Safety
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the IR61224 Battery Charger.
Read this manual carefully before using.
Consider ALL safety, warning and caution instructions carefully.
Warning
1. The battery charger is intended for use by adults and should not be operated by children
2. It is designed for use in dry and protected environments. DO NOT expose to the elements i.e. rain,
dust, etc.
3. This charger is for 6, 12 and 24 Volt use only. DO NOT exceed ratings nominated in the specications
for the charger described in this manual.
4. The IR61224 charger range requires an earthed 240Volt mains power supply
5. Disconnect from the 240Volt mains power supply before making connections and/or disconnecting
clamps from the battery.
6. When disconnecting power, pull by the plug - DO NOT pull on the power lead.
7. Do not attempt to use charger if it is damaged or faulty
8. DO NOT charge non-rechargeable batteries
9. Always check the manufacturers recommended charge rates and voltage specications for the battery
prior to charging
10. DO NOT attempt to charge or jump start a frozen lead-acid battery
11. Only use attachments supplied with the charger - failure to do so may result in personal injury or
equipment damage or void warranty
12. Dispose of faulty batteries in an environmentally responsible manner
Avoid contact with battery acid - it is highly corrosive, causing burn injuries and equipment
damage.
Wear safety glasses to prevent eye injuries.
If acid contacts eyes - ush immediately with cold water for 10 minutes, and seek medical
attention
Wear protective clothing to prevent acid contacting the skin.
If battery acid contacts skin - wash immediately with soap and fresh water.
Remove all jewellery and personal metal items when working with a lead-acid batteries.
• A lead-acid battery can generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. To reduce
risk of explosion, follow these instructions, those of the battery manufacturer and of any
equipment being used in vicinity of battery
• Use the jump start in a well ventilated area. DO NOT operate in the vicinity of ammables
such as petrol etc. Do not allow sparks or ame near the battery
• Short circuiting the contacts can generate a spark, creating a potentially explosive situation -
take care with tools and components
• Never smoke while working with a lead-acid battery.

Operation
Front Panel Indicators
BATTERYTYPE
Press to select. Selection cycles through FLOODED / GEL / CALCIUM
Red LED indicates type selected
BATTERY VOLTAGE
Press to select. Selection cycles through 6V / 12V / 24V
Red LED indicates voltage selected
CHARGE RATE
Press to select. Selection cycles through 2A / 10A / 20A. NOTE: If 24V is selected - the selections are
2A / 5A / 10A
Red LED indicates charge rate selected
• 2A - Slow charge - recommended for optimal battery condition. e.g. A 100Ah charges in approx 20
hours
• 10A - Intermediate charge - e.g. A 100Ah charges in approx 10 hours
• 20A - Boost charge - e.g. A 100Ah charges in approx 5 hours
These times are a guide only - charge rates will vary depending on a number of conditions.
You can switch between charge rates during the charge process. The charge rate
automatically adjusts to the present charge level
DISPLAY MODE
Press to select. Selection cycles through BATTERY % / VOLTAGE / CURRENT / ALTERNATOR %
Red LED indicates mode selected
• BATTERY % - % of charge in the battery
• VOLTAGE - Voltage of the battery being charged
• CURRENT - Current (amperage) going into the battery being charged

7. There is a 30 second delay between connecting the clamps and switching to charge and CHARGING
LED illuminating
8. Once charging has started, press the DISPLAY MODE button to cycle between the BATTERY % /
VOLTAGE / CURRENT status of the battery being charged
9. Green CHARGED LED lights when the battery is fully charged and displays FULL on the display
10. When fully charged, you can either
• Leave the charger connected and it operates in a maintenance mode, or
• Disconnect as follows
11. Turn the charger OFF at mains power
12. Disconnect the red / positive +clamp from the battery positive terminal
13. Disconnect he black / negative -clamp from the battery negative terminal
Alternator Function
Alternator function can only be selected when the clamps are NOT connected to a battery.
