Times are based on a 50% discharged battery and may change, depending on

age and condition of battery.

AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE

When an automatic charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintain

mode automatically after the battery is charged. For a battery with a starting

voltage under 1 volt, use a manual charger to pre-charge the battery for ve

minutes, to get additional voltage into the battery.

BAD BATTERY

If charging cannot be completed normally, the charger’s output is shut off and the

red LED will ash. Have the battery checked and replace, if necessary.

DESULFATION MODE

If the battery is left discharged for an extended period of time, it could become

sulfated and not accept a normal charge. If the charger detects a sulfated

battery, the charger will switch to a special mode of operation designed for such

batteries. If successful, normal charging will resume after the battery is desulfated.

Desulfation could take 8-10 hours. If desulfation fails, the red LED will ash.

COMPLETION OF CHARGE

Charge completion is indicated by the green LED. When solid, the charger has

switched to the maintain mode of operation.

MAINTAIN MODE (FLOAT MODE MONITORING)

When the green LED is solid, the charger has completed charging and 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

• 13 •

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. Make sure there are no loads on the battery. If

there are, remove them. If there are none, have the battery checked or replaced.

MAINTAINING A BATTERY

This unit maintains both 6 and 12 volt batteries, keeping them at full charge.

It is not recommended for industrial applications.

NOTE: The maintain mode technology 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.

13. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

A minimal amount of care can keep your battery charger working properly for years.

• Clean the clamps each time you are nished charging. Wipe off any battery

uid that may have come in contact with the clamps to prevent corrosion.

• Occasionally cleaning the case of the charger with a soft cloth will keep the

nish shiny and help prevent corrosion.

• Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. This will help

prevent accidental damage to the cords and charger.

• Store the charger unplugged from the AC power outlet in an upright position.

• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not store the ring terminals clipped

together, on or around metal.

14. TROUBLESHOOTING

batería o en cualquier otra pieza eléctrica que podría provocar una explosión.

2.7 No utilice elementos personales de metal tales como anillos, pulseras, collares y relojes

al trabajar con una batería de plomo-ácido. Una batería de plomo-ácido puede producir

una corriente de cortocircuito lo sucientemente elevada como para soldar un anillo o

provocar efectos similares sobre el metal, causando una quemadura de gravedad.

2.8 Utilice este cargador solamente para cargar baterías de 6V y 12V de tipo plomo-

ácido (estándar, AGM o GEL). Este cargador no está destinado a suministrar

energía a sistemas eléctricos de baja tensión más que en una aplicación de un

motor de arranque. No utilice este cargador de batería para cargar baterías de

pila seca que por lo general se utilizan con artefactos domésticos. Estas baterías

podrían explotar y provocar lesiones a personas o daño a la propiedad.

2.9 NUNCA cargue una batería congelada.

3. PREPARACIÓN PARA LA CARGA

3.1 Si resulta necesario extraer la batería del vehículo para cargarla, siempre retire el

terminal con descarga a tierra en primer lugar. Asegúrese de que todos los accesorios

en el vehículo se encuentren apagados para evitar la formación de arcos eléctricos.

3.2 Asegúrese de que el área que rodea a la batería se encuentre bien ventilada

mientras se carga la batería.

3.3 Limpie los terminales de la batería antes de cargar la batería. Durante la limpieza,

evite que la corrosión producida por aire tenga contacto con sus ojos.

3.4 Agregue agua destilada a cada pila hasta que el ácido de la batería alcance el

nivel especicado por el fabricante de la batería. No provoque derrames. En lo que

concierne a baterías que no cuentan con tapas extraíbles para pilas, tales como

baterías de plomo-ácido reguladas por válvulas (VRLA, por sus siglas en inglés),

siga cuidadosamente las instrucciones de recarga del fabricante.

3.5 Controle todas las precauciones especícas establecidas por el fabricante de la

batería al realizar la carga, así también como los índices de carga recomendados.

3.6 Determine la tensión de la batería al consultar el manual del usuario del vehículo y

asegúrese de que el interruptor de selección de la tensión de salida se encuentre

establecido en la tensión correcta (si es aplicable). Si el cargador posee un índice de

carga ajustable, cargue la batería en el menor índice en primer lugar.

4. UBICACIÓN DEL CARGADOR

4.1 Ubique el cargador a la mayor distancia posible de la batería como lo permitan los

cables de CC.

4.2 Nunca ubique el cargador directamente por encima de la batería que se carga; los

gases de la batería corroerán y dañarán el cargador.

4.3 Nunca permita que el ácido de la batería gotee sobre el cargador al leer el peso

especíco del electrolito o al cargar la batería.

4.4 No utilice el cargador en un área cerrada o restrinja la ventilación en cualquier forma.

4.5 No ubique la batería encima del cargador.

5. PRECAUCIONES DE CONEXIÓN EN CC

5.1 Conecte y desconecte los terminales de anillo de salida CC. sólo después de haber

establecido todos los interruptores del cargador a la posición de “apagado” (si es

aplicable) y de haber desconectado el enchufe de C.A. del tomacorriente eléctrico.

Nunca permita que los terminales de anillo tengan contacto entre sí.

5.2 Sujete los terminales de anillo a la batería y al chasis, como se indica en en las

secciones 6 y 7.

6. SIGA ESTOS PASOS CUANDO LA BATERÍA ESTÉ COLOCADA EN EL VEHÍCULO

ADVERTENCIA: UNA CHISPA PROVOCADA CERCA DE LA BATERÍA PUEDE

CAUSAR LA EXPLOSIÓN DE LA BATERÍA. PARA REDUCIR EL RIESGO DE

PROVOCAR CHISPAS CERCA DE LA BATERÍA:

6.1 Ubique los cables de CA y CC adecuadamente para reducir el riesgo de daños

por la cubierta, la puerta y las piezas móviles o calientes del motor.

6.2 Manténgase alejado de las paletas del ventilador, correas, poleas y otras piezas

que podrían provocar lesiones.

6.3 Verique la polaridad de los bornes de la batería. El borne POSITIVO (POS, P, +) de la

batería generalmente posee un diámetro mayor al borne NEGATIVO (NEG, N, -).

6.4 Determine qué borne de la batería hace descarga a tierra (se encuentra

conectado) con el chasis. Si el borne negativo hace descarga a tierra con el

chasis (como en la mayor parte de los vehículos), ver el paso (6.5) Si el borne

positivo hace descarga a tierra con el chasis, ver el paso (6.6).

6.5 En un vehículo con descarga a tierra por borne negativo, conecte el terminal de

anillo POSITIVO (ROJO) del cargador de batería al borne POSITIVO (POS, P, +) sin

descarga a tierra de la batería. Conecte el terminal de anillo NEGATIVO (NEGRO)

al chasis del vehículo o al bloque motor alejado de la batería. No conecte el terminal

de anillo al carburador, líneas de combustible o cuerpos metálicos. Conecte a una

pieza metálica de calibre grueso del marco o del bloque motor.

6.6 En un vehículo con descarga a tierra por borne positivo, conecte el terminal de

anillo NEGATIVO (NEGRO) del cargador de batería al borne NEGATIVO (NEG,

N, -) sin descarga a tierra de la batería. Conecte el terminal de anillo POSITIVO

(ROJO) al chasis del vehículo o al bloque motor alejado de la batería. No conecte

al carburador, líneas de combustible o cuerpos metálicos. Conecte a una pieza

metálica de calibre grueso del marco o del bloque motor.

6.7 Al desconectar el cargador, apague todos los interruptores (en su caso),

desconecte el cable de C.A., retire el terminal de anillo del chasis del vehículo y

luego retire el terminal de anillo del terminal perteneciente a la batería.

6.8 Vea Instrucciones de Operación para duración de la carga.
