HAMRON 608201 Battery Charger

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read the operating instructions carefully before use. Save them for future reference.

•  Recycle products that have reached the end of their useful life according to local regulations.
• The battery charger is intended for charging lead-acid, gel and AGM batteries. Do not attempt to use the charger as a DC power source – risk of electric shock and/or fire.
•  Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the rated voltage on the type plate. If you are using an extension cord, the cross-sectional area of the wires must have the correct rating for the power supply to the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance if the power cord or plug are damaged, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any other way.
• Do not open the charger. Repairs must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Incorrect assembly can cause a fire risk and/or electric shock.
• Release the leads on the battery charger from the battery and unplug the power cord before cleaning.
• Unplug the power cord after charging. Disconnect the leads from the battery.
• WARNING: Risk of explosion. Battery charging produces explosive gas. Avoid sources of heat, such as naked flames or sparks. Ensure good ventilation.
• Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
•  A damaged power cord must be replaced by an authorized service center, or other qualified personnel, to ensure safe use.
•  Connect the battery terminal that is not connected to the chassis first. Connect the other clip to the chassis, at a safe distance from the battery and the fuel lines. Plug in the battery charger power cord.
•  The appliance is not intended to be used by persons (children or adults) with any form of functional disorders, or by persons who do not have sufficient experience or knowledge on how to use it, unless they have received instructions concerning the use of the appliance from someone who is responsible for their safety. Keep children under supervision to make sure they do not play with the appliance.
•  Avoid short circuiting. Short circuiting discharges large amounts of energy and can cause a fire and/or serious personal injury.

TECHNICAL DATA

DESCRIPTION

1.  Charging current 12 V standard lead-acid battery: 1A/2A/3A/4A. The charging current is set automatically, depending on the battery capacity and/or charging.
2. Charging current 12 V AGM battery: 1A/2A/3A/4A. The charging current is set automatically, depending on the battery capacity and/or charging.
3.  Winter mode 12 V standard battery and 12 V AGM battery. Suitable at 5°C or lower.
4. Charging current 6 V standard lead-acid battery: 1A/2A/3A/4A. The charging current is set automatically, depending on the battery capacity and/or charging.
5. Battery charging indicator: Each segment represents a 20% charge. A flashing frame indicates that the battery is charging. The batter is fully charged when the frame and all five segments light up and the battery charger then switches to trickle charging.
6. Battery voltage, resolution 0.1 V.
7. Indicates polarity fault.
8.  Indicates defective battery.
9.  Symbol for battery clip.
10. Unit.

USE

Operating conditions and positioning

•  Store and use the battery charger in a dry and well ventilated area, protected from heat and direct sunlight and from corrosive gas. Place the charger on a stable surface when charging, as far away from the battery as permitted by the leads.
• Operating temperature: ·10 to 40°C
•  Storage temperature: -10 to 50°C
•  Never place the charger on the battery, or the battery on the charger.
• Reduce the charging current if the battery temperature exceeds 40°C during charging. Stop the charging if the battery temperature exceeds 45°C and allow the battery to cool to the permitted charging temperature before resuming the charging.

Connection

1. The charger’s power cord is plugged in, but no battery is connected: The backlight flashes green, 0.0 Vis shown, and the battery clip symbol goes on.
2. The battery is connected, but the charger’s power cord is not plugged in: The display is blank.
3. The charger’s power cord is plugged in and a battery is connected: The backlight flashes green and the battery voltage is shown. After 5 seconds the backlight goes red and the charging starts.
4. Disconnection of clips during the charging or after completion of the charging: The backlight flashes, 0.0 Vis shown, and the battery clip symbol goes on.
5. The charger’s power cord is plugged in and the battery is connected with incorrect polarity: The backlight flashes and the polarity fault symbol goes on.
6. The charger’s power cord is plugged in, the battery is connected and there is voltage between the dips, but very little or no charging current. The dips are not connected properly to the battery, for exam pie as a result of oxide on the battery terminals. The display flashes, the battery clip symbol is on, and there is voltage between the clips.
