4. Configurazione e connessione
Follow these steps to safely connect the GYSFLASH 12.12 charger to your battery:
- Preparare la batteria: Assicurarsi che i terminali della batteria siano puliti e privi di corrosione. Se si carica una batteria di un veicolo, assicurarsi che il motore del veicolo sia spento e che tutti gli accessori siano scollegati.
- Collegamento alla batteria:
- Collegare il rosso (+) caricabatterie clamp/terminal to the positivo (+) terminale della batteria.
- Collegare il Nero (-) caricabatterie clamp/terminal to the negativo (-) terminale della batteria.
- For in-vehicle batteries, if the battery is not grounded to the chassis, connect the black (-) clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal. If the battery is grounded to the chassis, connect the black (-) clamp al telaio del veicolo, lontano dalla batteria e dal tubo del carburante.
- Connettiti all'alimentazione: Plug the charger's AC power cable into a standard electrical outlet. The charger will power on.
- Seleziona modalità: Press the mode selection button to choose the appropriate charging mode (see Section 5).
To disconnect, first unplug the charger from the AC outlet, then disconnect the black (-) clamp, seguito dal rosso (+) clamp.
5. Modalità operative
The GYSFLASH 12.12 offers several operating modes to optimize charging for different battery types and conditions. Use the mode selection button to cycle through these options.
- Normal Charge Mode: Standard charging for most 12V lead-acid batteries (WET, MF, Ca/Ca, GEL).
- Modalità AGM: Specifically designed for cold weather charging (below 5°C) and for Start & Stop batteries (EFB & AGM types). This mode adjusts charging parameters for these specific conditions.
- Modalità di aggiornamento: Used to recover deeply discharged batteries. This mode attempts to recondition batteries that have been left discharged for extended periods.
- Modalità di fornitura: Transforms the charger into a stabilized power supply. This mode is useful for:
- Maintaining battery health during vehicle demonstrations in showrooms.
- Preserving vehicle memory settings (e.g., radio codes, ECU data) during battery replacement.
The charger also features an Optimized Maintenance Charge, allowing it to remain plugged in indefinitely during winter months to maintain battery health without overcharging.
6. 8-Step Intelligent Charging Curve
The GYSFLASH 12.12 utilizes an advanced 8-step charging curve to ensure efficient, safe, and complete charging, maximizing battery lifespan and performance. The external temperature sensor automatically adjusts this curve based on ambient conditions.
- Analisi: Assesses battery condition and initial charge level.
- Recupero: Initiates a gentle charge for deeply discharged batteries (SOS Recovery for batteries >2V).
- Test: Checks battery's ability to accept charge.
- Desolfatazione: Applies a pulsed charge to break down lead sulfate crystals, restoring battery capacity.
- Carica: Bulk charging phase, delivering maximum current until the battery reaches approximately 80% capacity.
- Assorbimento: Gradually reduces current while maintaining voltage to bring the battery to 100% charge.
- Aggiorna: (If selected or needed) Further reconditions the battery.
- Commissione variabile: Mantiene la batteria completamente carica con un volume basso e costantetage, preventing self-discharge.
7. Manutenzione
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of your GYSFLASH 12.12 charger and the batteries it charges.
- Cura del caricabatterie:
- Mantenere il caricabatterie pulito e asciutto. Pulire con un panno morbido e asciutto.amp stoffa. Non utilizzare solventi.
- Conservare il caricabatterie in un luogo fresco e asciutto quando non in uso.
- Ispezionare i cavi e i clamps regularly for damage. Replace if necessary.
- Cura della batteria:
- Assicurarsi che i terminali della batteria siano puliti e privi di corrosione.
- For conventional lead-acid batteries, check electrolyte levels periodically and top up with distilled water if needed (do not overfill).
- For optimal battery health, use the maintenance charge feature during long periods of inactivity.
8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
If you encounter issues with your GYSFLASH 12.12, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Il caricabatterie non si accende. | No AC power; faulty power cable. | Check AC outlet and power cable connection. Try a different outlet. |
| Charging indicator not active. | Collegamento errato della batteria; vol. della batteriatage too low; incorrect mode selected. | Verify positive/negative connections. Ensure battery voltage is above 2V for recovery. Select appropriate mode. |
| LED di errore illuminato. | Polarity reversal; short circuit; internal fault. | Disconnect charger, check connections for correct polarity. Inspect cables for damage. If error persists, contact support. |
| Battery not fully charged after extended time. | Battery deeply discharged or sulfated; battery capacity too large for charger; faulty battery. | Try "Refresh" mode for deeply discharged batteries. Ensure battery capacity is within charger's range (1.2-250 Ah). Test battery condition. |
| Charger automatically stops. | Battery disconnected; power cut; battery fully charged. | Check battery connections. The "Auto Restart" feature should resume charging after a power cut. If battery is full, this is normal operation. |
