YATO YT-8300 Manual De Instrucciones página 9

Do not ever touch the terminals of the rectifier, when it is connected to the power supply network.
Do not ever start the engine while charging the accumulator.
Before each use check the conditions of the rectifier, including the conditions of the power cord and the charging conductors.
Should any damage be detected, stop using the rectifier. Damaged cables and conductors must be replaced with new ones in a
professional workshop.
Before any maintenance of the rectifier is executed, make sure the plug of the power cord has been disconnected from power
supply socket.
The rectifier must be stored away from unauthorised persons, particularly children. Also during work make sure the rectifier is
placed outside the reach of unauthorised persons, particularly children.
Before connecting the terminals of the rectifier, make sure the terminals of the accumulator are clean and free from corrosion.
Provide the best possible electric contact between the terminal of the accumulator and the terminal of the rectifier.
Do not ever charge a frozen accumulator. Before you commence charging, move the accumulator to a place in which the electro-
lyte may totally defrost. Do not heat accumulators in order to accelerate defrosting.
Preclude any leakage from accumulators. Any leakage from the accumulator on the rectifier may cause a short-circuit and thus an
electric shock, which may be dangerous for health and life.
OPERATION OF THE RECTIFIER
Preparation of the accumulator for charging
Get acquainted with the charging instructions provided along with the accumulator and observe them. In the case of the so called
„wet" acid-lead accumulators" it is necessary to check the level of electrolyte and, if required, replenish it with distilled water to the
level indicated in the documentation of the accumulator. While replenishing the level of electrolyte, observe strictly the recommen-
dations indicated in the documentation of the accumulator.
Connect the terminals of the rectifier to the terminals of the accumulator, make sure the terminal of the rectifier marked with a „+"
is connected to the terminal of the accumulator marked with a „+", and the terminal of the rectifier marked with a „-" is connected
to the terminal of the accumulator marked with a „-".
Connect the plug of the power cord to the power supply socket. The „POWER" diode will go on.
Using the „STEP 1" button, select the proper nominal charging voltage for the accumulator. The selected voltage of 6 V or 12 V
will be indicated with a lit diode next to the given value.
Using the „STEP 2" button, select the kind of the accumulator to be charged. „GEL" – means a lead-gel accumulator; „AGM"
– means an AGM accumulator; „WET" – means an acid-lead accumulator. In case of any doubts as to the kind of accumulator,
contact the manufacturer or the seller, in order to establish the type.
Using the „STEP 3" button, select the charging current. Observe the indications provided by the manufacturer of the accumulator,
but the table below will permit to roughly determine the charging current for the given capacity of the accumulator.

WET 2 A for the capacity of the accumulator amounting to 5 - 40 Ah
In case 6 V accumulators are being charged, it is not possible to adjust the charging current and it is independent of the option
selected with the „STEP 3" button.
Once all the options have been adjusted, the „READY" diode goes on – press the „GO" button in order to commence charging.
When the rectifier starts charging, the „CHARGE" diode will go on. If for any reason it is not possible to commence the process of
charging, the „FAULT" diode will go on.
Press the „GO" button again in order to interrupt the process of charging, and set all the parameters again.
The diodes described as „20%", „50%", „70%", „90%" and „FULL" inform of the successive stages of the charging process of the
accumulator.
Initial charging (20% - 70%) – at this stage the rectifier provides the maximum charging current to the accumulator, until the
programmed voltage of the accumulator has been reached; then it proceeds to the second stage.
Absorption charging (70% - 90%) – at this stage the voltage of charging is constant, and the charging current is gradually dimini-
shing in order to optimise the process of charging.
