5. OPERATION
5.1. CONNECT CHARGER TO MAINS POWER SUPPLY
5.1.1. Plug the charger into the mains power supply. The charger will automatically go into standby mode and the standby LED will illuminate.
5.2. CHARGING MODE SELECTION
5.2.1. Repeatedly pressing the MODE button will cycle the charger through the following options MODE1, MODE2, and MODE3. Stop
pressing when the LED adjacent to the desired mode lights up.
5.2.2. If the Mode button is pressed again during charging the charger will switch to the
next charging mode and will function in that mode. However, once the battery is
fully charged and if the charger remains connected, the charger will switch to oat
charge mode and will remain in this mode even if the user selects another mode.
This protects the battery from being damaged.
5.3. MODE 1 DESCRIPTION (14.4v/1.0A)
5.3.1. This mode is suitable for charging small batteries with a capacity below 14Ah.
5.3.2. Press the MODE button until the LED adjacent to the motorcycle symbol is
illuminated.
5.3.3. Charging will automatically begin with a current of 0.8A ± 10% and the ‘charging’
LED will illuminate. This LED will remain on throughout the entire charging
process until the battery is fully charged up to 14.4V ± 0.25V. At this stage the ‘charging’
LED will extinguish and the ‘fully charged’ LED will illuminate. The trickle charge
current now becomes available for battery maintenance.
MODE 2 DESCRIPTION (14.4V/4.0A)
5.3.4. This mode is mainly for charging large batteries with a capacity over 14Ah in normal
conditions. Press the MODE button until the LED adjacent to the car symbol is
illuminated. Charging will automatically begin with a current of 3.8A ± 10% and the
‘charging’ LED will illuminate. This LED will remain on throughout the entire charging
process until the battery is fully charged up to 14.4V ± 0.25V. At this stage the
‘charging’ LED will extinguish and the ‘fully charged’ LED will illuminate. The trickle
charge current now becomes available for battery maintenance.
5.4. MODE 3 DESCRIPTION (14.7/4.0A)
5.4.1. This mode is mainly for charging large batteries with a capacity over 14Ah in cold
conditions or for charging several AGM batteries with a capacity over 14Ah.
Press the MODE button until the LED adjacent to the ice crystal symbol is illuminated.
Charging will automatically start with a set delay with a current of 3.8A ± 10% and the ‘charging’ LED will illuminate. This LED will
remain on throughout the entire charging process until the battery is fully charged up to 14.7V ± 0.25V. At this stage the ‘charging in
progress’ LED will extinguish and the ‘fully charged’ LED will illuminate. The trickle charge current now becomes available for battery
maintenance.
5.5. MODE 4 (desulphurization)
When the charger is connected to a battery and before the charging process begins the charger automatically detects the voltage of the
battery. If the voltage is below 7.5V the charger will not start the normal charging process due to its internal safety circuit. If the voltage is in
the range of 7.5V ± 0.5 to 10.5V ± 0.5 the charger will initiate pulse charging ‘repair mode’. Once the voltage of the battery rises to 10.5V ±
0.5 the charger reverts to the previously selected normal charging mode and charging takes place at the normal rate. Most drained batteries
can be charged and used again using this procedure.

5.6. FAULT PROTECTION
5.6.1. In the case of short circuit, open circuit, reversed polarity or battery voltage below 7.5V ± 0.5, the charger will turn off the electronic
system and revert to standby mode. Additionally the ‘Fault’ LED (!) will illuminate. The fault must be identied and resolved before any
of the charging modes are initiated.
5.7. OVERHEATING PROTECTION
5.7.1. If the charger becomes too hot during the charging process or due to extreme ambient temperatures the power output is automatically
reduced to a trickle charge to protect the unit. Once the temperature drops the charger will increase the power output automatically.
6. CHARGING PHASES
6.1. The SMC02.V2 charger has a nine step fully automatic charging cycle as shown in Fig.3 above, which is indicative of the typical
charging curve for a battery.
6.2. PHASES 1 through 5 DIAGNOSIS & RECOVERY:
As soon as one of the charging modes is selected the diagnostic function automatically detects the condition of the battery i.e. voltage.
If the voltage of a deeply discharged battery is over 7.5V ± 0.5V the charger begins to pulse charge with a small current to recover it.
Pulse charging ceases when the voltage reaches 10.5V ± 0.5V. If the voltage detected is over 10.5V ± 0.5V the charger skips pulse
charging and switches to the preselected charging mode.
6.3. PHASE 6 BULK: Up to 80% of the charge is delivered in this phase.
6.4. PHASE 7 ABSORPTION: A constant low charging current raises the voltage from 14.1V to 14.4V over a period of time without gassing
the battery. In this phase complete charging up to almost 100% is achieved.
When full charge is reached the charger switches to phase 8 and 9.
6.5. PHASE 8 & 9 MAINTENANCE CHARGE: If the battery is loaded and/or the voltage across the terminals drops below 12.8V, the
charger starts a maintenance charging pulse at a constant 0.8A until the voltage reaches 14.4V at which point the maintenance
charge is turned off. The charger continues to monitor the battery condition and will cycle between trickle charge and maintenance charge
indenitely to keep the battery in peak condition. The charger can be left connected to the battery in order to perform this maintenance
function.
Note: All gures offered as a guide only. The charger is automatic and requires no measurements by the user.
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1. This charger requires no specic maintenance other than cleaning which should be done with a dry cloth. DO NOT use any solvents or
cleaning agents on the casing.
7.2. Ensure that the charger is unplugged from the mains before installing or performing any maintenance.
