1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
Before to start using your EAGLETRONIC MTL2 battery charger, please take the time to read
these instructions carefully.
The o ner’s manual is an important part of the charger. It’s recommended to keep it in good
condition for the lifetime of the charger. It should be kept in a dry and clean place, al ays
available to the users.
To indicate important instructions, the follo ing blocks are used throughout this manual.
GENERAL
Battery charging products can cause serious injury or death, or damage to other equipment or
property, if the operator does not strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary
actions.
Safe practices must be learned through study and training before using this equipment.
Only qualified personnel should install, use, or service this equipment.
SHOCK PREVENTION
Bare conductors, or terminals in the output circuit, or ungrounded, electrically-live
equipments can fatally shock a person. To protect against shock, have competent electrician
verify that the equipment is adequately grounded and learn hat terminals and parts are
electrically HOT.
The body’s electrical resistance is decreased hen et, permitting dangerous current to flo
through the body. Do not ork in damp area ithout being extremely careful. Stand on dry
rubber mat or dry ood and use insulating gloves hen dampness or s eat cannot be
avoided. Keep clothing dry.
INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING - A po er disconnect s itch must be located at the
equipment. Check the data label for voltage and phase requirements. If only 3-phase po er is
available, connect single-phase equipment to ONLY TWO WIRES of the 3-phase line.
DO NOT CONNECT the equipment grounding conductor to the third live ire of the 3-phase
line as this makes the equipment frame electrically HOT, hich can cause a fatal shock.
If a grounding conductor is part of the po er supply cable, be sure to connect it to a properly
grounded s itch box or building ground. If not part of the supply cable, use a separate
grounding conductor. Don’t remove a ground prong from any plug. Use correct mating
receptacles. Check ground for electrical continuity before using equipment. The grounding
conductor must be of a size equal to or larger than the size of the line conductors.
CHARGING LEADS – Inspect leads often for damage to the insulation. Replace or repair
cracked or orn leads immediately. Use leads having sufficient capacity to carry the operating
current ithout overheating.
BATTERY TERMINALS – Do not touch battery terminals hile equipment is operating.

CAUTION!
This operation can be dangerous for the user.
ATTENTION!
This operation is important for the functionality and reliability of the charger.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE – Shut OFF all po er at the disconnect s itch or line breaker
BEFORE inspecting, adjusting, or servicing the equipment. Lock s itch OPEN (or remove line
fuses) so that the po er cannot be turned ON accidentally.
Disconnect po er to equipment if it is to be left unattended or out of service. Disconnect
battery from charger. Keep inside parts clean and dry. Dirt and/or moisture can cause
insulation failure. This failure can result in high voltage at the charger output.
BURN AND BODILY INJURY PREVENTION
The battery produces very high currents hen short circuited, and ill burn the skin severely
if in contact ith any metal conductor that is carrying this current.
Do not permit rings on fingers to come in contact ith battery terminals or the cell connectors
on top of the battery. Battery acid is very corrosive. Al ais ear correct eye and body
protection hen near batteries.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION
When batteries are being recharged, they generate hydrogen gas that is explosive in certain
concentrations in air (the flammability or explosive limits are 4.1% to 72% hydrogen in air). The
spark-retarding vents help slo the rate of release of hydrogen, but the escaping hydrogen
may form an explosive atmosphere around the battery if ventilation is poor.
The ventilation system should be designed to provide an adequate amount of fresh air for the
number of batteries being charged. This is essential to prevent an explosion.
Al ays keep sparks, flames, burning cigarettes, and other sources of ignition a ay from the
battery recharging area. Do not break "live" circuits at the terminals of batteries. Do not lay
tools or anything that is metallic on top of any battery.
ARCING AND BURNING OF CONNECTOR
To prevent arcing and burning of the connector contacts, be sure the charger is OFF before
connecting or disconnecting the battery. The ammeter should NOT indicate current flo .
MEDICAL AND FIRST AID TREATMENT
First aid facilities and a qualified first aid person should be available for each shift for
immediate treatment of electrical shock victims.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID: Call phisician and ambulance immediately and use First Aid
techniques recommended by the American Red Cross.
DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN BE FATAL.
If person is unconscious and electric shock is suspected, do not touch person if he or she is
in contact ith charging equipment, battery, charging leads, or other live electrical parts.
Disconnect po er at all s itch and then use First Aid.
Dry ood, ooden broom, and other insulating material can be used to move cables, if
necessary, a ay from person.
IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, give oxygen.
IF NOT BREATHING, BEGIN ARTIFICIAL BREATHING, such as mouth-to-mouth.
IF PULSE IS ABSENT, BEGIN ARTIFICIAL CIRCULATION, such as external heart massage.
In case of acid in the eyes, flush very ell ith clean ater and obtain professional medical
attention immediately.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE CHARGER
EAGLETRONIC MTL2 battery chargers have been designed to charge Lead-Acid batteries.
These units convert the AC input to a DC output at the correct voltage. The charge curve is of
the type Wa.
The operation of the EAGLETRONIC MTL2 chargers is managed by the ne MTL2 Digital
Charge Controller, hich is a microprocessor based electronic board of the last generation.
Important features of the MTL2 Digital charge controller are:
–Easy Programmation by DIP s itches.
–Programmable Gassing Voltage.
–Proportional Algorithm for charge time calculation.
–Programmable Equalize System (Automatic Pulsed & Manual).
–Automatic voltage-controlled maintenance.
–Wrong battery detection.
–Battery desulphation cycle.
–Independent safety timer.
–Automatic data-saving in case of black out of the mains.
–Cyclical indication of V/cell, AMPS, Ah returned, time.
–Cool do n time counter.
–Scrolling messages in plain text.
The MTL2 Charge Controller monitors the entire charging curve, and it incorporates several
safety features.
The front panel of the MTL2 Digital charge controller contains the digital display (4-Digits), the
STOP button and the MANUAL-EQUALIZE button.
