Monitoring Mode - Oxford Oximiser3X Bedienungsanleitung

GB
a. Charges a discharged battery at a constant current of either 0.8 Amps or 3.6 Amps depending on charge
mode selection.
b. Charges until the battery is 80-90% re-charged.
c. Once this mode is complete, the CHARGE led light will flash for 1 minute and then proceed to the
MAINTAIN MODE.
5. MAINTAIN (ABSORPTION) MODE:
a. Charges the battery at a constant current of either 0.2A or 1.0A depending on charge mode selection.
b. Charges until the battery is 100% re-charged.
6. VOLTAGE RETENTION CHECK:
a. When the battery has been fully charged, the Oximiser3X will stop charging and will monitor the battery
voltage for 60 minutes to identify if the battery is able to retain a full charge.
b. The MAINTAIN led light will flash for 1 hour whilst the battery is being analysed.
c. This test is useful when the battery remains connected to a vehicle as it may indicate that a small current
drain exists. This could be caused by a wiring deficiency, an electronic device left switched on or perhaps
due to the connection of an anti-theft alarm. Alternatively it may show that the battery is faulty and a
replacement should be considered before complete failure occurs. Batteries that are sulphated or are
damaged will fall below their Open circuit voltage (OCV) and should be considered for replacement.
7. ADVISES BATTERY CONDITION:
a. If during STAGE 6 the battery is unable to retain voltage to an operational level, then a constant WEAK
battery light is shown to indicate that the battery is unable to retain its charge.
b. The Oximiser3X will continue to re-charge the battery until it is able to hold its charge. This gentle
repairing action allows the battery condition to be optimised in a safe and controlled way.
c. The charger will attempt to condition the battery for a maximum of 3 times.
d. If the battery will not hold its charge voltage, the charger will show a flashing light to indicate WEAK
battery condition and stop charging. Replacement of the battery should be considered.
e. Once the battery is fully charged and able to retain its charge for periods longer than 60 minutes the
charge cycle is complete and the MAINTAIN & STRONG battery condition light will be shown.

8. MONITORING MODE:

a. Under the MAINTAIN mode, the Oximiser3X will maintain and optimise the battery indefinitely so long as
it remains connected to the battery.
b. Hourly tests and voltage monitoring determine the battery condition and charge rate requirements.
i. If the battery voltage has dropped it will apply the necessary charge rate to ensure the battery
remains in perfect condition.
ii. If the battery remains in optimum condition, the Oximiser3X will not attempt to charge the battery.
Therefore no over-charging can occur.
10. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
a) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE
GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT
YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME BEFORE YOU USE THE CHARGER.
b) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions, those marked on the battery and those
published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of
battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit
battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a
