CAUTION PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY GUIDELINES CAREFULLY BEFORE USE. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual will explain how to use the unit safely and effectively. Please read and follow these instructions and precautions carefully.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions.
WARNING: Only use the charger to recharge 12V rechargeable lead-acid
batteries. Do not use it for any other purpose. Do not use with non-
rechargeable batteries. This charger is designed for use only with a supply
voltage of 220V-240V, 50/60Hz circuit. The charger is suitable for indoor use
only, in a well-ventilated area and on a flat surface.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- This charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the charger by a person responsible for their safety.
- The charger must be kept in a dry area away from liquids. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
- Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons or damage to property.
- Connect and disconnect charging connectors (clamps, eyelets, cigarette lighter plug…) only after removing AC cord from the mains.
- Never pull on the AC cord to remove the AC plug from the mains. This may damage the cord or the plug.
- Unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
- Do not operate the charger with a damaged mains cable or output lead; have the damaged part replaced immediately by a qualified service person.
- Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service person when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
- Never put the charger on top of the battery while charging it.
- Do not attempt to charge a damaged battery.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY
EXPLOSION. RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY
CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
- Explosive gases can be emitted during the charging duration.
- NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery.
- Never charge a frozen battery.
- Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
- Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
- To prevent sparking, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or contact the same piece of metal.
- Wear protective clothes, gloves and goggles to use the charger. Avoid touching your eyes while working near the battery.
- If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention right away.
- If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
- Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, vehicle and any equipment used near the battery and the charger.
- Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual and make sure that the output voltage of the charger is correct.

Battery types
This electronic battery charger is designed to charge all types of lead
batteries, conventional batteries and batteries of the latest generation. This
battery charger is ideal for both everyday use, as a key working tool, and
extensive charging cycles. All charging parameters are set using the charge
function key on the control panel.
Charge cycles
The charge cycles of the battery charger have been specially developed to
optimize the charge of all types of batteries currently available in the
market. The numerous constructional technologies of currently available
batteries require different charging curves to ensure correct and complete
charging. This battery charger extends the lives of your batteries because it
provides each with the proper charge cycle.
Charging phases
1| A1| Battery state diagnosis:
The charger state of charge of the battery to be charged.
2| Refresh| « Recovery from deep discharge »:
The charger starts using a pulse current until the battery has reached optimal voltage and current levels to start the second charging phase.
3| Soft
« Soft I »
| Reduced constant current charge
4| Bulk
« I »
| Charge at constant current until the maximum battery voltage is reached.
5| Stable
« U0 »
| Charge at stabilized voltage until the current reaches minimum values.
6| Recovery| Only when charger is set on RECON: constant current deep
charge phase and increasing voltage to increase battery charging capacity.
7| A2| The charger analyzes the state of efficiency of the charged
battery.
8| Float
« U »
| The battery charge status is maintained at a reduced constant voltage.
9| Pulse
« Up »
| The battery charge is maintained with pulses of current (provided constantly).
Interruption of the charge cycle
In case of blackouts in the 230V mains, the battery charger saves the work
cycle it was performing in order to restore it automatically as soon as the
power supply of the 230V mains is restored. This function is crucially
important if the battery charger is used to charge batteries without the
operator supervising the cycle; for example, during very long work cycles
(maintenance charges) or when charging overnight (charges for vehicles that
need to be charged daily). The set parameters are stored for 12 hours; after
12 hours the battery charger will resume charging with the default parameters.
Safety devices
The battery charger is equipped with safety devices to ensure the utmost
safety during use and operation.
- Full protection against sparks
- Protection against short-circuits
- Voltage compensation
- Protection against overheating
- Protection against polarity reversal
- High protection rating against external agents, IP65
Battery tests and error indications
The battery charger is designed to determine the battery’s condition before
and while charging, and inform about any connection faults between the battery
charger and the battery to charge. An error code can be viewed on the digital
display, which allows the fault to be quickly and simply checked out.
Instructions manual
Turn OFF ignition (heating, lighting…) before using the charger when battery is installed in the vehicle.
Clean the battery terminals before using the charger.
Charging a battery
-
Before connecting the charger: make sure that the power supply lead is not plugged into the mains!
-
Connection to the battery
Check first if the negative terminal is connected/grounded to the chassis. If not, contact your reseller.
Connect the outlet cable to the charger.-
Output cable with clamps
Connect the red clamp (+) to the positive terminal (+) of the battery, then connect the black clamp (-) to the earth/chassis of the vehicle (a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block. Do not connect to the carburetor or fuel lines). -
Output cable with rings – Optional: SXAE00030
Loosen and remove each nut from the bolts at the battery terminals. Connect the positive ring (+) to the positive terminal (+) of the battery, then connect the negative ring (-) to the negative (-) terminal of the battery. Replace and tighten back the nuts to secure them.
In both cases: make sure that the charger outlet lead make tight connections.
-
-
Connection to the mains
Plug the power supply lead of the battery charger into the mains.
The power LED “ON” is lighting up green = “Stand by” mode. -
Selection of the charging mode
Press the button once to activate the unit, and then choose the charging parameters, for the type of battery and the charging current, on the control panel by pushing the selection push button when the icon appears. The charging process will start automatically (after this, it will be not possible to change the settled parameters). Different possibilities:
-
End of charging
Unplug the AC power supply lead of the charger from the mains. -
Disconnect the output lead
Disconnect first the negative outlet lead from negative (-) terminal of the battery of from the earth/chassis, then the positive outlet lead of the positive (+) terminal.
Charge indicators description
Storage
- The charger is made of insulating material and can be wall-mounted.
