OPERATING MODE WITH TESTER FUNCTION
When it is not connected to the mains supply, this charger is a battery tester. It lets you know the state of the battery. The integrated
voltmeter informs you by three LEDs:
• red : <12.3V : battery to be charged
• orange : between 12.3 and 12.6V : middle charge
• green : >12.6V : charged
CONNECTION IN CHARGER FUNCTION
Preliminary precautions
• For indoor use, with good ventilation.
• Remove the battery caps if there is, and check the level of liquid. If it is not correct, lled up with distilled water. Clean well the
battery terminals.
• Check if the battery capacity and voltage are compatible with your charger.
Connection and disconnection
• Connect the clamps (+ red, - black) to + and - battery terminals, making sure you get a good electric contact, respecting the
following order.
◦ Connect rst the battery terminal not connected to the chassis of the vehicle.
◦ Then connect the other connection to the chassis remote from the battery and any fuel line (to limit the risk of ignition of
petrol vapor at the appearance of an electric arc can result from accidental disconnection in charge of the clamp).
◦ Select the charge speed with the front switch
◦ At last, plug in your charger to 230 V 50/60 Hz mains supply.
• After charging, disconnected the battery charger from supply mains. Then remove the chassis connection and the battery
connection, in this order.
Current selection
Depending on the capacity of the battery of the vehicle, select the current position:
Position Minimum Maximum
TCB 60
2 A 10 Ah 30 Ah
4 A 20 Ah 60 Ah
TCB 90
2 A 15 Ah 30 Ah
5,5 A 30 Ah 90 Ah
TCB 120
3,5 A 20 Ah 60 Ah
7 A 35 Ah 120 Ah
Charge process
• The green light «POWER» above the fuse indicates AC power connection.
• The orange light indicates that the charge is in progress.
• The green LED lights when the charge is nished.
• If the green LED is not lighting after quite a long time, check the front fuse after switching off your product. If it still does not
work, please check the battery by a professional.
• This product can charge automatically one battery with its rated loading current, and then continue with a moderate speed
to nish the loading 100%. With that function « oating », you can leave the battery connected to your product unlimitedly
without any risk.
• The charger detects a battery with a voltage above 4 V.
PROTECTIONS
Your product has been developed with a maximum of protections.
• The clamps of the battery charger are isolated, and there is no voltage on the clamp as long as the battery is not connected.
• The polarity reversal will not cause danger. In case of polarity error a buzzer sounds.
• Your charger is protected against over current that can occur with faulty batteries or false use of the product by the front fuse.
• Thermal protection: the transformer of the product is protected by a thermal switch (cooling: about ¼ h).
