GENERAL DESCRIPTION Your Gysash is ideal to charge most lead-acid batteries, often used for cars and many other vehicles. These batteries can be of many types ex: GEL (gel electrolyte), AGM (absorbed glass mat), WET, MF (Maintenance Free), CA (Calcium)... The Gysash 8.12 is designed to charge 12V batteries (6*2V elements) from 15Ah to 160Ah and up to 240Ah for oating charge. The Gysash 12.12 is designed to charge 12V batteries (6*2V elements) from 20Ah to 250Ah and up to 330Ah for oating charge. Its power supply mode (SUPPLY) provides current for demonstration vehicles and enables battery replacement without vehicle system’s memory loss.The GYSFLASH 12.12 is tted with an integrated temperature probe that ensures that the voltage output is adapted to the ambient temperature. This adjustment is done in charge or in supply mode, it ensures a highly precise charge adapted to the ambient temperature. START UP 1. Connect the charger to the battery.2. Plug the charger to the mains (single phase 220-240Vac 50-60Hz). 3. Select the mode by pressing the button. After roughly 5 seconds, the charge starts automatically.4. During the charge, the device indicates the charge’s progress. When the indicator blinks, the battery is ready to start the vehicle. Once the indicator stays on, the battery is completely charged.5. The charge can be interrupted at any time by unplugging the mains plug or pressing the button.6. After charging, disconnect the charger from the mains, then disconnect the charger’s connections from the battery.8 GYSFLASH 8.12 / 12.12

Translation of the original instructions CHARGE MODES

• Modes and Options description: CHARGE mode (14.4V / 8A-12A):Mode designed to charge and maintain (oating charge) 12V lead-acid batteries. 8 steps automatic maintenance cycle.COLD/AGM or AGM Option (14.7V):Modies the charging voltage at 14.7V for some AGM batteries or batteries with caps. For the Gysash 8.12, this option allows to charge the battery during cold weather (Less than 5°C).REFRESH Option (15.8V):Option which add an extra step (step 7) to the charge cycle to restore deeply discharged batteries. : this option is not recommended for charging sealed batteries.Recommendation: Check the battery’s water level and if necessary, perform with a Refresh charge.SUPPLY Mode (13.6V/7A):This mode enables to use the charger as a stabilised power supply, with a voltage regulated at 13.6V. This mode is designed for providing a power supply to demonstration vehicles and can also be used to replace a vehicle’s battery while maintaining the system’s memory. With this mode, there is no time limit.When the indicator is on, the volyage is properly regulated. If the indicator blinks, this means that the current absorbed by the battery is higher than the charger’s maximum current (8A or 12A) and that the battery might end up being discharged.
• Charging curve: The GYSFLASH 8.12 and 12.12 use an 8 steps charging curve which guarantees optimal performance for your battery.

Refresh(If option activated)1h - 4hStep : AnalysisAnalyses the battery state (charge level, polarity inversion, wrong battery…)Step : Charge ( 8A-12A)Fast charge with maximum current that can reach 80% charge level.Step : Recovery ( 3A-4A)Damaged elements recovery due to an extended deep discharge algorithm.Step : Absorption (14.4V or 14.7V with option /AGM)Constant voltage charge to reach a 100% charge level.Étape : TestSulfated battery testStep : Refresh (option 15.8V) If the refresh option has bene selected, the charger will inject an additional current that will generate some gas, thus recondition-ning the battery’s cells. During this phase, the battery may loose a bit of water.Step : Desulfation ( 15.8V)Battery desulfation algorithm.Step : Floating charge (13.6V)Maintains battery charge level at its maximum.9 GYSFLASH 8.12 / 12.12

• Protections : The GYSFLASH 8.12 and 12.12 have several features to protect them against short-circuits or polarity inversions. They have an anti-spark feature which prevents sparks whilst connecting the device to the battery. This charger has double insulation and is compatible with vehicle’s onboard electronics. The GYSFLASH is tted with an integrated temperature probe that ensures that the charging current is adapted to the ambient temprature to prevent internal electronics’ overheating. TROUBLESHOOTING Symptoms Causes Remedies The indicator blinks.• Polarity inversion • Battery voltage is too high • Clamps in short-circuit• Check that the clamps are properly connected.• Check that it is a 12V battery. The indicator is on.Charge failure, battery non recoverable.Change the battery and press to restart a charge. The indicator stays on even after pres-sing the button.Thermal protection.Ambient temperature is too high (>50°C), cool the room and let the charger cool down. The indicator blinks.Charger in sleep mode.Press the button or connect a battery to the charger to exit sleep mode. The indicator stays on.Charge interrupted by pressing the button.Press again to restart the charge.
