This battery charger can be used to charge lead-acid batteries of the following types only:
“WET” cells: Sealed, with liquid electrolyte inside. Low maintenance or maintenance free (MF), “AGM”, “GEL”.

• Never attempt to charge batteries that cannot be recharged or other types than those indicated.
• Never charge frozen batteries that might explode.

For indoor use only.
WARNING: EXPLOSIVE GAS!

• Batteries generate explosive gas (hydrogen) during normal operation and even greater quantities during recharging.

Avoid creating flames or sparks.

• The battery charger has components such as switches and relays that may create sparks. If the product is used in a garage or similar places, position it adequately far from
  the battery; it should not be inside the vehicle or the engine compartment.

• To avoid creating sparks, make sure that the clamps cannot get detached from the battery terminals when the battery is being charged.

• Never let the cable clamps touch each other.

• It is strictly forbidden to reverse polarity when you connect the clamps to the battery.

Make sure that the plug is unplugged from the socket before connecting or disconnecting the cable clamps.
Provide adequate ventilation during charging

• Always wear safety goggles closed at the sides, acid-proof safety gloves, and acid-proof clothing
• Never use the battery charger with damaged cables orwhenever the charger has been subjected to impact ordamaged.
• Never dismantle the battery charger: take it to an authorizedservice centre.
• Supply cable must be replaced by qualified people.
• Never position the battery charger on flammable surfaces.
• Never place the battery charger and its cables in the wateror on wet surfaces.
• Position the battery charger with adequate ventilation; nevercover it with other objects or close it inside containers orclosed shelves.

Assembly and electrical connection Fig.3,4

• Put together the separate parts contained in the package.
• Make sure that there is a fuse or automatic circuit breaker for the electric line, suitable for the device max input.
• The device must be connected only to a supply system, with an earthed ‘neutral’ lead.

Battery charger connection

Before starting the battery charger, make sure that the battery voltage selected is the right one. Incorrect battery voltage can damage objects and injure people.
To protect the electronic components on the vehicle, carefully read the instructions by the car manufacturer and the battery manufacturer before charging a battery or using the Quick start procedure.

• Connect red charging clamp to positive (+) battery terminal and black charging clamp (-) to negative battery terminal.
• If the battery is installed on a motor vehicle, first connect the clamp to the battery terminal that is not connected to the bodywork. Afterwards, connect the second clamp to the bodywork at a point far from both the battery and the petrol pipes.
• To stop charging the battery. In the following order, cut off the power supply, remove the clamp from the bodywork or the negative (-) terminal, and remove the clamp from the positive (+) terminal.

Charging a battery

Mod.1,2

• Ensure that switch [A] is in 0/OFF position.
• Select the battery voltage [E].
• Select the “BATTERY CHARGER” function [B].
• Select the charging current (output amps adjustment) [D].
• Turn switch [A] to 1/ON.

If the overload cutout is tripped, the ON/OFF [A] light  will go out.

Mod.3

• Select the battery voltage [E].
• Turn switch [A] to 1, 2 for fairly slow charging, or onto 3, 4 for fast charging.
  the position 4 have a timer for max. 1 hour; then the battery charger stops charging. To be operating they need the timer on.
  If the overload cutout is tripped the light [G] will go out.

Mod.4

• Select the battery voltage [E].
• Use the switch [A] to select the charging current.
• Use the switch [F] to select charge with / without timer.
  Charging with the timer, the battery charger works only if the timer is on.

Mod.5

• Select the battery voltage [E].

• Turn switch [A] to CB MIN and switch [A1] to 1,2,3,4 to a fairly slow charging rate, or turn switch [A] to CB MAX and switch [A1] to 1,2,3,4 for fairly fast charging rate.

• Use the switch [F] to select charge with / without timer.
  Charging with the timer, the battery charger works only if the timer is on.

  •   * The ammeter may not indicate any value if the charger is set to Min and is connected to a well charged battery

  • During charging of the battery, the rate of charge, shown on the ammeter will slowly fall until it remains at a steady value (never zero), indicating that the battery is charged.
  • The charging current absorbed by a battery recharging depends on the state of the battery itself. For models with charge settings, select the charging current nearest to 10% of the capacity of the battery for charging. (ex. I=4 Amps. for a battery of 40 Amp/h.). Make sure that the battery capacity (Ah) is not less than that indicated on the battery charger (C-Min).
  • Once a battery is charged and bubbles form in the liquid electrolyte, it is advisable to end the charging so that the battery does not get damaged.

Charging sealed MF, GEL, AGM batteries
You cannot reach the liquid electrolyte in a sealed battery. Do not overcharge batteries and so you will protect the battery life.
Slow charge; frequently check voltage at the battery terminals by means of a regular tester.
Stop charging when voltage reaches 14.4 Volt for 12-Volt batteries; 7.2 Volt for 6-Volt batteries; 28.8 Volt for 24-Volt batteries.
** The battery charger is not fitted with an automatic charge stop and must be disconnected once charge is completed so as not to damage the battery.
Simultaneous charging of a number of batteries.
Fig.5**
Clearly, charging time increases in proportion to the sum of the capacities of the batteries being charged.
Do not charge at the same time different types of batteries, batteries of different capacities (Ah), or at different charge levels.

Starter connection: sequence of operations
IMPORTANT for STARTING:
Before starting the battery charger, make sure that the battery voltage selected is the right one. Incorrect battery voltage can damage objects and injure people.
To protect the electronic components on the vehicle, carefully read the instructions by the car manufacturer and the battery manufacturer before charging a battery or using the Quick start procedure.

• To protect the vehicle electronics:
  √ Do not use the quick start procedure if the battery is sulphated or faulty.
  √ Do not use the quick start procedure if the battery is not connected to the vehicle: The presence of the battery is essential to eliminate any overvoltage that may be created
  as the result of energy accumulated in the connecting cables at the quick start phase.

• To facilitate a quick start, it is advisable to make a quick charge of 10-15 minutes.

• Observe the quick start / pause cycles on the rating plate or in the technical data so that the battery charger does not overheat: For example, 5’’ ON / 10’’ OFF 5 Cycle.

• Do not repeatedly try quick starts if the motor does not start: This may damage the battery or the vehicle electric system.

Mod.1, 2

• Ensure that switch [A] is in 0/OFF position.
• Select the battery voltage [E].
• Turn switch [B] to START; [D] switch setting has no influence.
• Turn switch [A] to 1/ON.
• Turn the vehicle ignition key.

Mod.3

• Select the battery voltage [E].
• Turn switch [A] to START.
• Turn the vehicle ignition key.

Mod.4

• Select the battery voltage [E].
• Turn switch [A] to START.
• Turn the ignition key and push the remote control switch.

Mod.5

• Select the battery voltage [E].
• Turn switches [A] and [A1] to START.
• Turn the ignition key and push the remote control switch. If the remote control switch doesn’t work it is possible to effect the boosting operation also by the switch [A]: turn the ignition key turning the engine over for only 4 -5 seconds at each attempt and the switch [A] to START MAN. The position START MAN is automatically resetted releasing the knob.

Safety fuse that protects against short circuits and reverse polarity. [H].
This fuse interrupts the electric circuit every time there is surcharge caused by a short circuit at the clamps or the battery cells, or by reverse polarity at the battery terminals (+; -).
However, there may be other irregular situations that the fuse cannot protect against. (For instance, a battery with a very low charge connected and the polarity is reversed).

Always make sure that the polarity is correct so as not to injure people or damage things.
Disconnect the battery charger from the mains before replacing fuses.
The appliance is equipped with a thermostatic cut-out with automatic reset which is tripped in case of thermal overload to protect the device against any overheating.
