DISPOSING OF THE DEVICE YOUR OBLIGATION AS AN END USER
Products marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol and a single black bar underneath, contain parts that must be handled in compliance with the WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU. The appliance may therefore only be collected and taken back separately from unsorted municipal waste, i.e. it must not be disposed of with household waste. The appliance can, for example, be taken to a municipal collection point or, where applicable, to a distributor. This also applies to all components, sub-assemblies, and consumables of the old appliance to be disposed of. Before the old appliance can be disposed of, all old batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed in the old appliance must be separated from the old appliance. The same applies to lamps that can be removed from the old appliance without being destroyed. The end user is also responsible for deleting personal data from the old appliance.

NOTES ON RECYCLING

Help to recycle all materials marked with this symbol. Do not dispose of such materials, especially packaging, in the household waste but in the recycling containers provided or in the appropriate local collection systems.
Recycle electrical and electronic equipment for environmental and health protection.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: CS ONE

1. Connect the supplied battery terminal clamps to the CS ONE output port.

2. Connect the battery clamps to the 12 V battery. The CS ONE has built-in polarity protection to prevent damage to your battery. The battery clamps can be safely installed at either terminal point.
   Note : Refer to the vehicle/battery manufacturer guide for terminal connection points.

TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQ

The CS ONE shows two BLINKING red lights, what does that mean?

|

This indicates that the CS ONE does not work as it should.

| Disconnect from battery and supply outlet → wait several minutes → reconnect and try again.

If this happens every time the CS ONE is used, please contact the dealer, the CS ONE may be broken and need to be replaced.

The CS ONE shows two steady red lights, what does that mean?

|

This indicates that there is either a faulty connection to the battery or the battery being charged is faulty.

| If the indication shows immediately when attempting a charge → check that the connection is not short circuited or the battery voltage is not higher than 16V.

If the indication shows some time after charging has started, this means the charge is interrupted as there might be something wrong with the battery. Disconnect all possible consumers and try again. If the problem persists, CTEK recommend to get the battery tested – it may need replacing.

The white lights keeps circling on the CS ONE after the battery is connected, why?

| The circling white light on the CS ONE shows that the charger seeking / analyzing the battery. If this process takes longer than 60 seconds, it is an indication of poor contact between the battery and the charger – or a battery drained too low (<1,5V for lead acid and a lithium that has closed down, Under Voltage Protection).| Check all connection points, including connections into the CS ONE. If the problem persists, using the free CTEK APP begin the ‘WAKE UP’ procedure to start the charge.

If the problem persists, CTEK recommend to get the battery tested – it may need replacing.

What does it mean when the ‘START’ indicator is blinking?

|

It means that the battery does not have enough power to start the vehicle.

|

Continue to charge until the ‘START’ indicator becomes permanently lit.

| __

This indicates that there is either a faulty connection to the battery or the battery being charged is faulty.

| Disconnect the battery from the vehicle or from the load → run wake up procedure again. If it still does not work, the battery might be broken or has closed down (LiFePO4).

CTEK recommend to get the battery tested – it may need replacing.

__

Cannot choose the ‘WAKE UP’ function on the app, why is it missing?

| __

‘WAKE UP’ is only available when the CS ONE cannot find the battery.

__

How does the ‘SUPPLY’ function work in the CTEK APP?

| In ‘SUPPLY’ the CS ONE works as a supply unit, giving out a constant voltage of 13,6 volt and as much current as required (max 8 ampere). There is also an output power limit of 100 watt.| __

No action required.

I have used the ‘SUPPLY’ function from the CTEK APP but it will not go back to charging, why?| __

The charging mode will need to be changed via the CTEK APP.

| __

After using the ‘SUPPLY’ function from the CTEK APP, choose the operation ‘RESET TO ‘APTO’ to make the battery charge again.

How does the ‘RECOND’ function work in the CTEK APP?| The ‘RECOND’ function should only be used on wet lead acid batteries (Not Lithium LiFePO4, GEL or AGM batteries). In ‘RECOND’ the CS ONE will firstly go through all of the charging steps until the battery is fully charged. The voltage is then raised in a controlled way to prevent acid stratification and prolong battery life. ‘RECOND’ should only be used 1-2 times per year.| __

1. The back current drain is the current that drains the battery if the charger is not connected to the mains. CTEK chargers have a very low back current.
2. The quality of the charging voltage and charging current is very important. A high current ripple heats up the battery which has an aging effect on the positive electrode. High voltage ripple could harm other equipment that is connected to the battery. CTEK battery chargers produce very clean voltage and current with low ripple.
