Schumacher Electric XC75 Manual Del Usuario página 6

The digital display will show an error code
(see the Troubleshooting section for a
description of the error codes). To reset
after an aborted charge, unplug the charger
from the AC outlet, wait a few moments and
then plug it back in.
DESULFATION MODE
Desulfation could take 8 to 10 hours. If
desulfation fails, charging will abort and the
CHARGING (yellow) LED will flash.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the
CHARGED (green) LED. When
pulsing, the charger has switched to the
maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT-MODE MONITORING)
When the CHARGED
the charger has started maintain mode. In this
mode, the charger keeps the battery fully
charged by delivering a small current when
necessary. If the charger has to provide its
maximum maintain current for a continuous
12 hour period, it will go into abort mode (see
Aborted Charge section). This is usually
caused by a drain on the battery or the battery
could be bad.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The XC75, XC75W, XC103 and XC103W
charge and maintain both 6 and 12 volt
batteries.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology
utilized in Schumacher maintainers allows
you to safely charge and maintain a healthy
battery for extended periods of time.
However, problems with the battery, electrical
problems in the vehicle, improper
connections or other unanticipated conditions
could cause excessive current draws. As
such, occasionally monitoring your battery
and the charging process is required.
USING THE ENGINE START FEATURE
Your battery charger can be used to jump
start your car if the battery is low. Follow all
safety instructions and precautions for
charging your battery. Wear complete eye
protection and protective clothing.
WARNING: Using the ENGINE START
feature WITHOUT a battery installed in the
vehicle could cause damage to the vehicle's
electrical system.
NOTE: If you have charged the battery and
it still will not start your car, do not use the
Engine Start feature, or it could damage the
vehicle's electrical system. Have the battery
checked.

1. With the charger unplugged from the
AC outlet, connect the charger to the
battery following the instructions given
in the CHARGING A BATTERY IN THE
VEHICLE section.
2. Plug the charger AC power cord into the
AC outlet.
3. With the charger plugged in and
connected to the battery and chassis,
press the RATE SELECTION button until
the ENGINE START LED is lit.
4. Crank the engine until it starts or 3
seconds pass. If the engine does not
start, wait 3 minutes before cranking
again. This allows the charger and battery
to cool down.
NOTE: During extremely cold weather, or if
the battery is under 2 volts, charge the battery
for 5 minutes before cranking the engine.
5. If the engine fails to start, charge the
battery for 5 more minutes before
attempting to crank the engine again.
6. After the engine starts, unplug the AC
power cord before disconnecting the
battery clamps from the vehicle.
7. Clean and store the charger in a dry
location.
NOTE: If the engine does turn over but
never starts, there is not a problem with the
starting system; there is a problem
somewhere else with the vehicle. STOP
cranking the engine until the other problem
has been diagnosed and corrected.
ENGINE STARTING NOTES
During the starting sequence listed above,
the charger is set to one of three states:
• Wait for cranking – The charger waits until
the engine is actually being cranked before
delivering the amps for engine start and will
reset if the engine is not cranked within 15
minutes. (If the charger resets, it sets itself to
the default start up settings). While waiting for
cranking, the digital display shows rdy.
• Cranking – When cranking is detected, the
charger will automatically deliver up to its
maximum output as required by the starting
system for up to 3 seconds or until the engine
cranking stops. The digital display shows a
countdown of the remaining crank time.
• Cool Down – After cranking, the charger
enters a mandatory 3 minute (180 second)
cool down state. The digital display indicates
the remaining cool down time in seconds. It
starts at 180 and counts down to 0. After 3
minutes, the digital display will change from
displaying the countdown to displaying rdy.
The CHARGING LED will then be lit.
