INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING THE CHARGER WITH BATTERY
Battery charger AP-180 is suitable for charging only lead (Pb) batteries from all
together capacity of min. 6Ah (at 12V charger). Maximum capacity of charged battery is
not limited. Battery charger is for (we recommend that the charging time is not too long)
battery systems up to 200Ah total capacity. Check if charger and battery have the
same voltage!

Minimum battery capacity: 6Ah 3Ah 2Ah 1Ah 1Ah
Plug the charger (230Vac cable) into the mains.
Switch on the main supply switcher (POWE ) on back of the charger.
All three LEDs flash briefly, the charger is ready to charge.
BLACK on – poll of the battery
RED on + poll of the battery
At correct connection YELLOW LED indicator lights on. The battery is charging.
When the battery is full, G EEN LED indicator lights on.
If the charger does not activate by flashing a yellow LED:
Battery voltage is too low (fully discharged battery) - Press START button for
forced charging.
The front panel fuse is burn. The fuse on the front panel should be only 15A (for
the 12V charger, for the rest of chargers, see the table below).

CHARGING PROGRAMS
To set the correct charging program it is necessary to remove the cover. First
disconnect the charger from the network and disconnect the battery from the
charger. There are 4 screws on both sides, unscrew them. Charger has 4 charging
programes for 4 types of lead batteries: standard (STA) or universal, programe for
wet hermetic start battery CaCaWET, AGM and GEL. Set the battery type with
umpers JP1 and JP2.

DESCRIPTION OF CHARGE PHASE
Charge phase: Description:
Bulk BULK CHARGE Charges the battery up to 65%, delivering a lot of energy to the
battery in a short time.
Abso 1 ABSORPTION I The charge is slowed down so that the battery absorbs more
energy. The battery reaches 65..75% of the capacity.
Abso 2 ABSORPTION II Charge current is gradually reduced.
The battery reaches 75..85% of the capacity.
Equal EQUALIZATION At this phase, levels between different filled cells are equalized.
The battery reaches 90..95% of the capacity.
Float FLOAT CHARGE Keeps the battery at 100% of the capacity without causing
damage to the battery. Also, can not over-charge the battery.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PULSE BATTERY CHARGING TECHNOLOGY
Pulse charging system is electrode specific charging system; it is new
technology of battery charging. It presents a small revolution on this area,
because the results in practice are drastically better. With this technology is
possible very fast and very precise charging, because only electrochemical
condition of battery "dictates" the charging phase and charging current, which is
momentarily correctly for the battery.
When charging with pulse charger AP-180, does not come to the
gasification of the electrolyte and warming up, that destroys (breaks) cell
lead-acid batteries. So as a result, pulse charging majorly prolong battery
life and shortens the charging time.
We can say that pulse charging technology works as transformer between
battery chemistry and signals that commands the charge. Each battery is treated
individually. Your experience with this charging method please send to
[e-mail] .

HOW AND WHEN TO USE THE BURST CHARGING
When charging an over-discharged battery which has a voltage below 6V (at
12V charger), the system does not start charging, even though the charger is
properly connected. In this case, press START HELP button to activate forced
charging with the single-pulse. If necessary, press the button several times (up to
100x). When the 6V voltage is reached at 12V charger (For the other chargers, see table
below), the yellow LED flashes, then the system automatically starts charging.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Error Cause Solution
The charger is connected to the mains,
power switch is ON.
LED signals not blinks.
- there is no mains voltage 230Vac - ensure supply voltage
230Vac
Battery is connected but the charger is
not charging, all LED blinking.
- to low voltage on the battery (over-
discharged battery)
- the fuse on the front panel is burn
- use START button
- replace the fuse
Red LED is on. - devices has overheated
- to high ambient temperatures
- fan error
- reduce the ambient
temperature
- service intervention
- clean up fan
WARNING!
•The charger is designed for indoor use (do not expose the charger to
rain).
•Polarity + and - must not be confused!
•During charging ensure adequate ventilation!
•Never hold with hand red and black crocodile + and – and push
BURST button!
•We recommend disconnecting the battery from the car if the
CaCaWET charging program is used.
•The charger AP-180 has a built-in security feature that stops the automatic
charging start if charger detects an over-discharged battery. Over-
discharged battery could be in damage. In this case press START
button to activate forced charging with the single-pulse. If necessary, press
the button several times (up to 100x). When the 6V voltage is reached at
12V charger, the yellow LED flashes, then the system automatically starts
charging. From this moment on, the user is obliged to control the
charging of batteries. Because in case of a defect on the battery, it
can overheat, begin to gasify and in extreme cases may happen an
explosion and / or a fire.
