3/ CHARGING THE BOOSTER : B124.1
• The BOOSTER must be left to charge at all times when not used, with the voltage selector in the
setting.
12V
• Always use the charger supplied with the FACOM BOOSTER.
• Connect the charger's cigar lighter connector to the BOOSTER, then connect the charger to mains.
• For chargers of B124.1 model, when LED «Charging - 50% - 75% - Full» fl ashes, it means that the charge is complete.
4/CHECKING THE CHARGING LEVEL OF THE BOOSTER:
Check that the BOOSTER is disconnected from its charger. For 12 Volts Booster, check that the BOOSTER is disconnected
from its cigar lighter connector.
For 12 Volt Boosters (B12-1A and B12-2A):
Press the yellow « Test » button on the BOOSTER
• If one or two green LED are lit, the booster is appropriately charged or still connected to the charger. In this case,
disconnect the charger to check the booster's charging level.
• If a single yellow LED is lit, the booster can be used once, although it will not deliver its entire power.
• If only one or two red LEDs are lit, recharge the booster immediately and do not use it.
For 24 Volt Boosters (B24.1, B24.2 and B124.1 in the 24V setting)
Press the yellow « Test » button on the BOOSTER
• If the voltage is in the RED sector (<24V), recharge the booster immediately and do not use it.
• If the voltage is in the YELLOW sector (>24V and <24.8V), the booster may be used, although it will not deliver its
full power. Recharge it as soon as possible.
• If the voltage is in the GREEN sector (>24.8 and <26.2), the booster is charged. It is recommended to leave it
charging permanently.
For 12V – 24V mixed BOOSTERS:
• Check that the cables are wound properly to avoid short circuits.
• Connect the voltage selection plug to 24V.
• Press the yellow "TEST" button and wait for 4 seconds for the voltage to stabilize.
• If the voltage is below or equal to 24.4 V, do not use the BOOSTER and charge it immediately.
• If the voltage is between 24.5 V and 25.1V, the BOOSTER can be used but must be charged rapidly.
• If the voltage exceeds 25.1 V the booster is charged. However, it must be left to charge when not used.
5/ USING THE BOOSTER:
For 12 Volt Boosters (B12.1A and B12.2A):
Check the booster's charging level. The yellow LED at least must be lit when the test button is pressed. The green led must be
lit for the Booster to deliver its full power.
For 24 Volt Boosters (B24.1 and B24.2):
Check the booster's charging level. The voltage must exceed 24V when the test button is pressed. To deliver better performance,
the voltmeter must be in the green sector.
For 12V – 24V mixed BOOSTERS (B124.1)
• The 12V-24V mixed BOOSTERS are fitted with a 12V-24V selection plug and a 0V safety slot.
• The protection flap moves to make the 12V or 24V plug available.
