2 General Safety

This manual aids safe handling of the device. Use the device solely in accordance with its intended use. Observe the safety instructions.

WARNING

Risk of injury from damaged, frozen or deformed batteries Damaged, frozen or deformed batteries can cause injuries.

Before using the battery, make sure that the battery is undamaged and the electrolyte is not frozen.

Notice

Device defects from incorrect installation Incorrect installation can result in device defects.

Install the device in a dry and cool location

2.1 Intended use

The CLP 600 booster has been developed for permanent installation in vehicles for charging additional batteries (lead and lithium). The device may be used in both 24 V and 12 V vehicle power circuits and charges batteries with nominal voltages of 12 V and 24 V. The emergency start function allows the starter battery to be charged briefly (max. 5 min.) from the additional battery to enable the vehicle to start.
At the output, the unit supplies a DC voltage of 14.4 V or 28.8 V, depending on the charging characteristic, and thereby supplies consumers with power permanently or for a short time. The input voltage is 12 V or 24 V. The device is designed for an operating temperature of -25°C … +80°C.

2.2 Foreseeable misuse

The device is designed for interior use only. Do not mount the device outside the vehicle.

6 Charging Characteristic

The charging of lead-acid batteries is fully automatic with a five-stage charging characteristic for optimum battery charging.

Phase	Description	12 V	24 V
Stage 1	Constant current

(Level 1)

| 40 A| 20 A
Stage 2| Constant voltage

(Level 1)

| 14.0 V| 28.0 V
Stage 3| Constant current

(Level 2)

| 10 A| 10 A
Stage 4| Constant voltage

(Level 2)

| 14.4 V| 28.8 V
Stage 5| Charge retention| 13.5 V| 27.0 V

– Level 2 has a time limit of 8 h.
– The charging process restarts in phase 1 when the current in the charge retention
exceeds 10 A.

7 Assembly

To mount the device, perform the following steps:

TIP

Do not mount the device directly next to or above batteries.
Choose a cool, dry and well-ventilated mounting site.
1. Fasten the device to the 4 lateral holes (5 mm Ø). ð The device is mounted.

8 Installation

Fitting the Data Adapter

Notice

Device defect due to excessive tightening torque
The connection bolts of the device can be damaged by an excessive tightening torque.

Apply between 5.5 Nm and 6 Nm tightening torque to each nut.
Do not overtighten the nuts.

To connect the batteries (starter battery and additional battery),

perform the following steps:

Disconnect the batteries from the vehicle power circuit. WARNING! Disconnect the negative cable first.
Secure the positive leads as close as possible to the batteries with suitable fuses (50 A).
Connect the outputs (2) and (4) of the device to the positive terminals of the batteries.
Connect the common ground (3) of the device to the negative terminals of the battery.
Connect the vehicle batteries to the vehicle power circuit. ð The batteries are connected.

9 Normal Operation

9.1 Switching on the Device

Charging starts automatically when a wake-up signal (pin 2) is applied.

TIP

It is not possible to operate the device without a wake-up signal (Ignition switch, terminal 15).

9.2 Switching off the Device

The device switches off automatically if no wake-up signal (pin 2) is applied.

9.3 Operating Status
