The charger is protected against injects of dust and water according to IP65.
If the SUPPLY CORD is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Note! Make sure the charger terminals are not short-circuited and ensure that the
polarity is correct.
If the charger is disconnected from the mains voltage during a charge cycle the
charger will resume the charge cycle when it is reconnected to the mains.
To avoid overheating make sure there is sufficient room for circulation of air aro-
und the product when in use. Do not cover it up.
The mains socket outlet used should always be easily accessible to facilitate im-
mediate removal of the products mains supply should an operational error occur
during use.
The product contains hazardous voltages and there are no user replaceable parts
inside the product. Never attempt to remove the cover. Any repair/service should
be carried out by qualified personnel who may get assistance by contacting the
manufacturer or the manufacturer’s agent.
The charger has automatic polarity protection and will be switched off if the bat-
tery is connected with reverse polarity. The protection will be automatically reset
when the polarity has been corrected.
Lead-Acid chargers are designed for charging Lead-Acid batteries only. For safety
reasons, individual battery types should have a minimum capacity, please check

that the specifications for your battery allows for the maximum charge current
indicated on the charger. If in doubt; contact the battery manufacturer for the
specific battery. Do not attempt to charge batteries that are not rechargeable.
WARNING
As explosive gases may arise during charging lead-acid batteries the charger
and the battery should be placed in a well-ventilated area during charging.
Avoid sparks and open flames.
Maintenance and warranty
The charger is maintenance free. If the unit itself or its cords are damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard. Do not attempt to service or open the charger yourself.
It is possible to clean the unit using a mild detergent and a towel. When cleaning
the unit, it must be disconnected from mains.
As the charger has a plastic housing, please avoid any contact with lotions, oils,
grease and solvents as most types of plastic may be degraded by such chemicals.
Keep this manual!

CONGRATULATIONS!
For optimal charge and maintenance of your battery, whether it is a standard lead
acid, calcium, GEL or AGM battery, this microprocessor-controlled temperature
compensated charger will be at your service for many years to come, provided
the correct use and care of both the charger and the batteries.
Connect
To charge a vehicle battery, connect rst the positive clip (marked “+”) to the positive
battery pole, then connect the other clip (marked “-“) to the car’s chassis away from
the battery and fuel system (fuel hoses, fuel pump etc.). Place the temperature sensor
on top of or close to the battery.

Quick start
Check that the battery and charger specifications match. Take the charger out
from the case and connect the charger to the battery. To charge a vehicle bat-
tery, connect first the positive clip (marked “+”) to the positive battery pole then
connect the other clip (marked “-“) to the car’s chassis away from the battery and
fuel system (fuel hoses, fuel pump etc.). Place the temperature sensor on top of or
close to the battery or inside the negative clip. Connect the charger to the mains.
The charger will show that the power is on and that the mains cable is connected
to the wall socket. The charger will start charging battery automatically. If your
12V battery is not standard or AGM, press the mode button to select correct pro-
gram for your type of battery.
If pulse LED flashes in 1 sec. Intervals, check wether the battery clips are properly
connected. Cancel charge by disconnecting the charger from the wall socket then
remove the chassis connection and then the battery connection.

Old, sulfated Lead-Acid batteries usually have a reduced capacity and may
be difficult to charge. The charge current may fall rapidly as if the battery had
received a full charge, and the charger will indicate 100% charge. Even though
a battery in this condition should be replaced, it will retain a small charge .
