INSTRUCTION MANUAL
WARNING: BEFORE USING THE BATTERY CHARGER READ THE
INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY.
1. GENERAL SAFETY RULES WHEN USING THIS BATTERY
CHARGER
- During the charge the battery produces explosive gases, avoid the
formation of flames and sparkes. DO NOT SMOKE.
- Position the batteries to be charged in a well-ventilated place.
- Inexperience and untrained people should be properly
instructed before using the appliance.
- People (children included) whose physical, sensory or mental
capacities would prevent them from using the appliance
correctly must be supervised by a person who is responsible
for their safety while the appliance is in use.
- Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
- Disconnect the mains cable before connecting to or disconnecting
the charging cables from the battery.
- Do not connect or disconnect the clamps to or from the battery with
the battery charger operating.
- Never use the battery charger inside the car or in the bonnet.
- Substitute the mains cable only with an original one.
- Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries which are not
rechargeable.
- Make sure the available power supply voltage corresponds to that
shown on the battery charger rating plate.
- To avoid damaging the vehicle's electronics, read, keep and
take very careful note of the information supplied by the vehicle
manufacturer, when using the battery charger either for charging
or starting; the same applies to the instructions supplied by the
battery manufacturer.
- This battery charger has components such as switches and relays
which can cause arcs or sparks. Therefore when using it in a
garage or in a similar place set the battery charger in a suitable
case.
- Repair or maintenance of the inside of the battery charger can be
executed only by skilled technicians.
- WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY
CABLE FROM THE MAINS BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY
SIMPLE MAINTENANCE OPERATION ON THE BATTERY
CHARGER.
2. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
- This battery charger can be used to charge free electrolyte lead
acid batteries used on petrol and diesel engine vehicles, motor
cycles, boats etc. and is suitable for charging sealed batteries.
- Accumulators rechargeable in accordance to the output voltage
available: 6V / 3 cells, 12V / 6 cells.
- This model is a battery charger with a 230V 50/60Hz single phase
power supply, with electronically-controlled constant current and
voltage.
The charge current and voltage supplied by the appliance follow
the IU charge curve.
- Standard equipment:
Cables with crocodile clips (fig. A-1) and car cigarette lighter socket
(fig. A-2).
NOTE: To recharge the battery, connect the device with car
cigarette lighter plug directly to the respective socket in the car.

Attention: there is no polarity inversion signal.
4. INSTALLATION
POSITIONING THE BATTERY CHARGER
- While the battery charger is in operation make sure it is in a stable
position.
- Do not lift the battery charger using the power supply cable or the
charge cable.
CONNECTION TO POWER
- The battery charger should be connected only and exclusively to a
power source with the neutral lead connected to earth.
Check that the net voltage is the same as the voltage of the
equipment.
- Check that the power supply is protected by systems as fuses or
automatic switches, sufficient to support the maximum absorption
of welding.
- If you put an extension to the primary cable, the diameter must be
the same, never inferior.
- The connection to the power has to be made using the cable.
5. OPERATION
BEFORE CHARGING
NB: Before charging check that the capacity of the battery (Ah)
which is to be charged, is not inferior to that reported on the
data table. (C min).
Follow the instructions, taking great care to respect the order
given below.
- Remove the caps of the battery charger (if foreseen) so as to let the
gas produced go out.
- Check that the level of the electrolyte covers the plates of the
battery. If these were not covered add distilled water and cover
them up to 5-10 mm.
WARNING: USE THE MAXIMUM CAUTION DURING
THIS OPERATION AS THE ELECTROLYTE IS A HIGHLY
CORROSIVE ACID.
- Make sure the battery charger is disconnected from the power
supply.
- Check the polarities of the battery terminals: positive for the +
symbol and negative for the - symbol.
NOTE: if the symbols are indistinguishable remember that the
positive terminal is the one not connected to the vehicle chassis.
- Connect the red charge clamp to the positive terminal of the battery
( + symbol).
- Connect the black charge clamp to the vehicle chassis, at a safe
distance from the battery and the fuel pipe.
NOTE: if the battery is not installed in the vehicle, connect the
clamp directly to the negative terminal of the battery (- symbol).
CHARGING
- Power the battery charger by inserting the power cable into the
mains socket.
- During this phase the battery charger keeps the charging current
constant.
END OF CHARGING
- The battery charger FULL LED "
charging has ended.
- Disconnect the power supply to the battery charger by removing
the power supply cable from the mains outlet.
- Disconnect the black charge clamp from the chassis of the vehicle
or from the negative terminal of the battery (- symbol).
- Disconnect the red charge clamp from the positive terminal of the
battery (+ symbol).
- Store the battery charger in a dry place.
- Close up the battery cells with the appropriate plugs (if present).
6. BATTERY CHARGER PROTECTIONS
The battery charger is equipped with protection in case of:
- Overloads (too much current delivered towards the battery).
- Short circuit (charging clamps set in contact with one another).
- Polarity reversal of the battery.
