OPERATING MODES

FUNCTION
Note: All modes support both 12V and 24V batteries (voltages stated for 12V batteries). CHARGE MODE Battery charging mode

Provides 11 charging steps as described below:

  • STEP 1: Analysis 1: If the battery output is less than 10.5V the unit proceeds with the next analysis. Outputs below 5V will cause the charger to revert to stand-by.
  • STEP 2: Analysis 2 (sulphated battery): The display shows the message “ANALYSIS” alternating with the instantaneous voltage or current. After this step the unit either starts the charging cycle directly or it displays the message “SULPHATED BATTERY” to inform the operator that the battery must be recovered.
  • STEP 3: Desulphation: Pulsed voltage to prevent sulphation of the battery.
  • STEP 4: Controlled current: Charges the battery up to the programmed limit value.
  • STEP 5: Analysis 3 (elements short circuited): Checks whether the battery has short circuited elements or is damaged and reports the error, if present.
  • STEP 6: Deep Cycle Charging: Central charging cycle.
  • STEP 7: Constant Voltage: Keeps the battery at the charging end voltage.
  • STEP 8: Analysis 4:. Checks whether the battery has short circuited elements or is damaged and reports the error, if present.
  • STEP 9: Trickle charging: Maintains the battery at 13.8V (WET) or 13.5V (AGM/SPIRAL CELL).
  • STEP 10: Analysis 5: Checks whether the battery has short circuited elements or is damaged and reports the error, if present.
  • STEP 11: Pulsed current cycle: Cycle that simulates the normal life cycle of the battery.

START MODE
To start a vehicle with a flat battery, this mode consists of the following steps:

  • STEP 1: Battery analysis: The charger’s Start LED flashes.

  • STEP 2: Fast Charging: The charger enters this step if the Start LED is steadily on. It sets the charge end voltage
    associated with the selected battery type with the current limit defined for the Start step.

  • STEP 3: Engine Boost: When the battery charger detects an engine cranking attempt, it switches to the next step. If the battery voltage reading is above 13.5V the scrolling message START appears on the display.

  • STEP 4: Boost: The scrolling message START appears on the display: the battery charger is now delivering the maximum power.

SUPPLY MODE
Power supply mode to assist in vehicle programming. This mode does not contain any charging steps, and it consists exclusively of a stabilised power supply delivering the nominal battery voltage. The purpose is that of supplying current to support the battery to prevent it from being drained during operations that require power for short or long periods.

RECOVERY MODE
WARNING: because of the high voltage reached during this cycle, the battery recovery process MUST be performed with the battery disconnected and removed from the vehicle. Recovery with the battery connected to the vehicle may result in damage to the vehicle’s electronics.
This is the method of recovery for sulphated batteries accessible by means of a prolonged press of 3 seconds of the Function button. The screen displays the message RECOVERY alternating with the instantaneous voltage or current reading; during this step the Charge LED flashes. The charger performs a special charging cycle in which higher than average voltages are forced to attempt recovery of the battery. In this mode no error messages are generated during the charging cycle. At the end of the cycle a message is displayed to indicate whether or not the battery has been recovered on the basis of the current absorption.

This mode has six steps as described below:

  • STEP 1: Analysis 1: Outputs below 1.5V will cause the device to revert to standby.
  • STEP 2: Desulphation: Pulsed voltage in order to prevent sulphation of the battery.
  • STEP 3: Controlled Current: Charges the battery up to the programmed limit value.
  • STEP 4: Deep Cycle Charging: Central Charging Cycle.
  • STEP 5: High Voltage: Keeps the battery at high voltage for 2 hours to attempt to break down the sulphate crystals that have formed in the battery.
  • STEP 6: Analysis 2: Checks whether or not the battery has been recovered.

CHARGING MODE

OPERATION

CHARGING CONNECTIONS

  • Charging batteries connected to the vehicle.
  • Before starting to charge the battery , make sure the power supply lead is NOT plugged into the mains supply.
  • Locate the vehicle’ s earthing point, which is normally connected to the negative battery terminal.
  • Charging a battery with negative earth, grounded to the vehicle’s chassis:
  • Connect the output lead with red clamp to the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
  • Connect the output lead with black clamp to the vehicle’s earthing point, keeping it away from the battery and from the fuel pipes etc.

NOTE: If connecting to an older vehicle, it may be positively earthed, in which case the clamps need to be connected in reverse.

  • Charging batteries that are not connected to a vehicle.
  • Before starting to charge the battery, make sure the power supply lead is NOT plugged into the mains supply.
  • Connect the output lead with red clamp to the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
  • Connect the output lead with black clamp to the negative terminal (-) of the battery.

ATTENTION: Make sure both clamps of the output leads generate a suitable contact with their corresponding terminals.

  • OPERATING THE BATTERY CHARGER

  • Once the output leads are connected to the battery , check that the positive lead is connected correctly to either the 12V or 24V
    connector on the charger as required. Then plug the power supply lead of the battery charger into the mains supply, making sure that the voltage matches the nominal voltage of the battery charger (230V-50Hz); having done this, the charger will emit an acoustic signal for ½ second and all the LED indicators on the control panel will switch on for 2 seconds, the digital display shows —-.

  • The battery charger is configured in Standby mode, for example: ON LED lit, Charge lit, Wet LED lit. The LEDs light up differently based on the last program saved (see section 6.4. Saving Settings).

  • At this stage, with the battery charger in Standby mode, set the charging parameters suitable for the type of battery to be charged, using the buttons on the control panel. The charging parameters selected are displayed by the corresponding LED, which switches on.

  • Settable charging parameters:

  • Function key: Charge, Start, Supply, Recovery.

  • Set Capacity key: Based on the capacity of the battery and on the work cycle, select:

  • Charge 30Ah/80Ah: Charge for batteries with capacity from 30Ah to 80Ah.

  • Charge 80Ah/150Ah: Charge for batteries with capacity from 80Ah to150Ah.

  • Charge 150Ah/300Ah: Charge for batteries with capacity from 150Ah to 300Ah.

  • Charge 4Ah/550Ah: Supports all batteries from a minimum capacity of 4Ah up to a maximum of 550Ah.

Adjust the output current from 0 up to the maximum supported by the operating mode currently selected on the charger using the dial on the right of the panel.

  • Type key: Depending on the construction/type of the battery, select: Wet or Agm/Spiral Cell.
  • Once the charging parameters haver been set, press the START/STOP key to start charging the battery. When the START/STOP and CHARGING LEDs light up, the battery is being charged; the display will show the charging current and the voltage of the battery.
  • The CHARGING LED remains lit in phases “I” and “U0” whilst the battery is charging.
  • When the FULL LED switches on, it means that the battery is fully charged (100%) and the 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.
  • If you wish to end or interrupt the charging cycle, follow the end of charging instructions in section 7.5.

INTENTIONAL INTERRUPTION OF THE CHARGING CYCLE
If you want to interrupt the battery charging cycle, simply press the START/STOP key; the corresponding LED will switch off to show that the work cycle has ended. At this stage, it is recommended to disconnect the output leads from the battery terminals/ earthing point.

INTERRUPTION OF THE CHARGING CYCLE IN THE CASE OF A POWER SUPPLY CUT
In the case of a mains power supply cut, the charger saves the work cycle that it was performing in order to restore it automatically as soon as the power supply 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
Once the battery is charged, unplug the power supply lead of the charger from the mains supply. Disconnect the output lead with the black clamp from the negative terminal (-) of the battery or from the vehicle’s earthing point. Disconnect the output lead with the red clamp from the positive terminal (+) of the battery. Store clamps properly on the charger. STARTING A VEHICLE
Connect the charger to the vehicle as in section 7.1.1. to 7.1.4. above, and connect the charger to the mains supply as in 7.2.1. above. Select Start and also the correct battery type and battery capacity using the selection buttons on the control panel. Press the Start button and the Start LED will flash for a while (analysis), and then will remain on (fast charging). Engine starting can now be attempted. Attempt to start the engine – the scrolling message START appears on the display – if the engine doesn’t start within 5 seconds, stop cranking the engine and wait for 120 seconds before attempting again. A maximum of 5 cycles of starting/resting is OK, before a longer rest period is needed before attempting again. This is important as the charger needs a cooling down period. When the engine starts, switch off the charger and remove the clamps from the battery in the order as in section 7.5. above.
