Assembly and electrical connection Fig.3
ΒΎ Put together the separate parts contained in the package.
ΒΎ Make sure that there is a fuse or automatic circuit breaker for
the electric line, suitable for the device max input.
ξ‚„ The device must be connected only to a supply system, with
an earthed β€˜neutral’ lead.
ΒΎ Supply plug: If the device does not have a plug, connect a
standardised plug of suitable capacity to the power supply
cable, (2P+E for 1Ph).

Battery charger connection
Before starting the battery charger, make sure that the
battery voltage selected is the right one. Incorrect battery
voltage can damage objects and injure people.
To protect the electronic components on the vehicle,
carefully read the instructions by the car manufacturer
and the battery manufacturer before charging a battery
or using the Quick start procedure.
ΒΎ Connect red charging clamp to positive (+) battery terminal and
black charging clamp (-) to negative battery terminal.

the bodywork. Afterwards, connect the second clamp to the
bodywork at a point far from both the battery and the petrol
pipes.
ΒΎ To stop charging the battery. In the following order, cut
off the power supply, remove the clamp from the bodywork
or the negative (-) terminal, and remove the clamp from the

Charging a battery
Mod.1, 2, 3, 4
ΒΎ Ensure that switch [A] is in 0/OFF position (Mod.1,3) or that
the battery charger is disconnected from the electric current
net. (Mod.2, 4).
ΒΎ Select the battery voltage [C]
ΒΎ Select the β€œBATTERY CHARGER” function [B]
ΒΎ Select the charging current (output amps adjustment) [D]
ΒΎ (Mod.1,3) Turn switch [A] to 1/ON.
ΒΎ (Mod.2,4) Connect the battery charger to main supply
L (Mod.1,3) If the overload cutout is tripped, the ON/OFF
[A] light will go out.

ξ‚„ The ammeter may not indicate any value if the charger is set
to Min and is connected to a well charged battery
ξ‚„ During charging of the battery, the rate of charge, shown on
the ammeter will slowly fall until it remains at a steady value
(never zero), indicating that the battery is charged.
ξ‚„ The charging current absorbed by a battery recharging
depends on the state of the battery itself. For models
with charge settings, select the charging current
nearest to 10% of the capacity of the battery for
charging. (ex. I=4 Amps. for a battery of 40 Amp/h.).
Make sure that the battery capacity (Ah) is not less than that
indicated on the battery charger (C-Min).
ξ‚„ Once a battery is charged and bubbles form in the liquid
electrolyte, it is advisable to end the charging so that the
battery does not get damaged.
Charging sealed MF, GEL, AGM batteries
You cannot reach the liquid electrolyte in a sealed battery. Do
not overcharge batteries and so you will protect the battery
life.
Slow charge; frequently check voltage at the battery terminals
by means of a regular tester.

Before starting the battery charger, make sure that the
battery voltage selected is the right one. Incorrect battery
voltage can damage objects and injure people.
To protect the electronic components on the vehicle,
carefully read the instructions by the car manufacturer
and the battery manufacturer before charging a battery
or using the Quick start procedure.
ξ‚„ To protect the vehicle electronics:
D Do not use the quick start procedure if the battery is
sulphated or faulty.
D Do not use the quick start procedure if the battery is not
connected to the vehicle: The presence of the battery is
essential to eliminate any overvoltage that may be created
as the result of energy accumulated in the connecting cables
at the quick start phase.
ξ‚„ To facilitate a quick start, it is advisable to make a quick
charge of 10-15 minutes.
ξ‚„ Observe the quick start / pause cycles on the rating plate
or in the technical data so that the battery charger does not
overheat: For example, 5’’ ON / 10’’ OFF 5 Cycle.
ξ‚„ Do not repeatedly try quick starts if the motor does not start:
This may damage the battery or the vehicle electric system.
Mod.3, 4
ΒΎ Ensure that switch [A] is in 0/OFF position (Mod.3) or that
the battery charger is disconnected from the electric current

reverse polarity. [H]
This fuse interrupts the electric circuit every time there is
surcharge caused by a short circuit at the clamps or the
battery cells, or by reverse polarity at the battery terminals (+;
-).
However, there may be other irregular situations that the fuse
cannot protect against. (For instance, a battery with a very low
charge connected and the polarity is reversed).
Always make sure that the polarity is correct so as not to
injure people or damage things.
Disconnect the battery charger from the mains before
replacing fuses.
L The appliance is equipped with a thermostatic cut-out with
automatic reset which is tripped in case of thermal overload
to protect the device against any overheating.
