OPTIMATE 1 VOLTMATIC: CONNECTION ACCESSORIES
Two interchangeable connection sets are supplied with the battery charger:
1) A battery lead with metal eyelet lugs for permanent fitment to the battery posts, and re-sealable
weatherproof cap on the on the connector that connects to the charger output cable. Consult a
professional service agent for assistance in attaching the metal eyelets to the battery posts. Secure
the connector with weatherproof cap so that it cannot foul any moving part of the vehicle or the cable
can be pinched or damaged by sharp edges.
IMPORTANT: This battery lead is protected by a fuse. If under any circumstance the fuse blows, do not
try and replace the fuse without first identifying and correcting the issue that caused the fuse to blow.
2) A set of battery clips for charging the battery on or off-vehicle. Read IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS points 8 or 9 before connecting to the battery.
USING THE OPTIMATE 1 VOLTMATIC: PROCEEDING TO CHARGE
For safety reasons, the OptiMate output will only activate if a battery retaining at least 4V is
connected.
Panel LED:
LED #1 (RED) - Confirms AC Power supply to the charger. The voltmatic processor will select
6V or 12V charge mode according to battery voltage.
LED #1 on: Battery voltage higher than 8V; 12V charge mode is selected.
LED #1 blinking: Battery voltage lower than 8V; 6V charge mode is now selected.
NOTE: A very flat neglected 12V battery measuring less than 8V at the battery terminals will be
selected as a 6V battery. To save a low voltage 12V battery, 12V charging mode must be
pre-selected as follows:
STEP 1: Disconnect OptiMate 1 from AC power supply. STEP 2: Wait for LED #1 to go out. STEP 3:
Connect battery clips together. STEP 4: Reconnect OptiMate 1 to AC power supply. STEP 5: LED #1
flashes for 3 seconds and then turns on, confirming 12V mode is pre-selected. STEP 6: Disconnect
clips from each other. STEP 7: Connect OptiMate 1 to the 12V battery. Charging will proceed in 12V
mode. NOTE: Once the 12V battery is disconnected after charging OptiMate 1 will return to
