Sens MicroGenius User manual

GREEN FLASH - Battery is charging in either Boost (steady flash LED) or Refresh mode
(2x short flash LED)
GREEN - Maintaining battery in Eco-float mode.
RED/YELLOW - Battery is connected backwards. Correct connections and retry.
YELLOW - Charger in initial power-on sequence.
RED - No charger output. Verify battery and source voltage are connected.
GREEN/YELLOW - Overvoltage Protection, charger will return to normal operation once
externally caused over voltage condition is removed.
OFF - AC source not connected. Verify source is connected and has proper
voltage and frequency.
Getting Started
The charger automatically starts in Boost mode at power-on or after a battery discharge. It remains in Boost mode until the
battery is fully charged. The charger then shifts to Eco-float mode to lengthen battery life. Refresh mode runs periodically to
insure that the battery remains fully charged. This cycle continues until the next discharge event.

1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –This guide contains important
safety and operating instructions for MicroGenius®LE battery
chargers.
Conserver ces instructions. Ce manuel contient des instructions
importantes concernant la sécurité et le fonctionnement.
2. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery
charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
3. This charger is intended for commercial and industrial use. ONLY
TRAINED AND QUALIFIED PERSONNEL MAY INSTALL AND
SERVICE THIS UNIT.
4. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug
rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
5. Do not operate charger with damaged cord/plug – replace charger
immediately.
6. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; shut off power at
the branch circuit protectors and have the unit serviced or replaced
by qualified personnel.
7. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will
not reduce this risk.
8. External connections to charger shall comply with the United States
Coast Guard electrical regulations (33CFR183 SUB PART I).
9. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
9.1 WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. STORAGE BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE
GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU READ
THIS DOCUMENT AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH
TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
IL EST DANGEREUX DE TRAVAILLER A PROXIMITÉ D’UNE
BATTERIE AU PLOMB. LES BATTERIES PRODUISENT DES
GAZ EXPLOSIFS EN SERVICE NORMAL. IL EST AUSSI
IMPORTANT DE TOUJOURS RELIRE LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT
D’UTILISER LE CHARGEUR ET DE LES SUIVRE À LA LETTRE.
9.2 To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of
any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of a battery. Review
cautionary markings on these products and on engine.
Pour réduire le risque d’explosion, lire ces instructions et celles qui
figurent sur la batterie.
10. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
10.1 Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to
come to your aid when you work near a storage battery.
10.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery
electrolyte contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
10.3 Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid
touching eyes while working near a storage battery.
10.4 If battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately
with soap and water. If electrolyte enters eye, immediately flood
the eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.
10.5 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or
engine.
Ne jamais fumer près de la batterie ou du moteur et éviter toute
étincelle ou flamme nue à proximité de ces derniers.
10.6 Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto
battery. It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical
part that may cause explosion. Using insulated tools reduces this
risk, but will not eliminate it.
10.7 Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces,
and watches when working with a storage battery. A storage
battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a
ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
10.8 Use charger for charging 6 and 12 cell LEAD-ACID batteries
only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical
system other than in a starter-motor application. Do not use
battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly
used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause
injuries to persons and damage to property.
Utiliser le chargeur pour charger une batterie au plomb
uniquement. Ce chargeur n’est pas conçu pour alimenter
un réseau électrique très basse tension ni pour charger des piles
sèches. Le fait d’utiliser le chargeur pour charger des piles sèches
pourrait entraîner l’éclatement des piles et causer des blessures ou
des dommages.
10.9 NEVER charge a frozen battery.
11. PREPARING BATTERY FOR CHARGE
11.1 Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is
being charged.
11.2 Ensure battery terminals are clean and properly tightened. Be
careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
11.3 Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level
specified by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery
without removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead acid
batteries, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
11.4 Study all battery manufacturer specific precautions such as
removing or not removing cell caps while charging and
recommended rate of charge.
12. CHARGER LOCATION
12.1 Locate the charger as far away from the battery as DC cables
permit.
12.2 Never place charger directly above or below battery being
charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
12.3 Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading
electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
12.4 Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation
in any way.
12.5 Do not set anything on top of the charger.
13. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION
INSTRUCTIONS – Charger should be grounded to reduce risk
of electric shock. Charger is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
14. DANGER – Never alter AC cord or plug provided – if it will not fit
outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.
