GENERAL INFORMATION AND WARNINGS

• Electronic automatic battery charger with microprocessor suitable for any battery type.

• Fully automatic charging cycle with electronic setting; protected against overload, short-circuit at clamps

and reversed polarity.

• Never disconnect the battery while charging: this could cause sparks.

• Never use the equipment in the rain, in areas used for washing or in damp areas.

• Before starting to charge, make sure the voltage of the equipment suits the voltage of the battery, that the charging

current suits the capacity of the battery and that the selected charging curve (for lead-acid batteries or airtight gel batteries) is correct for the type of battery to be charged. In addition, make sure the rated input voltage of the charger suits the available supply voltage and the system is equipped with grounding.

• If necessary, replace the fuse with another of the same type and value as indicated on the rating plate.

• Use battery chargers only in well ventilated areas.

• Pay attention to any remarks of the battery manufacturer.

For lead-acid batteries with liquid electrolyte:

• Control the water level after each charging process.

• Refill with distilled water only.

• Caution! The gases generated during charging are explosive. Do not smoke in the vicinity of the

batteries. When working with cables and electrical equipment, avoid open flames and sparks.

• Attention: Use protective glasses and gloves during battery maintenance. Battery acid causes injuries. In case of contact with battery acid, wash the affected parts with a lot of fresh water and consult a doctor if necessary.

CONTROLS (see figure behind the cover)

1. Three-digit display + symbol (1), to view A = the charging current, U = the battery voltage, h = the charging time, C = the charging ampere-hours [Ah], E = the energy used [KWh].

2. Button for the Selection of the display mode (2): A, U, h, C, E. After about 10 seconds the display returns to the visualization of the charging current.

3. Red control indicator (3): when it is on, the charging cycle has started.

4. Yellow control indicator (4): when it is on, the final phase of the charging cycle has started.

5. Green control indicator (5): when it is on, the charging cycle has finished.

OPERATION

• Plug the cord into a socket.

• Connect the battery, checking the polarity.

• Now, the battery charger’s display will show a sequence of details on the charger’s internal programming:

after the name “SPE”, it will show the software release installed in the equipment, then, in sequence, the following parameters: battery voltage, charging current, charging curve number and, finally, the words “GEL” or “Acd” depending on the set up charging curve being suitable for airtight gel batteries or lead- acid batteries. Make sure the type of batteries to be charged (gel or lead-acid batteries) matches the displayed details (“GEL” or “Acd”, respectively). If it doesn’t, contact our dealer. Now, a test is run on the battery voltage to decide if the charging process should be started or not. If the battery is not connected to the battery charger, the display will show the word “bat”. The word will stay on, even if the test is failed (for instance, reversed polarities or incorrect battery connection). If the test is passed, the display will show the battery voltage for approximately 5 seconds and the battery will begin to be charged. The charging cycle progress will be shown by red (3), yellow (4) and green (5) LED indicators. At the end of the charge, when the green indicator (5) is on, unplug ther cord from the socket and operate the machine.

PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS AND CHECKS

The battery charger does not switch on Check that the plug is connected to the supply mains and that

the fuse is efficient.

The charging cycle does not start and the message ‘bat’ is displayed The yellow indicator (4) will not light up even 15 hours from the starting of the charging cycle, and the display shows E03. The message E01 is displayed

If the battery charger is provided with a safety thermostat and the message E02 is displayed. The message E03 is displayed

The message SCt is displayed The message Srt is displayed

Check the connection to the battery and the polarity. Check the battery for possible faulty components.

This means that the maximum voltage admissible by the battery has been exceeded. The charging is interrupted. This means that the maximum temperature has been exceeded. The charging is interrupted.

This means that the maximum time for the charging phase has been exceeded. The charging is interrupted. This means that the total safety timer has interrupted the charging. This signals a possible internal short circuit.
