 Open all filler caps and leave them open during charging, unless the battery has special safety features
built-in (e.g. spark arrestor). Refer to the data sheet of the battery or consult a specialist to find out.
 Make sure the battery charger is not connected to the mains [10].
 Verify whether the battery is a 12 V or 24 V type. Connect the negative (red) lead with the appropriate
terminal: +12 V [9] for 12 V batteries, +24 V [8] for 24 V batteries. The terminal knob must be screwed
tightly on the terminal.
 Connect the positive clamp of the battery charger (red) with the positive pole (+) of the battery. Make
sure the clamp is secured tight.
 Connect the negative clamp of the battery charger (black) with the negative pole (-) of the battery. Make
sure the clamp is secured tight.
 Plug the battery charger into a suitable mains outlet.
6. Operation
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
 When all preparations are done (see §5), switch on the charger [6].
 Set the MIN/BOOST switch [5] to BOOST for fast charging (high current, 20 A). MIN for slow charging.
When MIN is selected the output current can be set to low (1, charging current = 12 A) or normal (2,
charging current = 16 A) using the 1/2 switch [4].
 The current meter [1] indicates the charging current. The more the battery is charged, the less current it
will draw. When the current reaches 0 (zero) the charging process must be stopped to prevent the
increasing battery voltage level from destroying the battery.
Note: another way to determine the charge level of the battery is by measuring the density of the acid
using a density meter (see table below).
density = 1.285 g/ml
density = 1.21 g/ml)
density = 1.16 g/ml)
 When the battery is fully charged, immediately switch off the charger [6]. Overcharging will destroy the
battery.
 Disconnect the battery from the charger, starting with the clamp on the negative pole (black) and then
proceed with the clamp on the positive pole (red).
7. Fuses
The AC30 has 3 safety fuses installed.
 Thermal fuse: this fuse cuts of the output power when the temperature of the charger is too high. Power
automatically restores when the temperature drops below an acceptable level.
 Input fuse [3]: protects the charger from power anomalies on the mains input power. To replace,
disconnect the charger from the mains and disconnect the connected battery. Unscrew the holder [3]
(counter clockwise) and replace the broken fuse by a fuse with the same specifications (F5 A/250 V).
Tightly screw the holder back in place.
 Output fuse [2]: protects the connected battery from over-current. To replace, disconnect the charger from
the mains and disconnect the connected battery. Simply unplug the fuse from the socket and install a new
one. Only use a fuse with the same specifications (30 A).
8. Maintenance
 Always remove the plug from the mains socket and disconnect batteries when servicing or cleaning the charger.
 Never use water or any other liquids to clean the charger.
 Keep the cables clean, but avoid using cleaners based on benzene, trichloroethylene, chloride, ammonia...
as they affect or even dissolve plastic parts.
 Check liquid level of batteries once per month and fill up when necessary.
 Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
