GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe CA 150 and CA 360 chargers are designed for charging 12V and 24V lead acid battery with liquid electrolyte 3 from 5 to 150Ah (CA 150) or from 40 to 350Ah (CA 360).OPERATINGThe CA 150 and CA 360 are traditional chargers.The CA 150 is an automatic charger which can be left connected unsupervised.The CA 360 is both automatic and manual. Charging a battery on the manual position requires monitoring and for the charge to be stopped manually. It is able to charge without any voltage limitation to recover a discharged battery or to perform fast charge (high current for a short period).

1. Make sure to disconnect the charger from the battery, set the on/o switch on the « o » position.

2. Connect the charger’s red clamp to the battery’s positive terminal.

3. Connect the charger’s black clamp to the battery’s negative terminal.

4. Select the voltage output (CA360 only) et the charging speed (CA150 and CA360) on the charger.

5. Set the charger’s on/o switch on the “on” position

ADVICE◊ Connection and disconnectionDisconnect from the battery all electronic system during the charge (do not charge the battery when it is connectedon the car) (CA 360 in manual mode only).◊ StartingDo not start the vehicle with the charger connected to the battery. This will blow the fuse.◊ ProblemsA quick charge can cause problems: - The fuse blows and stops the charge. - The OK light indicator is on but without the battery being charged, it starts and stops regularly. In this case restart the charger after selecting the slowest charging mode available.10 CA 150 / 360

Translation of the original instructions ◊ Thermal protection The charger is tted with a thermostat. If it gets too hot, the charger will stop working. Place the unit in a ventilated room, wait until it cools down to turn the charger on (wait 10-20 minutes) ◊ Fuse The fuse will protect the unit in the following instances: - Polarity reversal or clamps in short-circuit. - Starting the vehicle whilst the battery is connected to the charger. - Charging current is in boost mode for too long or too high and above the nominal current in standard charge mode. In case of a fuse break, disconnect the clamps from the battery, switch the unit o, change the fuse, set the charger to the minimum charge output available and reconnect everything as instructed above.

Such batteries may be identied if the ammeter needle does not (stays at 0) or if the charger stops quickly when in automatic mode. In this event, set the charger to “Manual” (CA 360), set the charger on the fastest charging speed and monitor it every hour. If the needle still hasn’t moved after 5 hours, the battery cannot be recovered. 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.11 CA 150 / 360

Translation of the original instructions 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. After charging for a whole day, the end of charge indicator does not switch on. The charger is still in manual mode Switch to automatic mode The battery is damaged Change the battery. The machine is charging a 24V battery in 12V mode Set the switch to 24V. 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 reported12 CA 150 / 360
