GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CA 150 and CA 360 chargers are designed for charging 12V and 24V lead acid battery with liquid electrolyte 3 from
5 to 150Ah (CA 150) or from 40 to 350Ah (CA 360).
OPERATING
The CA 150 and CA 360 are traditional chargers.
The CA 150 is an automatic charger which can be left connected unsupervised.
The CA 360 is both automatic and manual. Charging a battery on the manual position requires monitoring and for the
charge to be stopped manually. It is able to charge without any voltage limitation to recover a discharged battery or
to perform fast charge (high current for a short period).
Standard charge
Boost
The CA 150 has two charging modes : standard charge and boost.
Le CA 360 has three charging modes : standard charge, slow boost and fast boost.
CHARGE :
1. Make sure to disconnect the charger from the battery, set the on/off switch on the « off » position.
2. Connect the charger's red clamp to the battery's positive terminal.
3. Connect the charger's black clamp to the battery's negative terminal.
4. Select the voltage output (CA360 only) et the charging speed (CA150 and CA360) on the charger.
5. Set the charger's on/off switch on the "on" position
ADVICE
◊ Connection and disconnection
Disconnect from the battery all electronic system during the charge (do not charge the battery when it is connected
on the car) (CA 360 in manual mode only).
◊ Starting
Do not start the vehicle with the charger connected to the battery. This will blow the fuse.
◊ Problems
A quick charge can cause problems:
- The fuse blows and stops the charge.
- The OK light indicator is on but without the battery being charged, it starts and stops regularly.
In this case restart the charger after selecting the slowest charging mode available.
◊ Thermal protection
The charger is fitted with a thermostat. If it gets too hot, the charger will stop working. Place the unit in a ventilated
room, wait until it cools down to turn the charger on (wait 10-20 minutes)
◊ Fuse
The fuse will protect the unit in the following instances:
- Polarity reversal or clamps in short-circuit.
- Starting the vehicle whilst the battery is connected to the charger.
- Charging current is in boost mode for too long or too high and above the nominal current in standard charge mode.
In case of a fuse break, disconnect the clamps from the battery, switch the unit off, change the fuse, set the charger to
the minimum charge output available and reconnect everything as instructed above.
