AUTOMATIC CHARGER FOR 12V LEAD/ACID BATTERIES.
Recommended for batteries of from 2 to 35Ah capacity. Do not use for NiCd, NiMH, Li-Ion or
non-rechargeable batteries. Input: 220-240V~ 0,075A. Output: 0,6A 9W (max).
IMPORTANT: READ THE FOLLOWING FULL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE BEFORE USING THE CHARGER.
SAFETY WARNING AND NOTES:
Batteries emit EXPLOSIVE GASES - prevent fl ame or sparks near batteries.
Disconnect AC power supply before making or breaking DC/battery connections. Battery acid is highly corrosive. Wear
protective clothing and eyewear and avoid contact. In case of accidental contact, wash immediately with soap and
water. Check that the battery posts are not loose; if so, have the battery professionally assessed. If the battery posts
are corroded, clean with a copper wire brush; if greasy or dirty clean with a rag damped in detergent. Use the charger
only if the input and output leads and connectors are in good, undamaged condition. If the input cable is damaged,
it is essential to have it replaced without delay by the manufacturer, his authorised service agent or a qualifi ed
workshop, to avoid danger. Protect your charger from acid and acid fumes and from damp and humid conditions both
during use and in storage. Damage resulting from corrosion, oxidation or internal electrical short-circuiting is not
covered by warranty. Distance the charger from the battery during charging to avoid contamination by or exposure
to acid or acidic vapours. If using it in the horizontal orientation, place the charger on a hard, fl at surface, but NOT on
plastic, textile or leather. Otherwise use the fi xing holes provided in the enclosure base to attach the charger to any
convenient, sound vertical surface.
EXPOSURE TO LIQUIDS: When placed on a horizontal fl at surface this charger is designed to withstand exposure
to liquids accidentally spilled or splashed onto the casing from above, or to light rainfall. Do not allow liquid to
accumulate below or around the base of the charger. Prolonged exposure to falling rain is inadvisable and longer
service life will be obtained by minimizing such exposure. Failure of the charger due to oxidation resulting from the
eventual penetration of liquid into the electronic components is not covered by warranty. Never expose connectors or
plugs to rain or snow.
BATTERY CONNECTIONS: 2 sets of interchangeable connection sets are supplied to connect the battery to the
charger. One has crocodile clamps for charging the battery off-vehicle, the other has metal eyelets intended for
permanent connection to the battery posts, and a resealable rubber protective cap on the 2-pole connector at its
other extremity. When fi xed permanently to the vehicle’s battery, this connection set allows easy and sure connection
of the charger to maintain the battery on-vehicle. The resealable rubber cap should be closed whenever the charger
is disconnected and/or the vehicle is in use so as to protect the 2-pole connector from dirt and damp. Consult a
professional service agent for assistance in attaching the metal eyelets to the battery posts. Distance the polarised
two-pole connector (for connection to the charger) as far as possible from the battery and secure it so that it
cannot foul any moving part of the vehicle or be pinched or damaged by sharp edges. The in-line fuse in the eyelets
connection set protects the battery against such accidental shorting across positive and negative conductors. Replace
any burnt fuse only with a similar new fuse of identical type and 7,5A rating.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. When charging a car battery, or if using the battery clamps, fi rst disconnect and remove the battery from the
vehicle and place it in a well ventilated area.
2. If the battery is deeply discharged (and possibly sulphated), it is essential to disconnect the battery from the
vehicle before connecting the charger for a recovery attempt. The charger’s special recovery mode cannot
engage if it senses that the battery is still connected to a vehicle wiring circuit which effectively offers a lower
electrical resistance than the battery on its own. However, if the deep-discharged battery is not removed for
recovery, neither battery nor vehicle electronics will be damaged.
3. If nonetheless you intend to connect the charger to an automotive battery using the battery clips connection
set without fi rst disconnecting and removing the battery, connect fi rst to the battery terminal not connected to
the chassis, then the other battery clip to the chassis well away from the battery and fuel line. Do this before
connecting to the AC input. Always disconnect in reverse sequence.
