GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ARTIC 4000 charger is ideal to charge most lead-acid batteries (sealed or non sealed), often used in cars and many other vehicles. The ARTIC can be used safely for : GEL (gel electrolyte), AGM (Absorbant Glass Mat), WET, MF (Maintenance Free), CA (Calcium)... The ARTIC 4000 is designed to charge :- 6V batteries (3 x 2V elements) from 8 Ah to 70 Ah and up to 130 Ah for maintenance charge,- 12V batteries (6 x 2V elements) from 2 Ah to 70 Ah and up to 130 Ah for maintenance charge. 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). The display shows the battery voltage.3. Select the mode by pressing button , the charge starts automatically.

4. During the charge, the device indicates the voltage and the charge progress using the symbol . When the battery is

fully charged, the symbol is displayed.5. The charge can be interrupted at any time by unplugging the mains plug or pressing the button.6. After the charge, disconnect the charger from the mains, then disconnect the charger’s connections from the battery. CHARGE MODES

• Modes description : CHARGE mode «SLOW» 12V (14.4 V / 1 A) :This mode limits the charging current to 1 A to safely charge small batteries. Activate this option to charge small batteries (< 15 Ah).CHARGE mode «FAST» 12V (14.4 V / 4 A) :This mode is designed for lead-acid batteries, 12V from 15 Ah to 70 Ah and up to 130 Ah for oating charge.CHARGE mode 12V COLD option (14.7 V / 4 A) :This mode 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.CHARGE mode 6V (7.5 V / 4 A) :This mode is designed for lead-acid batteries, 6V from 8 Ah to 70 Ah and up to 130 Ah for oating charge.

Translation of the original instructions TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting Causes Solutions

• Short-circuit. • Open circuit. • Polarity reversal• Make sure that there is no power consumption (normal or abnormal) in the vehicle circuit. • Check that the clamps are properly connected. • After following these steps, if the indicator still does not light up, the sulfated/damaged battery must be replaced. Unplug clamps or terminals during the charge.Reconnect the charger to the battery.

Battery voltage too high. Check that the selected voltage matches the battery voltage (6, 12 or 24V).

Battery is faulty or has a very low voltage.Change the battery. WARRANTY The warranty covers faulty workmanship for 2 years from the date of purchase (parts and labour). The warranty does not cover:
