• If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or an equally qualified person.

• 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.

• Clean the device’s surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Réglementation :

• The device complies with European Directive.

• The certificate of compliance is available on our website.

• EAC conformity mark (Eurasian Economic Commission) Mise au rebut :

Translation of the original instructions DESCRIPTION OF THE CHARGER (FIG I, PAGE 36) The chargers CT 160 and CT 210 are designed to charge lead acid batteries with liquid electrolyte, nominal voltage from 12V, and with capacity according to the table II, page 41. 1 – Ammeter 5 – Fuse 2 – Battery voltage selector 6 – cables + clamps 3 – Battery capacity selector 7 – handle (CT 210 only) 4 – Main switch 8 – Power supply (CT160 : xed / CT210 : removable) CHARGER MODE Preliminary precautions

• For indoor use, with good ventilation. Protect the charger from rain and moisture.

• 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. Do not charge the battery when it is connected on the vehicle. Connection and disconnection

• Disconnect from the battery all electronic system during the charge (do not charge the battery when it is connected on the car).

• Plug in your charger to 230 V 50/60 Hz mains supply.

• 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.

• Choose the charge voltage (12 / 24V) and the charge speed (normal or boost). The « Boost » function allows charging a battery quickly. Control and end of the charge process

• These are traditional chargers; the charge process must be stopped manually.

• The ammeter is a charge indicator. When the current drops down to 0, the battery charge is ending. You can stop the charge process. In normal mode, it takes about 10 hrs to fully charge a battery. If the ammeter is not at the minimum after this period, check the charge mode and voltage or have the battery checked by a professional.

• Do not let the charger connected more than 24 Hours on a battery.

• After charging, disconnect the battery charger from main supply. Then remove the chassis connection and the battery connection, in this order. PROTECTIONS Your product has been developed with a maximum of protections:

• The clamps of the battery are isolated.

• The polarity reversal will not cause danger. The protection is insured by an automotive fuse, which must be changed in case of polarity error. Respect the rating of the fuse, which is indicated on the charger.

• This device is protected by an internal fuse to avoid any risk in case of damage to the charger.

• (CT160 : 1,6A – CT210 : 2A)

• Thermal protection: the transformer of the product is protected by a thermal switch. If the charger is used intensively, it may switch in thermal protection mode (cooling time about 15min), and then resume the charge.9 CT 160 / 210

Translation of the original instructions TROUBLESHOOTING Symptoms Causes Remedies The ON/OFF button does not switch on when set to ON. No mains voltage Check that the power cord is plugged to a 230V 50/60Hz socket. Check the power supply network. The machine's anmeter does not uctuate . Power supply problem. Check your mains power supply. Clamps in short circuit or polarity reversal. Check that the fuses have not melted and that the circuit breaker is not tripped The battery that you are trying to charge is faulty. Check the terminals' voltage with a voltmeter. If this voltage jumps instantaneously to 2.5V per element, the battery may be sulfated or damaged. Voltage error (12 -24V) Chck that the switch is on the right setting (12 or 24V) Following intensive use, your device has entered thermal protection mode. Wait 1/4h so the device can cool down. 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 anmeter's pin goes above the maximum marking while the device is set to minimum intensity. The battery is deeply discharged. Keep charging using the minimum setting . Voltage error (12 -24V) Chck that the switch is on the right setting (12 or 24V) Your battery has elements in short circuit. Damaged battery Replace the battery. 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 The machine is charging a 12V battery in 24V mode Set the switch to 12V. WARRANTY The warranty covers faulty workmanship for 2 years from the date of purchase (parts and labour). The warranty does not cover:

• Damages due to misuse (power supply error, dropping of equipment, disassembling).

• Environment related failures (pollution, rust, dust). In case of failure, return the unit to your distributor together with: - The proof of purchase (receipt etc ...) - A description of the fault reported10 CT 160 / 210
