2General Safety
This manual supports safe handling of the device. Use the device solely in
accordance with its intended use:
The CLP 600 charge booster has been developed for permanent installation
in vehicles for charging additional batteries (lead and lithium). The device
may be used in both 24-V and 12-V on-board power supplies and charges
batteries with nominal voltages of 12 V and 24 V. The emergency start
function allows the starter battery to be charged briefly (max. 5 min.) from
the additional battery to enable the vehicle to start.
Any modifications to the device or its components are prohibited and do not
conform to its intended use.
Observe the following safety instructions:
Danger from damaged, frozen or deformed batteries: Before charging,
make sure that the battery is undamaged and the electrolyte is not
frozen.
Device defect due to incorrect installation: Install the device in a dry
and cool location.
