GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Batium range is designed to charge all common batteries including lead-acid , electrolyte or gel batteries.

Fill it up if necessary, before starting the charge.

1. Connect the clamps : Red clamp to the battery's (+) and black clamp to the battery's (-).

2. Connect the charger to the mains on a 230 V socket. An indicator

switches on that matches the latest saved data.

3. Select the battery voltage (6, 12, 24 V) according to the recommendations

features on the battery or according to the battery coupling (series or parallel cf p.44). Risk of explosion or acid projections if the wrong voltage is selected (24V for a 12V battery). To conrm the selec- tion, do not press any button for 5 seconds.

4. Select the battery capacity. The Batium automatically determines the char-

indicated the charge is over. PROTECTIONS The Batiums are protected against short-circuits, polarity reversals and vehicle start (they maintain a constant charge even when the vehicle is started). It has an anti-spark feature which prevents sparks whilst connecting the Gysash to the battery. The Batium will not deliver current if there is no battery detected (no voltage in the clamps). TROUBLESHOOTING

ANOMALIES CAUSES SOLUTIONS

The charge indicator 1 is swit- ched o. The battery voltage indicators blink alternatively after 1 minute of charging. The selected voltage does not match the battery voltage. - Unplug the device from the mains while holding the clamps on the battery. - Reconnect the BATIUM to the mains supply. - Select the correct voltage within 5 seconds of reconnecting the product. The battery cannot be recovered. Change the battery.

The battery capacity indica- tors ash alternatively. The battery is in short circuit or damaged Change the battery. A power consumer has been left on accidentally (e.g. lights). Switch o the power consumer and continue/restart the charge The charger is used as a power supply to compensate for the use of power consumers that are drag- ging the battery's energy. Charger behaves normally but incorrect use. The indicator that signals the end of the charge cannot switch on. The battery capacity (Ah) is higher than the charger's The charging time will be abnormally long. If possible, use a more powerful charger Choose the capacity indicated on your battery. The battery voltage does not rise, the battery is damaged. Change the battery.BATIUM 7/12 • 7/24 • 15/12 • 15/24

The battery is connected. The charge indicator 1 does not switch on. The battery voltage indicators and bat- tery capacity indicators are switched on. Polarities + and – are reversed Put the red clamp at the + the black clamp at the - Bad clamp connections. Clean the terminals and reconnect the clamps. The battery is deeply discharged. Use the « forced charge » mode (see the procedure on the previous page) The fuse is melted. Disconnect the machine from the mains. Remove the clamps from the battery. Replace the fuse with regard to its size (15 A for a Batium 7-12 7-24 or 30 A for a Batium 15-12 and 15-24).

The indicator light «SOS Recovery» (Batium 15.12 et 15.24) ashes after one minute of charge. The battery has suered a deep discharge over a long period, with a start in sulfation. . The charge continues but it is recommended to switch to « SOS recovery ». Disconnect the machine from the mains, then the clamps. Activate the « SOS Recovery » mode, see the previous page.

SOS RECOVERY (Batium

15.12 / 15.24) : after 24

hours, the charge and end of charge indicators are swit- ched o. Battery cannot be recovered Battery to be replaced

Forced charge : After pressing the battery voltage button during 5 seconds to start the forced charge, the indicator does not switch on. Battery voltage < 0.5 V (± 0.3) Battery to be replaced

When connecting to the mains, no indicator switches
