GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ENERGY STATION FP is an autonomous starter (supplied without batteries) designed specically for starting vehicles tted with a 12 - 24 V battery. This trolley can be used to set up one or two 12 V batteries (6 x 2 V cells) with a capacity of up to 375 Ah each. The appliance includes a 12 V / 30 A battery charger to charge the lead batteries present on the trolley (alternately) as well as to charge an external battery. It also has a battery testing function. To guarantee the correct functioning of the equipment and to preserve the life of the batteries on the trolley, it is imper- ative to connect the ENERGY STATION FP to the mains supply after each use.

INTERNAL BATTERIES AND CHARGING CLAMPS

23 cm45 cm53 cm Two ‘internal’ batteries (not included) must be tted before using the unit: 12 V, lead-acid batteries with a capacity of 100 - 375 Ah each. Their size should not exceed 45 x 53 x 23 cm and the total max. weight is 100 kg. To install them:

• Disconnect the power lead or set the ON/OFF switch to the ‘0’ position.

• Attach the four supplied battery terminals to the four cables.

• Connect the batteries to the ENERGY STATION FP ensuring correct polarity: - the red cable to the positive (+) battery terminal - the black cable to the negative (-) battery terminal 12 V 12 V BATTERY TEST

• Unplug the power cable or set the ON/OFF switch to ‘OFF’.EN

Translation of the original instructions

• Press the test button (test one or two batteries depending on the batteries connected). - Green indicator light: battery charged (> 12.8 V). Start-up is possible. - Orange indicator light: battery is partially charged (voltage between 12.4 -12.8 V). We strongly rec- ommend recharging the batteries before using the machine. However, it is possible to start a vehicle.

• Red indicator light: battery is discharged (voltage < 12.4 V). Unable to start.

• No indicator light: Battery very deeply discharged or no battery is detected (< 4 V). Unable to start. The test is only valid if the battery (or batteries) has been idle for at least 15 minutes. STARTER FUNCTION 12 V Mode For starting with 12 V, only one battery can be tted to the trolley. In this case, the one battery must be positioned on the right side (when viewed from behind) in order to be connected to the device’s negative (-) terminal.

• Unplug the mains lead (battery charged beforehand).

• Set the battery switch to the ‘OFF’ position. 12V BATTERY 2

• Connect the cables to the ENERGY STATION FP’s 12 V output (red cable to the 12 V outlet, black cable to the battery’s negative [-] terminal).

• Connect the red clamp to the battery’s positive (+) terminal and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal (if the polarity is reversed, this will be indicated by the Energy Station; a warning buzzer will sound and the red LED indicator light will light up

• Switch the battery switch to the ‘ON’ position.

• Go to the vehicle control station and turn the ignition key. If the engine will not start, wait three minutes between each start-up attempt (each start-up attempt should last no longer than six seconds max.). - If the recommended time between each test is not respected (3 minutes) or if the test time is too long (> 6 seconds), the likelihood of starting the vehicle is reduced (risk of power loss). - There is a risk of acid leakage and damage to the internal battery if the recommended times are not observed. - If the vehicle still does not start, there may be a problem other than a bad battery: a faulty alternator or glow plug, etc.

• Switch the battery switch to the ‘OFF’ position.

• Recharge the batteries after use (see charger section).16 Operating manual

OPERATING THE CHARGER

Charging the ENERGY STATION FP’s internal batteries Fitted with a 12 V / 30 A charger, the two internal batteries are recharged one at a time by alternating 30-minute charging cycles. Connect the batteries to be charged. Connect the charger to the 230 V (50 - 60 Hz) mains supply. Set the battery switch to the ‘OFF’ position. Set the switch to the ‘ON’ position. Charging will start automatically. During the charging process, the device will indicate the state of progress. If recharging only one battery (e.g. in the case of a 12 V start up), disconnect one of the two internal batteries. The recharging time will be much faster.EN

Translation of the original instructions Being a 12 V charger, the ENERGY STATION FP alternately charges each battery individually for 30 minutes. Any manipulation of the batteries during the charging process is strongly discouraged (re- placing batteries or readjusting the polarities if they have been inverted, etc.). If carrying out an operation on one of the two batteries is absolutely necessary, disconnect the product from the mains supply, carry out the operation and then reconnect it. Lead load curve

ANOMALIES, CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS

Anomalies Causes Solutions STARTER MODE The device beeps and the red LED indicator light turns on. The device has detected a polarity inversion. Check the batteries’ polarity. Red clamp to the positive (-) battery terminal and black clamp to the negative (-) terminal. at 24 V Polarity OK. Battery too weak (< 11 V). Vehicle’s battery is faulty and needs to be replaced. Non-insulated clamps have come into contact with water. Check the clamps’ condition and change them if necessary. However, it is possible to start a vehicle. Sparks emitted when the clamps come into contact with the battery. The battery switch is in the ‘ON’ position. Set the battery switch to the ‘OFF’ position before connecting the clamps to the battery. The voltage selector is in the wrong position. Check that the vehicle’s voltage corresponds to the selected voltage. Switching the polarities. Check the batteries’ polarity. The device can no longer start the vehicle. Internal battery voltage is very low. They may be damaged. Put the appliance back on charge in an at- tempt to restore the batteries. Fuse has burned out. Check / replace the fuse. CHARGING MODE The LED indicator lights are flashing at the same time. Internal battery (or batteries) is not properly connected. Wire up the battery (or batteries). The battery (or batteries) is in reverse polarity. Check polarity. The battery (or batteries) is deeply discharged (< 2 V). Internal battery (or batteries) is not working. The two LED indicator lights are permanently on. Charger’s thermal protection. The charger has overheated because the am- bient temperature is too high. It will automati- cally resume charging when the temperature has dropped sufficiently. An indicator light is on. Charging time is too long. Internal battery is not working. The indicator lights are flashing. The battery voltage is too high. Check the wiring.
