12) The table below gives approximate maximum charging times from a totally discharged flat battery to fully
charged stat u s .However it is only in cases such as car headlights being left on for a week or the battery being
unused and kept in a warm environment for months that the battery will become totally discharged. The
«Normal Hours from Flat» indicates the average charging time to attain a fully charged battery from a status
whereby the battery is unable to turn the engine.
13) Table
Vehicle description Battery capacity Normal hours from flat Maximum time
50-900cc motor-cycle/ATV/Snow-m. 02 to 14 Amp-hours 02 to 10 hours 20 hours
Touring motor-cycle or Lawn tractor 15 to 30 Amp-hours 11 to 20 hours 40 hours
Small car up to 1400cc 31 to 44 Amp-hours 21 to 30 hours 80 hours
Medium car, 1400-1800cc 45 to 55 Amp-hours 31 to 40 hours 100 hours
Touring car, Boat,Tractor 56 to 75 Amp-hours 41 to 50 hours 120 hours
Limousine,Van 76 to 90 Amp-hours 51 to 60 hours 140 hours
To use the 12 Volt DC power supply function
1) First ensure that the rated Direct Current input of the appliance to be powered or load to be supported does
not exceed 0,6 Amps and that there is good ventilation around the device. Place the slide switch on the
device towards the right, blue side, to select the 12Vdc power supply function.
2) If the application is to power an appliance or to recharge a NiCd,NiMH or Li-lon battery pack in a portable
appliance for which a 12Vdc input of not exceeding 0,6A is required,refer to the NOTE in the preliminary text
above and connect the connection set intended for use with the power supply to the 2-pole connector
t e r m i n ating the output cable. Then insert the ap p r o p r i ate concentric plug into the input socket of the
appliance to be powered. Insulate the unusued heads of the 4-headed plug.
3) If the ap p l i c ation is to support the wiring system and on-board computer of a vehicle during a bat t e r y
change,use the battery clips in the manner described for the charging function,securing these to the wiring
s y s t e m ’s bat t e ry cl a m p s , if necessary using auxiliary means to ensure a 100% secure attachment during
disconnection and removal of the battery and until reinstallation of a battery and re-securing of the vehicle’s
wiring system’s bat t e ry cl a m p s . Note that the current drawn by the vehicl e ’s lighting (including interior
lighting) and/or audio, if activated, will exceed the maximum available 0,6A current and rapidly cause the
automatic annulment of the power supply which is protected against such overload.
4) Fully insert the device’s metal contact pins into a 220-240V AC mains supply socket and if this has a switch,
switch it on. If obstructions close to the wall socket prevent full insertion of the device, the casing of the
device (except the UK model) can be rotated through 90° relative to the contact pins so as to overcome such
diffculties.To achieve this,remove the device from the wall socket.Locate the rotation locking pin close to the
d e v i c e ’s AC contact pins. Use a flat tool to lift the locking pin just clear of the locking hole. This allow s
rotation through 90° to the alternative locking position. (NOTE : do not lift the locking-pin by more than is
necessary as this can result in its premature failure).
5) Refer to the LED panel explanation above.The 12V = Power Supply selection / power ON LED should light.
If not, check all connections.
6) To discontinue, switch off and/or withdraw the device from the wall socket then break the output
connections.
