GYS NEOSTART 320 Manual De Instrucciones página 12

Translation of the original instructions
Some vehicles have the positive terminal connected to the chassis , in that case :
• Connect the black clamp to the battery's negative - terminal.
• Connect the red clamp to the vehicle's chassis, make sure it is a safe distance from the battery and the fuel/exhaust
pipe (any combustible piping).
• Connect the device to the mains.
• After use, set the switch to OFF, disconnect the charger from the mains then remove the red clamp, followed by the
black clamp.
Charging a battery when disconnected from the vehicle :
• Connect the red clamp to the battery's positive terminal and the black clamp to the battery's negative terminal.
• After use, set the switch to OFF, disconnect the charger from the mains then remove the red clamp, followed by the
black clamp.
USE IN CHARGING MODE
Preliminary precautions
• Choose a sheltered and well ventilated area, or a dedicated battery charging area.
• Remove the battery caps (if applicable) and make sure that the liquid level (electrolyte) is sufficient. If not, add
demineralised water and carefully clean the battery lugs and terminals.
• Check that the battery capacity (Ampere hour Ah) and the voltage (Volt V) are compatible with your charger.
• We recommend disconnecting the whole electronic system battery while charging (do not charge the battery when
connected to the vehicle). Risk of vehicle electronics damage.
Charge monitoring and state of charge
WARNING : These are traditionnal chargers. The battery charge will require monitoring and the charge will stop when
the operator will set the switch to «OFF» or disconnect the charger from the mains
Once the battery is charged, the liquid (electrolye) contained in the battery will boil. When this starts, it is recommended
to stop the charge to prevent any damage to the battery.
Moreover, if the battery is connected to the vehicle (in-situ), a prolonged unmonitored charge may damage the vehicle's
on-board electronics. A sulfated battery that cannot be charged can potentially lead to damage of the on-board
electronics, as soon as the connection starts.
The end of the charge is when the anmeter's pin is indicated a value between 0 and 10 A, or by a charge time of 10 h.
Sealed battery
For a sealed battery, it is necessary to be extra careful. The charge must be performed while constantly monitoring
the voltage at the battery terminals. It is recommended to stop the charge when the voltage reaches 14.4 V for a 12 V
battery and 28.8 V for a 24 V battery. This voltage can be measured with a volmeter.
Charge
Once the charger is connected to the vehicle battery while following the instructions (see connections and disconnections),
For the NEOSTART 320 :
- Set the switch to CHARGE or BOOST 1 with regards to the battery capacity..
Warning : In Boost 1 mode, the thermal protection may activate if the battery is deeply discharged.
For the NEOSTART 420 and 620 :
- Set the switch to CHARGE 1 or CHARGE 2 with regards to the battery capacity.
After usage, follow the recommended disconnection procedure.
