5.2BA
- Make sure the power cable is disconnected from the mains.
- With models having more than one charge voltage, turn the
deviator the switch to the charge voltage. If there is
no deviator or switch, suitably connect the red crocodile clip (+
symbol) to the specic battery charger
with the selected charge voltage.
- Connect the red charge clamp to the positive terminal of the battery

positive terminal is the one not connected to the vehicle chassis.
- Connect

NOTE: if the battery is not installed in the vehicle, connect the clamp
directly to the negative terminal of the battery (- symbol).
5.3MANUALCHARGE
5.3.1MANUALCHARGE(CHARGE)MODE
Mode recommended for free electrolyte lead batteries (WET).
- Follow the instructions provided in paragraphs 5.1 and 5.2 carefully
- Turn the switch
the desired charge level using the switch seen in gure B-2.
- Power the battery charger by inserting the power cable into the
mains and pressing the switch to ON (if available).
- Monitor the charge indicator as described in paragraph 3.1.
NOTE:
liquid
soon as this happens to prevent damage to the battery
5.3.2AUT
The models that operate in TRONIC mode are recommended for
charging sealed batteries (GEL,
- Follow the instructions provided in paragraphs 5.1 and 5.2 carefully
- Turn the
charge level using the switch seen in gure B-2.
- Power the battery charger by inserting the power cable into the
mains. The battery charger controls the voltage present at the
battery ends and automatically disconnects the current supply
when the battery is charged (green charge LED) and connects
it again automatically when the battery starts to run down. The
TRONIC is ideal for keeping batteries (AGM and WET)
automatically charged over time with no risk of damage.

5.5.CHARGEENDING
- Disconnect the power to the battery charger moving the switch to
OFF (if available) and remove the power cable from the mains.
- Disconnect the black charge clamp from the vehicle chassis or
from the negative battery terminal (symbol -)
- Disconnect the red charging clamp from the positive battery
terminal (+ symbol).
- Return the battery charger to a dry place.
- Close the battery cells again, using the relative caps (if present).

could cause serious damage to the battery or even to the electrical
equipment in the vehicle. If the engine does not

6.1BA
- With the power cord disconnected from the mains, connect the
battery charger clamps as described in paragraph 5.2.
- Make

dead). ever start vehicles with the batteries disconnected
from their respective terminals; the presence of the battery is
essential for the elimination of possible overvoltage.

- Press the switch to ON, if available.
- Turn the
the engine.
6.3ENDOFST
- Disconnect the power to the battery charger by turning the switch
(if present) to OFF and remove the power cable from the mains.
- Disconnect the black crocodile clip from the negative battery
terminal (- symbol) and the red crocodile clip from the positive
battery terminal (+ symbol).
- Store the battery charger in a dry place.
7.BA
The battery charger protects itself from:
- Overcharge (too much current supplied to the battery).
- Short-circuit (loading clips placed in contact with each other).
- Polarity inversion on the battery clamps.
For appliances tted with fuses, if the fuses have to be replaced
always use the same kind of fuse with the same rated size.
W If the replacement fuse has a different size from that
shown on the rating plate it could cause damage to people or
property
bridge in copper or other material.

8.USEFUL
- If the positive and negative terminals are incrusted with oxide,
clean them to ensure good contacts with the clamps.
- Never ever to come into

- If the battery to which this battery charger is to be connected,
is permanently installed in the vehicle, also consult the vehicle
manufacturer’s user’s and maintenance handbook under the
“ELECTRICAL SYSTEM” or “MAINTENANCE” section.
