8. INSTRUCCIONES DE OPERACIÓN
IMPORTANTE: LEA LAS INSTRUCCIONES ANTES DE CONECTAR EL SELECTOR DE VOLTAJE
DE SALIDA.
8.1 Sistema de detección de voltaje
Su arrancador de batería está equipado con un sistema de detección de voltaje. Después de la
conexión de las abrazaderas en los terminales de la batería del vehículo, los led indicarán su voltaje, de
la siguiente manera:
• El LED verde junto al conector de 12 V se enciende cuando el voltaje detectado por el arrancador de
batería es entre 3 V y 14,4 V.
• El LED naranja junto al conector de 24V se enciende cuando el voltaje detectado por el arrancador de
batería es superior a 14,4 V.
NOTA: Si su vehículo no arranca cuando el arrancador de batería está conectado a 12 V, es posible que
su vehículo arranque a 24 V:
• Cuando el voltaje es inferior a 14,5 V
• Si conectó el arrancador de batería en la batería incorrecta del vehículo
8.2 Detección del borne 24V
Detección del borne 24 voltios en el vehículo cuyo cables no están visibles o en el caso en que las baterías
están de una y otra parte del motor (la construcción, la agricultura, militar o de otro tipo motores grandes).
Utilizar un voltímetro en posición DC:
Colocar el negativo en la masa del vehículo y el positivo en el positivo de la batería.
• Si el voltímetro indique 12V, no está colocado en la batería correcta.
• Si el voltímetro indique 24V, está colocado en la batería correcta.
8.3 Selección del voltaje
1. Determine el voltaje de la batería del vehículo. (Consulte el manual de instrucciones del vehículo).
2. Asegúrese de conectar el selector de voltaje de salida en el conector correcto.
8.4 Para arrancar el motor del vehículo
IMPORTANTE: El uso del arrancador sin una batería instalada en el vehículo puede dañar el sistema
eléctrico del vehículo.
IMPORTANTE: No utilice el arrancador durante la carga de su batería interna.
ADVERTENCIA: UNA CHISPA PROVOCADA CERCA DE LA BATERÍA PUEDE CAUSAR LA EXPLOSIÓN
DE LA BATERÍA. PARA REDUCIR EL RIESGO DE PROVOCAR CHISPAS CERCA DE LA BATERÍA:
1. Apague el vehículo antes de hacer conexiones de cables.
2. Ubique los cables de C.C. para reducir el riesgo de daños a la cubierta, a la puerta y a las piezas móviles
o calientes del motor. NOTA: Si es necesario cerrar el cofre durante el proceso de arranca, asegúrese
que el cofre no toque la batería o pele los cables.
3. Manténgase alejado de las paletas del ventilador, correas, poleas y otras piezas que podrían
provocar lesiones.
4. Verique la polaridad de los bornes de la batería. El borne POSITIVO (POS, P, +) de la batería
generalmente posee un diámetro mayor al borne NEGATIVO (NEG, N, -).
5. Si las baterías están al lado una de otra: Conecte la pinza roja (+) al borne + de una batería, y luego
la pinza azul (-) al borne (-) de la secunda batería del vehículo.
6. Si las baterías están de una y otra parte del vehículo: Determine qué borne de la batería hace
descarga a tierra (se encuentra conectado) con el chasis. Si el borne negativo hace descarga a tierra
con el chasis (como en la mayor parte de los vehículos), ver el paso A. Si el borne positivo hace
descarga a tierra con el chasis, ver el paso B.
g. En un vehículo con descarga a tierra por borne negativo, conecte el gancho POSITIVO (ROJO) de la
energía portátil de batería al borne POSITIVO (POS, P, +) sin descarga a tierra de la batería. Conecte
el gancho NEGATIVO (AZUL) al chasis del vehículo o al bloque motor alejado de la batería. No conecte
el gancho al carburador, líneas de combustible o cuerpos metálicos. Conecte a una pieza metálica de
calibre grueso del marco o del bloque motor.
