- Never use the battery charger inside the car or in the
bonnet.
- Substitute the mains cable only with an original one.
- Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries
which are not rechargeable.
- Make sure the available power supply voltage
corresponds to that shown on the battery charger rating
plate.
- To avoid damaging the vehicle's electronics, read, keep
and take very careful note of the information supplied
by the vehicle manufacturer, when using the battery
charger either for charging or starting; the same applies
to the instructions supplied by the battery
manufacturer.
- This battery charger has components such as switches
and relays which can cause arcs or sparks. Therefore
when using it in a garage or in a similar place set the
battery charger in a suitable case.
- Repair or maintenance of the inside of the battery

DESCRIPTION
- This battery charger can be used to charge free
electrolyte lead acid batteries used on petrol and diesel
engine vehicles, motor cycles, boats etc. and is suitable
for charging sealed batteries.
- Accumulators rechargeable in accordance to the
output voltage available: 6V / 3 cells, 12V / 6 cells.
- This model is a battery charger with a 230V 50/60Hz
single phase power supply, with electronically-
controlled constant current and voltage.
The charge current and voltage supplied by the
appliance follow the IU charge curve.
- Standard accessories:
With this appliance it is possible to connect different
types of output cables for battery charging:
- cables fitted with clamps (fig. B-3);
- cables fitted with eyelets (fig. B-1);
- caves fitted with cigar-lighter type jack plugs (fig. B-2).
NOTE: charge cables with a cigar-lighter jack plug can
be used to recharge the battery by connecting directly
to the socket in the car.
3. DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTERY CHARGER
Control, adjustment and indicator devices.
- Selecting the charge current:
Using the button shown in fig. A-1 it is possible to set the
charge current to either 0.8A (
( ): the LED's in fig. A-2 light up to correspond with
the selected charge current.
- Indicators:
- Red " " LED (fig. A-3): reverse polarity, Danger!!!
Invert the charge clamps connected to the battery!
- Yellow " " LED (fig. A-3): charging in progress.
- Green " " LED (fig. A-3): end of charging.

4. INSTALLATION
POSITIONING THE BATTERY CHARGER
- While the battery charger is in operation make sure it is
in a stable position.
- Do not lift the battery charger using the power supply
cable or the charge cable.
CONNECTION TO POWER
- The battery charger should be connected only and
exclusively to a power source with the neutral lead
connected to earth.
Check that the net voltage is the same as the voltage of
the equipment.
- Check that the power supply is protected by systems as
fuses or automatic switches, sufficient to support the
maximum absorption of welding.
- If you put an extension to the primary cable, the
diameter must be the same, never inferior.
- The connection to the power has to be made using the
cable.
5. OPERATION
BEFORE CHARGING
NB: Before charging check that the capacity of the
battery (Ah) which is to be charged, is not inferior to
that reported on the data table. (C min).
Follow the instructions, taking great care to respect
the order given below.
- Remove the caps of the battery charger (if foreseen) so
as to let the gas produced go out.
- Check that the level of the electrolyte covers the plates
of the battery. If these were not covered add distilled
water and cover them up to 5-10 mm.
____________________________________________
WARNING: USE THE MAXIMUM CAUTION
DURING THIS OPERATION AS THE ELECTROLYTE IS
A HIGHLY CORROSIVE ACID.
____________________________________________
- Make sure the battery charger is disconnected from the
power supply.
- Check the polarities of the battery terminals: positive for
the + symbol and negative for the - symbol.
NOTE: if the symbols are indistinguishable remember
that the positive terminal is the one not connected to the
vehicle chassis.
- Connect the red charge clamp to the positive terminal of
the battery ( + symbol).
