• Disconnect the power supply before connecting/disconnecting the device to/from the battery.10 TCB 60 / 90 / 120

Translation of the original instructions

• The terminal of the battery that is not connected to the car frame must be connected first. The other connection must be made on the car frame, far from the battery and the fuel line. The battery charger must be connected to the power supply network.

• After the charging process, disconnect the battery charger from the power supply network and remove the connector from the car frame and then the connector from the battery, in this order. Connection:

• This machine is fuse-protected. Maintenance:

• If the power supply cable is damaged, it must only be replaced by a cable specified or supplied by the manufacturer or its after-sales service.

• Service should be performed by a qualified person.

• Warning! Always remove the power plug from the wall socket before carrying out any work on the device.

• If the internal fuse is blown, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or an equally qualified person.

• Regularly take off the cover and remove dust with an air gun. Take the opportunity to have a qualified person check the electrical connections with an insulated tool.

• Under no circumstances should solvents or other aggressive cleaning agents be used.11 TCB 60 / 90 / 120

OPERATING MODE WITH TESTER FUNCTION

When it is not connected to the mains supply, this charger is a battery tester. It lets you know the state of the battery. The integrated voltmeter informs you by three LEDs:

• red : <12.3V : battery to be charged

• orange : between 12.3 and 12.6V : middle charge

• For indoor use, with good ventilation.

• Remove the battery caps if there is, and check the level of liquid. If it is not correct, lled up with distilled water. Clean well the battery terminals.

• Check if the battery capacity and voltage are compatible with your charger. Connection and disconnection

• Connect the clamps (+ red, - black) to + and - battery terminals, making sure you get a good electric contact, respecting the following order.

• Connect rst the battery terminal not connected to the chassis of the vehicle.

• Then connect the other connection to the chassis remote from the battery and any fuel line (to limit the risk of ignition of petrol vapor at the appearance of an electric arc can result from accidental disconnection in charge of the clamp).

• Select the charge speed with the front switch

• At last, plug in your charger to 230 V 50/60 Hz mains supply.

• After charging, disconnected the battery charger from supply mains. Then remove the chassis connection and the battery connection, in this order. Current selection Depending on the capacity of the battery of the vehicle, select the current position: Position Minimum Maximum TCB 60 2 A 10 Ah 30 Ah 4 A 20 Ah 60 Ah TCB 90 2 A 15 Ah 30 Ah 5,5 A 30 Ah 90 Ah TCB 120 3,5 A 20 Ah 60 Ah 7 A 35 Ah 120 Ah Charge process

• The green light «POWER» above the fuse indicates AC power connection.

• The orange light indicates that the charge is in progress.

• The green LED lights when the charge is nished.

• If the green LED is not lighting after quite a long time, check the front fuse after switching off your product. If it still does not work, please check the battery by a professional.

• This product can charge automatically one battery with its rated loading current, and then continue with a moderate speed to nish the loading 100%. With that function « oating », you can leave the battery connected to your product unlimitedly without any risk.

• The charger detects a battery with a voltage above 4 V. PROTECTIONS Your product has been developed with a maximum of protections.

• The clamps of the battery charger are isolated, and there is no voltage on the clamp as long as the battery is not connected.

• The polarity reversal will not cause danger. In case of polarity error a buzzer sounds.

• Your charger is protected against over current that can occur with faulty batteries or false use of the product by the front fuse.

• Thermal protection: the transformer of the product is protected by a thermal switch (cooling: about ¼ h).13 TCB 60 / 90 / 120

SULPHATED BATTERIES - START

• If your battery is sulfated, the green LED of your charger will light very quickly, as if the battery was charged. Change your battery.

• Do not leave your charger plugged on your car when you start it. It can break the fuse. Do not use your charger like an auxiliary power supply. It is forbidden to pull up current from the battery when the battery is connected to the charger. TROUBLESHOOTING Symptoms Causes Remedies The mains indicator does not switch on even after plugging the machine to the mains No mains voltage Check that the power cord is plugged to a 230V 50/60Hz socket. Check the power supply network. None of the indicators that indicate the state of charge are switching on No mains voltage Check that the power cord is plugged to a 230V 50/60Hz socket. Check the power supply network. Clamps in short circuit or polarity reversal. Remove the clamps. Check that the fuses have not melted and that the circuit breaker is not tripped The charger is properly connected but it does not charge the battery Blown fuse Replace the fuse by a new one. Bad clamp connections. Clean the terminals and the clamps. Check the state of the cables and clamps. Wrong charge settings Check that the selected voltage matches the battery voltage. Following intensive use, your device has entered thermal protection mode. Wait 1/4h so the device can cool down. The fuse blows every time it is replaced Polarity reversal Connect the + clamp to the battery's (+) and the + clamp to the battery's (-). Starting the vehicle Do not perform any starts when the charger is connected. Wrong charge settings Check that the selected voltage matches the battery voltage. Current overconsumption on the battery Do not draw any of the battery's current during the charge After charging for a whole day, the end of charge indicator does not switch on. The battery is damaged 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:
