 230V mains line, the battery charger saves the work cycle that it was performing in order
to restore it automatically as soon as the power supply of the 230 Volt mains line is restored. This function is fundamental
if the battery charger is used to charge batteries without the operator supervising the cycle; for example, during very long
charging cycles (charge maintenance) or when charging overnight (charges for vehicles that need to be charged daily).
END-OF-CHARGING
1. Once the battery is charged, unplug the power supply lead of the battery charger from the mains.
2. Disconnect the output lead with black clamp from the vehicle's earthing or from the negative terminal (-) of the
battery.
3. Disconnect the output lead with red clamp from the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
SAVING THE CHARGING CYCLES
The battery charger automatically saves the parameters set for the last charge cycle carried out; when it is switched on
again later, the LEDs corresponding to the saved charge parameters will switch on; to modify these parameters, simply
use the individual keys. To reset all the parameters and to go back to the primary configuration, disconnect the battery
charger from the electrical mains and then, holding down the START/STOP (2) key, connect the battery charger to the
mains; the battery charger will be thus configured: ON LED (L) lit, 12V LED (I) lit, Charge 30Ah/80Ah LED (G) lit, Wet
LED(C) lit.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
The battery charger has a digital display that shows the voltage and the current output. Using the A/V (1) key, you can
choose which of the two parameters you wish to display. The display also allows you to view error codes to be able to
check-out feasible anomalies that may occur during the charging process.
