The ammeter will indicate the current (in Amps) delivered
towards the battery: during this phase the pointer of the
ammeter will decrease slowly to very low values according
to the capacity and condition of the battery.
Simultaneous charging of several batteries
This operation must be performed with great caution:
WARNING; do not simultaneously charge different types of
batteries or batteries with different capacities or levels of
discharge.
If you have to charge more than one battery at the same time
you can connect them "in series" or "in parallel". Between the
two systems, we recommend connection in series because
you can easily check the current charging each battery, as it
will be the same as that shown by the ammeter.
NOTE: If two batteries with rated voltages of 12V are
connected in series, the battery charger MUST be set to the
24V position.
END OF CHARGING
- It is possible to END charging by pressing the (O) key, or
else the battery charger can be left to position itself
automatically to OFF when the time runs out.
- Disconnect the power supply to the battery charger by
disconnecting the cable from the mains outlet.
- Disconnect the black charge clamp from the chassis of the
vehicle or from the negative terminal of the battery (-
symbol).
- Disconnect the red charge clamp from the positive
terminal of the battery (+ symbol).
- Store the battery charger in a dry place
- Close up the battery cells with the appropriate caps (if
present).
STARTING
For starting set up the battery charger in the start position at
the voltage corresponding to that of the vehicle.
Before turning the starter key, it is essential to make a
rapid charge of 5-10 minutes, which will make starting
much easier.
The supplied current will be shown on the ammeter scale on
the display.
If no alarms of any type have triggered, you may proceed as
follows.
Before starting the vehicle, make sure the battery is
properly connected to the respective terminals (+ and -)
and that it is in good condition (not sulphated or failed).
To check whether the battery is sulphated or failed follow the
procedure described previously.
Never ever start vehicles with the batteries
disconnected from their respective terminals; the
presence of the battery is essential for eliminating any
possible overvoltage that could be generated by energy
accumulating in the connecting cables during the
starting phase.
WARNING:
- Before proceeding further read the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
- Ensure that the power supply line is protected by fuses or
automatic switches with a capacity corresponding to that
shown on the rating plate with the symbol (
- Carry out the starting operation keeping STRICTLY to the
work/pause cycles indicated on the appliance and do not
insist further if the vehicle engine does not start: this could
seriously damage the battery or even the electrical and
electronic equipment in the vehicle.
- If the vehicle engine does not start to turn it is
absolutely necessary to allow the starting phase to
conclude.
WARNING:
The STARTRONIC battery charger/starter is a
microprocessor-controlled electronic appliance that is able
to protect the vehicle electronics from overvoltage that may
be generated when charging particularly flat or sulphated
batteries. In this case the protective ability is demonstrated
as it blocks the charge function every time the ON key is
pressed : just a fraction of a second is needed to evaluate the
condition of the battery and automatically interrupt charging
on detection of overvoltage risks that are a danger to the
vehicle appliances connected electrically to the battery
terminals.
WARNING: select the charge voltage to match the rated
voltage of the battery to be charged.
CHARGING VERY FLA T OR SULPHATED BA TTERIES
WARNING: under these charge conditions the vehicle
electronics are not protected, therefore it is absolutely
necessary to disconnect the battery from the vehicle.
To be able to charge such batteries it is necessary to disable
the inherent property of the STARTRONIC that provides
protection against overvoltage that could destroy the vehicle
electronics.
To proceed with charging without the support of the
protections press the ON key for at least 5 seconds.
Pressing the ON key for more than 5 seconds will set the
STARTRONIC to an operating mode without controls on
possible overvoltage that may be generated when the
battery under charge is in very poor condition: the charging
process will continue until you choose to press the OFF key
or until the preset time limit is reached.
Unprotected operating mode is indicated by the thermal
relay alarm LED flashing.
STARTING VERY FLAT OR SULPHA TED BATTERIES
To be able to start potentially sulphated or very flat
batteries it may be necessary to start the vehicle
without the support of the electronic safeguards. So as
to prevent damage to on-board electronics in any case
(possible with high impedance batteries) it is
NECESSARY to allow the starter to conclude the 5
second cycle even if the vehicle engine does not start to
turn.
The start phase can be recognised by watching the
current value on the display.
7. SAFEGUARDING
The battery charger is fitted with safeguards that trigger if:
- overload (excess current output to the battery);
- over- and under-voltage (battery or instant charging
voltage too high or too low);
- short circuit (charge clamps touching one another);
- reverse polarity on battery terminals.
If it is necessary to replace the fuses in appliances fitted with
them, use identical replacements with the same rated
current value.
_________________________________________________________________________________
WARNING: If the replacement fuse has different
current values from those indicated on the rating plate
this could cause damage to people or objects. For the
same reason, never ever replace the fuse with bridges in
copper or other material.
The operation to replace the fuse should always be
c a r r i e d o u t w i t h t h e p o w e r s u p p l y c a b l e
DISCONNECTED from the main power supply.

(F) Alarms and safeguards
The appliance is protected against overload, short circuits
and reverse polarity by means of internal electronic
safeguards.
The 3 LED's (F) give different indications for safeguards and
faulty operation.
= Triggering of thermal relay (stays on).
= Non-protected mode (flashing).
= No battery voltage (stays on).
