Battery Chargers; Charging Instructions - GYS CA 170 Bedienungsanleitung

Congratulations for the selection of this product which has been designed with great care. To get the best
of it, please read carefully following recommendations.
I / OPERATING MODE
All those models benefit of an "Automatic" charging mode, and possibly of a "manual " charging
mode.
Under "Automatic" mode, the charging process requires no supervision as an electronic card monitors
the voltage of the battery by stopping or starting the charging current according to the battery needs (W2
characteristic). Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the "OK" light comes on. This light may go off
and on again in order to bring the battery to a maximum capacity (equalizing process).
This concept allows the charger to remain permanently connected to the battery and the mains
without any risk.
Under "Manual" mode if existing, the charging process requires supervision by the user. This mode
allows a charge without voltage limitation to either charge sulphated batteries, or either fast charge a
regular battery (for a short period of time).
II / CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
1- Use an indoor well ventilated premise.
2- Switch "off" the green interruptor and connect the mains supply plug to a 230 V with earth
power supply plug.
3- Remove the battery caps if available and check that the level of liquid is correct; if not, top up
with distilled water. Clean well the battery terminals.
4- Check that the battery capacity is in line with the charger capacity (number used in the charger's
name).
5- For the multi-voltage chargers, select 6V, 12V or 24V as required.
6- Connect the clamps (+ red, - black) to + and – battery terminals, making sure you get a good
electric contact.
7- Switch the green lighted interruptor to "ON". Adjust the charging current by use of the "Slow-
Fast" (or 3 positions) selector :
The recommended charging current is 1/15 of the battery capacity (Ah). Above 1/10 of this capacity,
the charging current is high and should be considered only for a short period of time.
8- After charging : disconnect first the plug before to remove the cable from the battery.
9- When charging process is over, switch "OFF" the green lighted interruptor BEFORE removing
the battery clamps.
