Charging The Battery In The Installed State - Eufab CB-20 Bedienungsanleitung

Connect the black minus cable to the minus pole of the battery, labelled either
„-" or „N".
Set the output voltage on the charger in accordance with the battery to be char-
ged, either 12 or 24 Volt, see Figure:
Switch to the Boost function of the charger on to quickly charge the battery,
or set the minimum (MIN) charging current to charge the battery more gently,
see Figure:
Only then, at the very end of set-up, plug the plug of the charger into the 230V
mains socket and set the main power switch on the rear of the device to ON. The
device is now switched on and working.Charging the battery in the installed
state.

2.3.2 Charging the battery in the installed state

We recommend not charging the battery in the installed state. When charging,
acid splashes are unavoidable. The acid will attack paint and other components
of the vehicle. With the battery connected to the vehicle, the vehicle electro-
nics may be damaged. Observe the instructions from the vehicle manufacturer.
For this purpose, read the operating instructions or maintenance manual of the
vehicle manufacturer.
Make sure that the mains power switch on the rear of the device is set to OFF
(see Figure)
and the plug of the charger is not connected to the power socket. The power
must be interrupted. The second step is to connect the red plus cable to the
plus pole of the battery, labelled either „+" or „P". Now clip the black minus ca-
ble to an exposed part of the chassis as far as possible from the battery and the
fuel line. Set the output voltage on the charger in accordance with the battery
to be charged, either 12 or 24 Volt, see Figure:
Switch to the Boost function of the charger on to quickly charge the battery,
or set the minimum (MIN) charging current to charge the battery more gently,
see Figure:
Only then, at the very end of set-up, plug the plug of the charger into the 230V
mains socket and set the main power switch on the rear of the device to ON.
The device is now switched on and working.
2.4 Charging current and duration.
During the charging process, the Ampere meter of the charger displays the
current charging current. The charging current drops during the course of charging. When the charging current approaches zero, the
battery is fully charged. In order to prevent overloading damages to the battery, the charging current of the battery must be cons-
tantly monitored. The charging duration of the battery to be charged depends on a number of factors, for example, the capacity of the
battery, the ambient temperature, the charging state, the performance of the charger etc. The exact charging state of the battery can
only be determined with a battery acid tester (battery acid density meter) which enables you to measure the specific density of the
electrolyte fluid. The following density values apply (kg/l at 20 °C):
1.28 ≙ charged battery
1.21 ≙ half charged battery
1.14 ≙ discharged battery
It is very important to monitor the charging process at short intervals.
