Overload Cut-Out - EINHELL CC-BC 30/1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

A high initial current, approximately equal to the
rated current will fl ow in a normally discharged
battery. As the charging time increases, the char-
ging current will fall.
Old batteries for which the charging current does
not fall are suff ering from a defect, such as a cell
short circuit or ageing damage.
The charging current should be 1/10 to 1/6 of the
battery capacity.
Important! Do not exceed the charging time.
After the end of the charging time pull the plug out
of the socket and disconnect the charger from the
battery.
A high charge can only be identifi ed by measuring
the acid density using an acid tester. Note! Gases
are released during the charging process (bub-
bles will form on the surface of the battery fl uid). It
is essential that you ventilate the rooms well.

5.2 Finishing charging the battery
•
When the charging is completed, pull the po-
wer plug out of the socket-outlet.
•
First disconnect the black charging cable
from the bodywork.
•
Then release the red charging cable from the
positive pole on the battery.
•
Important! In case of positive earthing, first
disconnect the red charging cable from the
bodywork and then the black charging cable
from the battery.
•
Screw or push the battery stoppers back into
position (if there are any).
•
Turn the charging voltage switch to "0".
5.3 Jump starting function
6 - 24V max. 80 A arithm. / 100 A eff .
1. Set the battery voltage (6V / 12V or 24V)
2. Move the current setting switch to setting 6.
(Fig. 3).
3. Pre-charge the battery for 5-10 minutes as
described in point 5.1 "Charging the battery".
4. Press the „STARTING" button and start the
vehicle at the same time. If the equipment is
overloaded for longer than 5 seconds during
the jump start operation, the overload switch
will switch off the equipment.

If starting has failed, you can press the button of
the overload switch back in again after approx. 3
minutes and repeat the starting operation. Star-
ting is easier if the battery is charged at the high-
est charge setting for approx. 10 minutes prior to
starting.
After you have fi nished jump starting, place the
device out of operation as described in 5.2.

6. Overload cut-out

Fig. 5:
The integral overload switch protects the device
from overloads and short circuits. When the over-
load switch trips, its pushbutton will jump further
outwards; after a brief cooling break of approx. 3
minutes it can be pushed in again. The thermal
cut-out wound into the transformer protects the
equipment from overheating.
Fig. 6:
The strip fuse on the rear side of the equipment
protects the equipment from short circuits and po-
larity reversal. Changing the strip fuse: Use a fuse
with the same ampere value.
Note:
In the case of fl at batteries, an overload switch
may trip at the upper charge settings in particular
when the mains voltage is excessively high. In this
case it makes sense to pre-charge the battery at
a low charge setting (if available) for a short time
until the overload cut-out holds.
7. Maintenance and care of the
battery
•
Ensure that your battery is always fitted se-
curely.
•
A perfect connection to the cable network of
the electrical system must be ensured at all
times.
•
Keep the battery clean and dry. Apply a thin
coating of grease to the connection terminals
using an acid-free, acid-resistant grease
(Vaseline).
•
Check the level of the acid in batteries that
are not maintenance-free versions approxi-
mately every 4 weeks and top up with distilled
water if necessary.
