GYS GYSTART 724E Manual Del Usuario página 6

• A normal charging current (duration 8 to 10h) is about 1/10 of the battery capacity (Ah). Beyond this
value, the charger provides a high current that should only be used for a short-term charge.
• The product can charge the battery in automatic mode (electrical control) or manual which requires
supervision by the user (the electronics of the vehicle are not protected). In automatic mode, the
electronics of the vehicle are protected supervision of the charge is not required. This is t he optimum
charge ( : <14,8V
Charge of several batteries simultaneously
Several batteries can be charged simultaneously by connecting them in parallel (the + terminals connected
to the red clamp and the – terminals connected to the black clamp). These batteries or grouped batteries
must be of the same voltage (12V or 24V). The charging current must be 10% of the sum of the capacities
of the batteries.
Example : 1 x 55Ah battery + 1 x 100Ah battery need a charging current of : (55+100)/10 = 16.5 A
Charging in series is not recommended.
PROTECTIONS
This machine has been designed with maximum of protection:
- The charge clamps are fully isolated
- Protected against polarity reversals short circuits.
A double fuse (Ref. 054547) ensures the protection.
Fuse replacement can be done manually.
- Protection against transformer overloads or start-attempts in the charge position is ensured by a circuit breaker
on the front panel of the machine. If it trips, manual reactivation is needed.
- Thermal protection : your machine is protected by a thermostat
(cooling takes approx 1/4h). A red indicator illuminates in case of overheating.
SULPHATÉD OR DAMAGED BATTERIES
GYSTART devices cannot detect sulphated or damaged batteries.
a) Your battery is deeply damaged if, during the charging process, the ammeter's needle points quickly to very
high level. In this case, it is not possible to restore it.
b) In case of a sulphated battery : Switch to the highest charge rate and regularly check if the ammeter indicates
any charge current. As soon as the charge current increases, switch to the charge rate suitable for the battery. If
there is no sign of current increase after 5 hours the battery is irrecoverable.
ADVICE AND WARNINGS
• Your charger must be plugged into an EARTHED power supply
• The charger must be installed so that the mains plug is always accessible.
• Use your starter-charger in a ventilated location and avoid sparks or flame.
• DO NOT use this product to charge small batteries or non rechargeable batteries.
• Respect the connection/disconnection order as stated in this manual.
• Regularly check the starter-charger, and particularly the cables, plug and body, to detect any damage. If the
GYSTART is damaged, it must not be used before being repaired.
• If the electricity supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, it's after sales service, or a
person with the same qualifications to avoid danger.
• Do not open the charger. Any modifications not carried out by a GYS technician will result in cancellation of the
warranty.
• This charger is not a toy, and should not be used by children.
• This product is to be recycled by selective collection. Do not dispose of in domestic waste.
