General Description; Connection And Operation - GYS BATIUM 7/12 Manual Del Usuario

This manual contains safety and operating instructions. Read it carefully before using the charger for the first time and keep it in a
safe place for future reference.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Batium is designed for charging lead acid, GEL and AGM battery :
- from 15 Ah to 130 Ah in 6V or 12V for the 7/12 model (3 or 6 2V elements), in 6V, 12V or 24V for the 7/24 model (3, 6 or 12 2V
elements).
- from 35 Ah to 225 Ah in 6V and 12V for the 15/12 model (3 or 6 2V elements), and in 6V, 12V or 24V for the 15/24 model (3, 6
or 12 2V elements).

CONNECTION AND OPERATION

Follow the connection instruction as below:
Precaution: Check electrolyte level if possible and fill if necessary before charging.
1. Plug the charger into the mains (230V). Indicators (A) and (B) which correspond to the last setting used switch on (see
Troubleshooting- Symptom 6)
2. Select your battery voltage (6V, 12V, 24V) according to the indications written on your battery or to the coupling done. (in series
or parallel see P23).
3. Select the capacity of the battery. The Batium will select the charging current automatically.
4. Connect the clamps: Red clamp on the battery "+" and black clamp on the "–".
5. Batium starts charging automatically and will indicate after 30 seconds the de-sulphation process only if the battery is deeply discharged.
The indicators 1 and 2 indicate the charge state of your battery.
Phase 1 :
Voltage rise
Permanent
During a power cut, Batium stores the charge state (except in « SOS Recovery » mode), so the charge can continue (phase 1).
6. When the battery is charged, disconnect the power cable.
7. Disconnect the clamps or the battery connector.
FUNCTION « FORCED CHARGE »
If the battery is deeply discharged (very low voltage <2V), the charge will not start automatically. The charge indicator 1 does not
switch on. The battery voltage indicators, (A) and capacity (B) switch on. In this case, select the voltage and the charging current
then press the battery voltage key (3) for 5 seconds to start a « forced charge ». The indicator 1 will switch on when the key is
released. If no indicators switch on, your battery is unrecoverable (<0.8 V).
« SOS RECOVERY » FUNCTION (AVAILABLE FOR BATIUM 15-12 & 15/24
If the SOS Recovery indicator (6) flashes when a deeply discharged battery is connected and a de-sulphation process has started.
The « SOS Recovery » function delivers a specific charging curve between 24 to 48 hours to recover the battery. To activate this
function follow the steps below:
1. The vehicle battery MUST BE DISCONNECTED. (OVERVOLTAGE DANGER)
2. Connect Batium to the mains
3. Select charging voltage
4. Activate « SOS Recovery » by pressing the key 4 for 5 seconds until the indicator 6 switches on (the indicators (B) are off).
5. Connect the Batium clamps to the battery.
6. The green indicator 2 will light up to notify the end of the charge.
PROTECTION
The Batium is protected against short-circuits, polarity inversions and engine starts. It has an anti-spark feature which prevents
sparks whilst the battery is connected to the Batium. The Batium will not deliver current if there is no battery detected (no voltage
in the clamps)
