GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The chargers TCB 60, TCB 90 and TCB 120 are designed to charge lead acid batteries with liquid or gel electrolyte, nominal voltage from 12V, and with capacity according to the following table:

	Minimum Maximum
TCB 60 10 Ah	60 Ah
TCB 90 15 Ah	90 Ah
TCB 120 30 Ah	120 Ah

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
green: >12.6V :charged

CONNECTION IN CHARGER FUNCTION

Preliminary precautions

• For indoor use, with good ventilation.
• Remove the battery caps if there is, and check the level of liquid. If it is not correct, filled 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 first 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 230V50 / 60Hz 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 finished.
  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 finish the loading 100% . With that function « floating », you can leave the battery connected to your product unlimitedly without any risk.
• The charger detects a battery with a voltage above 4V .

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 1/4 h).

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.
