Children must no play with the product. Cleaning and maintenance should not be performed by unsupervised children. Do not use to charge small batteries or non rechargeable batteries. Do not operate the device with a damaged power supply cord or a damaged mains plug. Do not use the device if the charging cable appears to be damaged or assembled incorrectly in order to avoid any risk of short circuiting the battery. The operating mode of the automatic charger and the restrictions applicable to its use are explained below in this manual. Fire and explosion risks! A charging battery can emit explosive gases.

• During the charge, the battery must be placed in a well ventilated area.

• Avoid flames and sparks. Do not smoke. Connection / disconnection:

• Ensure that the charger’s power supply is disconnected before plugging or unplugging the connections on the battery.

• Always ensure the Red clamp is connected to the «+» battery terminal first. If it is necessary to connect the black clamp to the vehicle chassis, make sure it is a safe distance from the battery and the fuel/exhaust pipe. The charger must be connected to the mains.

• After charging, disconnect the charger from the mains, then disconnect the clamp from the car body and then disconnect the clamp from the battery, in the indicated order. Connection:

• The connection to the power supply must be carried out in compliance with national standards.7 GYSFLASH 6.12

• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales service or an equally qualified person to prevent danger. Regulations:

• Machine compliant with European directives.

• The certificate of compliance is available on our website.

• EAC Conformity marking (Eurasian Economic Community)

• Equipment in compliance with British requirements. The British Declaration of Conformity is available on our website (see home page).

• Equipment in conformity with Moroccan standards.

• The declaration Cم (CMIM) of conformity is available on our website (see cover page). Waste management:

• This product should be disposed of at an appropriate recycling facility. Do not throw away in a domestic bin. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The GYSFLASH 6.12 is ideal to charge most lead-acid batteries, often used for cars and many other vehicles. These batteries can be of many types eg: GEL (gel electrolyte), AGM (absorbed glass mat), WET, MF (Maintenance Free), CA (Calcium)... This charger has been designed to charge 12V batteries (6*2V elements) from 1.2 Ah to 125 Ah, or for oating charge up to 170 Ah. START UP 1. Connect the charger to the battery using the proper accessory (clamps, lugs, etc...).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.

• Modes and Options: CHARGE mode (14.4V/0.8A) :Mode designed for lead-acid batteries, 12V from 1.2 Ah to 15Ah. 8 step automatic maintenance cycle. CHARGE mode (14.4V/6A) : Mode designed for lead-acid batteries, 12V from 15 Ah to 125 Ah and up to 170 Ah for oating charge. 8 step auto- matic maintenance cycle.COLD/AGM Option (14.7V) :Modies the charging voltage at 14.7V to charge the battery during cold weather (Less than 5°C) or for some AGM batteries or batteries with caps.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.8 GYSFLASH 6.12

• Charging curve : The GYSFLASH 6.12 use an 8 step 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 ( 0.8A 6A)Fast charge with maximum current that can reach 80% charge level.Step : Recovery ( 0.5A 3A)Damaged elements recovery due to an extended deep discharge algorithm.Step : Absorption (14.4V or 14.7V with /AGM option)Constant voltage charge to reach a 100% charge level.Step : TestSulfated battery test.Step : Refresh (option 15.8V) If the refresh option has been 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 small amount of water.Step : Desulfation ( 15.8V)Battery desulfation algorithm.Step : Floating charge (13.6V)Maintains battery charge level at its maximum.

• Estimated charge time Battery capacity 2Ah 8Ah 15Ah 20Ah 50Ah 125Ah Charging time 20% >>> 80% 2h 6h 11h 3h 6h 14h If the motorbike is tted with a 12V plug, the GYSFLASH 6.12 can charge the battery via this plug with the CAN-BUS system, without switching the dashboard on. In this setup, connect the cigarette lighter adapter on the charger and on the motorbike’s 12V socket then follow the «start up » procedure on the previous page. In certain cases, it is possible that the charge will only start 2 minutes after performing the connections.
• Protections : The GYSFLASH 6.12 has several features to protect it against short-circuits or polarity inversion. It has 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 6.12 is tted with an integrated temperature probe that ensures that the charging current is adapted to the ambient temprature to prevent internal electronics’ overheating.9 GYSFLASH 6.12

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.
