ANSMANN BCV 12-15 START Instrucciones De Manejo página 4

a. 12 V battery from 6 Ah up to 20 Ah: "12 V/3A", Start function not possible
b. 12 V battery over 20 Ah: "12V/15A", Start function possible
5. After selection of the charging current you can plug the mains lead (7) into the mains socket. The charger will now be
operating. The rate of charge will now be shown on the Charging indicators (1). When a battery is initially connected to the
charger, the charging rate should build up quite quickly. As the battery becomes more charged the rate of charge will
decrease. The battery charge will never drop to zero as a small output will continue even when the battery is fully charged.
The "TRICKLE" light (3) indicates the trickle charging.
6. The first thing you must do is to remove the mains plug (7).
7. Disconnect the leads (red and black) from the battery terminals.
8. Inspect the liquid levels in each cell and top up if necessary. Replace the cap or caps. Any surplus liquid should be wiped off
with extreme care and wear rubber gloves – the liquid may have some acid in it.
9. Replace and fix the battery.
10. Reconnect the terminals to the battery (pay attention to the polarity).
use oF tHe engine starter FunCtion
The charger´s starter facility will, together with the car´s battery, deliver enough current for your vehicle to crank and start the
engine. If the battery is low, it will be necessary to charge the battery for just 5-10 minutes in switch position "12V/15A" before
attempting to start the engine.
1. Make sure that all electricity to the battery charger is off.
2. You must then ensure you place the red crocodile clip (+) to the positive battery terminal (+) and the black crocodile clip (-)
to the negative battery terminal (-). This is very important!
3. With the electricity supply still in the OFF position, select switch (5) to "12V/3A" and on switch (6) to "CHARGER".
4. Check that you have properly connected the battery as outlined in step 2.
5. Plug the charger by using the mains plug (7) into the mains supply. You will now see the power level on the charging
indicators (1).
6. Now switch the switch (5) to "12V/15 A", and let the battery charge for 5 to 10 minutes.
7. Now flick the rocker witch (6) to "STARTER".
8. Turn the engine over the ignition.
9. Once the engine is running, set the switch (5) to "12V / 3A", and switch (6) to "CHARGER".
10. Remove the mains plug (7) from the mains supply.
11. Remove the crocodile clips (red and black) from the battery.
12. If the engine does not start the charger stops for around 10 seconds, the light (4) "NO START" is lighting . After approx. 10
seconds it´s possible to try it again.
13. If the engine does not start after two or three attempts, wait for a further five minutes up to 10 minutes with the charger
(switch (5) to position "12V/15A", switch (6) to position "CHARGER"). Start again with step 7.
warning
>- When charging lead acid cells, explosive gases can develop. Avoid open fire and sparks.
> Due to presence of explosive gas, you must only connect and disconnect the battery leads when the main supply has
been disconnected
> You must avoid getting battery acid (electrolyte) on your skin or clothes. It can burn. If you get electrolyte on your skin or
clothes, you must immediately rinse the affected area with lots of water.
> It´s very important to ensure that you place the correct crocodile clip onto the correct terminal. The red crocodile clip is the
positive (+) and this must be clipped onto the battery terminal marked with a +.
> Avoid to touch the two crocodile clips together and the unit is plugged into the mains, because there will be a momentary spark
between the clips.
