4. Impostazione

4.1. Ispezione iniziale

Before first use, inspect the charger and all accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use the device if any part is damaged.

4.2. Collegamento alla batteria

1. Ensure the charger is disconnected from the mains power supply.
2. Identifica i terminali positivo (+) e negativo (-) della batteria.
3. Collegare il rosso (positivo) clamp or eyelet terminal to the positive (+) battery terminal.
4. Collegare il nero (negativo) clamp or eyelet terminal to the negative (-) battery terminal.
5. For vehicle batteries, connect the negative clamp to the vehicle chassis away from the battery and fuel line if the battery is still in the vehicle and the negative terminal is grounded. Consult your vehicle's manual for specific instructions.
6. Assicurarsi che i collegamenti siano saldi e privi di corrosione.

4.3. Collegamento all'alimentazione

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1. Automatic Charging (Pulse Tronic)

The charger automatically detects the connected battery type and voltage (12V/24V) and initiates the appropriate Pulse Tronic charging program. The LCD display will show the selected battery type and the current charging stage (1-8).

• Stage 1 (CHECK): Initial battery analysis.
• Stage 2 (DESULFATION): Recovers sulfated batteries (RECOVERY function).
• Stage 3 (ANALYSE): Further battery condition assessment.
• Stage 4 (MAIN CHARGE): Bulk charging phase.
• Stage 5 (FINE CHARGE): Absorption charging phase.
• Stage 6 (VERIFY): Checks charge level.
• Stage 7 (FLOAT): Maintains full charge.
• Stage 8 (PULSE): Long-term maintenance charging.

5.2. Funzioni speciali

Press the control button to cycle through available special functions:

• BOOST Function: For rapid charging. Select this mode for a quicker charge cycle.
• Funzione FREDDO: Optimizes charging for low-temperature environments. This ensures efficient charging even in cold conditions.
• Funzione RECUPERO: Specifically designed to restore sulfated batteries. The charger applies a pulsed current to break down sulfate crystals.
• TEST Function: Performs diagnostic tests on the vehicle's battery, starting system, and alternator. The display will show the test results.
• SUPPLY Function: Provides a stable power supply to the vehicle's electrical system during battery replacement. This prevents loss of vehicle memory settings (e.g., radio presets, ECU data).

To select a function, press the button until the desired function is highlighted on the LCD display, then release the button. The charger will automatically begin the selected operation.

5.3. Scollegamento del caricabatterie

1. Disconnect the charger from the mains power supply first.
2. Scollegare il polo nero (negativo)amp/eyelet from the battery or vehicle chassis.
3. Scollegare il polo rosso (positivo)amp/eyelet from the battery.
