The charger should be installed into a dry environment. Read instructions carefully. Connect the charger into an earthed socket only. Always push the reset button before disconnecting the battery.. Check always the liquid level of the battery.
STATUS Battery not connected = red
Constant current = orange Constant voltage = orange Completition = fast flashing orange Pause/Trickle charge = green
Explosive gas will be generated during the charging process. Do not use any open fire or sparking equipments close to the battery. The Charging space must be very well ventilated.
Warning! Error = Flashing red.

The MultiPac Pro can be used for a variety of battery types. The MultiPac Pro is one of the few chargers that can charge sealed and unsealed batteries in 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48V for different capacities.
The MultiPac Pro is a battery charger which uses modern switching technology. Its intelligent micro-controller extends the life of the battery by controlling the charging process. The equipment is small, light and meets the safety and EMC requirements established by the EU.
We believe that you will be satisfied with the reliability and batteryfriendliness of MultiPac Pro- charger.
Keep this manual on hand for future reference.
The selection of these 6 different voltages can be made by adjusting the selector switch on the right hand side. With each of the 6 voltages you can chose between 6 different charging currents each for sealed and unsealed batteries.
MultiPac Pro
- 5.0A -> 28 - 45 Ah/5h
- 7.5A -> 45 - 70 Ah/5h
- 12.0A -> 70 - 110 Ah/5h
- 18.5A -> 110 - 170 Ah/5h
- 29.0A -> 170 - 265 Ah/5h
- 30.0A -> 265 - 410 Ah/5h
With the MultiPac you can charge batteries from 28 to 410 Ah/5h in 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48V.
INSTALLATION
3
When choosing a location for the charger, please note the following:
The location must be dry, dust-free, and indoors. The acceptable
temperature range for operation is -20°C* to +40°C. A higher ambient temperature will limit the current supply, see Appendix A. CAUTION: The charger is not waterproof. Keep it dry and away from areas of high humidity to avoid the risk of electrical shock and damageto the charger. .
The equipment may be installed either vertically or horizontally.
To ensure sufficient ventilation, leave approximately 10 cm of space around all sides of the charger. Do not cover the equipment.
The charging process generates explosive hydrogen gas.
Keep the area well ventilated. Never use an open flame or equipment that producessparks near the charger.
* The standard power cord maybreak ifbent in temperaturesbelow -5°C.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR
6
The most common faults are described in Section 4 of the operating instructions.
If the charger does not come on when the battery is connected, there are a few things you can do.
- Check the supply voltage.
- Check if the battery voltage corresponds with the voltage selection switch. If not, disconnect the battery, adjust the voltage selection and reconnect the battery.
If thecause of malfunction cannot be found, contact your retailer or EMROL bvba.
.
The charger shouldbe repaired by authorizedpersonnel only.
WARRANTY
7
The equipment has a warranty of one year from the date of purchase. The warranty covers manufacturing and component failures. The warranty is valid only when the equipment is installed and used accordingto the instructions providedin this manual.
The warranty becomesvoid if the unitis opened.
Keep the receipt as evidence of the date of purchase.
Read these instructions carefully prior to charging. Familiarize yourself with the safety instructions in Section 5.
To chargea battery with MultiPacPro, follow theseinstructions:
Read also the
information in the label on top of the charger. Appendix C.
Ensure that the work environment meets the conditions
described in Section3.
Put the battery type and voltage selection switches in the correct position. Be very carefull! Selecting a wrong battery type may damageyou battery!
The charger constantly monitors its own temperature level and reacts by controlling the charging current and fan speed. Under normal conditions the charger will not overheat
WARNING: Because some sparking may occur as the cables are connected to the battery, the battery should be placed as far from the chargeras possible andthe charger's cablesextended to reach thebattery.
. (See appendix
A).
Connect the charger cables to the battery terminals: the positive (+) cable to the positive(+) terminal andthe negative (-) cable to the negative (-) terminal. The positive cable of the charger is redand the negative cableis black.
OPERATION
4
During the charging process the STATUS light will show the state of the charge. Red => Battery not connected Orange => I,U phase (constant current, voltage) Fast flashing orange => Ia (completion) Green => Pause / Trickle charge Flashing red => Error
The battery isfully charged when theSTATUS light isgreen.
After the main charging the MultiPac willswitch to maintenance charging.
To avoid sparking always push the reset button before disconnecting the battery.
If thecharging cables are too long,you can wind to reelthe extra
cables. If there is a need for longer cables, make sure you do not use cables with a smaller diameter and always connect the sense cable when using longer cables.
If the STATUS light shows a constant red light instead of orange, the battery voltage is either too low or too high, or the battery is notconnected to thecharger. Makesure the battery is suitable for the charger and the voltage selection switches are in the correct position and push the reset button on the side of the charger.
Should the batterynot be fullycharged when MultiPac switches to maintenance charging, the process will terminate and the STATUS light will blink red. This may occur if the battery is faulty or if the battery and the charger are incompatible (see Section 2).
Do not cut the cables.
In addition to the safety measures in Section 3, the following personal precautions should be taken whenever charging batteries:
For emergency situations ensure in advance that help will be available in timeof need.
Batteries contain acid that is harmful to eyes, skin and clothes. Always wear overalls and safety goggles. Never touch your eyes with unwashedhands after handling batteries.
Ensure that aworking, fresh water outletis available. Ifacid gets into your eyes or on your skin, immediately flush the area with plenty of water for several minutes. If visible injury occurs, contact a physician immediately. In the case of eye injuries, always consult aphysician.
The charging process generates explosive hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or otherwise bring burning or sparking matter to the vicinity of thecharger when it isoperating.
If a short-circuit occurs, the battery may explode or the item causing the short may melt. Keep the work area clear of tools and debris. Remove jewelry, watches, etc. before working with the battery.
