START UP 1. Connect the charger to the battery using the proper accessory (clamps, lugs, etc...).2. Plug the charger to the mains (single phase 220-240Vac 50-60Hz). 3. Charger operation :Button Action Selection LEDlong press (3 s) Change mode.Lead-acid Lithiumshort pressChange the charging current and access the AGM option in Lead mode. In Lead-acid mode: 1 A

In Lithium mode: 4 A

4. After about ve seconds without pressing the button, charging starts automatically.5. During the charge, the device indicates the charge progress.When the light ashes, the battery is ready to start the engine. Once the indicator stays on, the battery is completely charged.6. Charging can be stopped at any time by unplugging the mains plug or by pressing the button .7. After the charge is complete, disconnect the charger from the mains, then disconnect the clamps from the battery. CHARGE MODES - Description of Modes and Options: CHARGE mode Lead (14.4V / 1A - 8A) : Mode designed for lead-acid batteries, 12V from 15Ah to 160Ah and up to 240Ah for oating charge. Automatic seven step charge cycle.COLD/AGM Option (14.7 V) :Modies the charging voltage at 14.7V to charge the battery during cold weather (Less than 5°C) or for some AGM batteries or batteries with caps.Charge mode Lithium (14.4V / 4A - 8A) : Mode designed for 12V Lithium batteries, from 1.2Ah to 160Ah and up to 240Ah for oating charge. Auto- matic charging cycle in eight steps.Some Lithium batteries incorporate a UVP protection (Under Voltage Protection) which dis-connects the battery in case of deep discharge. This protection prevents the charger from detecting the battery. In order for the Gysash 8.12 PL to be able to charge the battery, the UVP protection must be deactivated. To do this, set the charger to Lithium charging mode and then unplug it. Press the button while plugging the Gysash back in and hold it down for 5 seconds after the charger is turned on. The charger will then deactivate the UVP protection and automatically start charging.EN

Charging current: Selection designed to choose the most suited charging current based on the type and size of the battery (lead-acid or lithium). Charging current 1 A 4 A 8 A Battery capacity Pb 15 50Ah - 50 160Ah LFP - 1.2 20Ah 20 160Ah (36 60Ah EqPb*) (60 480Ah EqPb*) *Lead-acid battery equivalent : Lithium batteries have better starting performance (CCA) than lead-acid batteries. This is why some lithium battery manufacturers indicate the lead battery equivalent (EqPb) corresponding to the capacity of a lead-acid battery with the same starting performance. For instance, a 10Ah LFP battery will have approximately the same starting performance as a 30 Ah lead-acid battery.

If the motorcycle is equipped with a 12V socket, the GYSFLASH 8.12 PL is able to charge the battery via this socket with the CAN-BUS system, without having to switch on the dashboard. In this setup, connect the cigratte lighter adapter (ref. 077331) on the charger and the 12 V socket of the motorcycle and then follow the «Start-up» procedure detailed above. In some cases, charging may not start until 2 minutes after the connections have been made. - Protections : The GYSFLASH 8.12 PL has comprehensive safety features to protect it against short-circuits and polarity rever- sals. It has an anti-spark feature which prevents sparks whilst connecting the device to the battery. This charger has double insulation and is safe to use with the battery in situ as it will protect the vehicle’s on-board electronics. The GYSFLASH 8.12 PL is tted with an integrated temperature sensor that ensures that the charging current is adapted to the ambient temperature to prevent internal the electronics from overheating.EN
