Connection/disconnection

• Disconnect the power supply before connecting/disconnecting the device to/from the battery.
• The terminal of the battery that is not connected to the car frame must be connected first. The other connection must be made on the car frame, far from the battery and the fuel line. The battery charger must be connected to the power supply network.
• After the charging process, disconnect the battery charger from the power supply network and remove the connector from the car frame and then the connector from the battery, in this order.

Connection:

• Class II device.
• This machine is fuse-protected.

Maintenance:

• If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or an equally qualified person.
• A qualified person should perform service.
• Warning! Always remove the power plug from the wall socket before carrying out any work on the device.
• If the internal fuse is blown, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or an equally qualified person.
• Regularly take off the cover and remove dust with an air gun. Take the opportunity to have a qualified person check the electrical connections with an insulated tool.
• Under no circumstances should solvents or other aggressive cleaning agents be used.
• Clean the device’s surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The chargers ENERGY 124 and 126 are designed to charge lead acid batteries with liquid electrolyte, nominal voltage from 12V (6 elements of 2 V), and with capacity according to the following table:

OPERATING MODE WITH TESTER FUNCTION
When it is not connected to the mains supply, this charger is a battery tester. It lets you know the state of the battery. The integrated voltmeter informs you:

• < 12.3V: battery to be charged
• between 12.3 and 12.6V: middle charge
• > 12.6V: charged

CONNECTION IN CHARGER FUNCTION

Preliminary precautions

• For indoor use, with good ventilation.
• Remove the battery caps if there is, and check the level of liquid. If it is not correct, filled up with distilled water. Clean well the battery terminals.
• Check if the battery capacity and voltage are compatible with your charger.

Connection and disconnection

• Disconnect from the battery all electronic system during the charge (Do not charge the battery when it is connected to the vehicle as it may damage the vehicle’s on-board electronics).
• Connect the clamps (+ red, – black) to + and – battery terminals, making sure you get a good electric contact, respecting the following order.
  • Connect first the battery terminal not connected to the chassis of the vehicle.
  • Then connect the other connection to the chassis remote from the battery and any fuel line.
  • At last, plug in your charger to 230 V 50/60 Hz mains supply.

After charging, disconnected the battery charger from supply mains. Then remove the chassis connection and the battery connection, in this order.

Control of the charge process

• You should observe a variation of the voltage indicated by the voltmeter. When this voltage is over 14,8 volts, the battery has reached its full charge state. The charge must then be stopped.
• Do not connect the charger more than 24 hours on a battery.

PROTECTIONS

Your product has been developed with a maximum of protections:

• The clamps of the battery are isolated.
• The polarity reversal will not cause danger. The protection is insured by an automotive fuse, which must be changed in case of polarity error. Respect the rating of the fuse, which is indicated on the charger.
• Your charger is protected against over current that can occur with faulty batteries or false use of the product.
• Thermal protection: the transformer of the product is protected by a thermal switch (cooling: about ¼ h).

SULPHATED BATTERIES – START – POWER SUPPLY

• If your battery is sulfated, the indicator of the voltmeter goes directly up to the maximum. In that case, you can try to recover the battery by letting the charger connected for several hours (24 hours maximum).
• Do not leave your charger plugged on your car when you start it. It can break the fuse.
• Do not use your charger like an auxiliary power supply. It is forbidden to pull up current from the battery when the battery is connected to the charger.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The machine’s voltmeter does

not fluctuate.

| No mains voltage| Check that the power cord is plugged to a 230V 50/60Hz socket. Check the power supply network.
Clamps in short circuit or polarity reversal.| Remove the clamps. Check that the fuses have not melted and that the circuit breaker is not tripped
Blown fuse| Replace the fuse by a new one.
The charger is properly connected but it does not charge the battery| Blown fuse| Replace the fuse by a new one.
Bad clamp connections.| Clean the terminals and the clamps. Check the

state of the cables and clamps.

Following intensive use, your device has entered thermal protection mode.| Wait 1/4h so the device can cool down.
The fuse blows every time it is replaced| Polarity reversal| Connect the + clamp to the battery’s (+) and the + clamp to the battery’s (-).
Starting the vehicle| Do not perform any starts when the charger is connected.
Current overconsumption on the battery| Do not draw any of the battery’s current during the charge

WARRANTY
