- Lay the cables so that they cannot be damaged by the doors or the bonnet.
Crushed cables can lead to serious injury.
CAUTION!
- Lay the cables so that they cannot be tripped over or damaged.
2.3 Operating the device safely
DANGER! Danger of electrocution
- Do not touch exposed cables with your bare hands. This applies especially when operating the device from the AC mains.
- To be able to disconnect the device quickly from the mains, the socket must be close to the device and be easily accessible.
CAUTION!
- Do not operate the device
– In salty, wet or damp environments - In the vicinity of corrosive fumes
– In the vicinity of combustible materials
– In areas where there is a danger of explosions.
- Before starting the device, ensure that the power supply line and the plug are dry.
- Always disconnect the power supply when working on the device.
- Please observe that parts of the device may still conduct voltage even if the fuse has blown.
- Do not disconnect any cables when the device is still in use.
NOTICE!
- Ensure good ventilation.
2.4 Safety precautions when handling batteries
WARNING!
- Batteries contain aggressive and caustic acids. Avoid battery fluid coming into contact with your body. If your skin does come into contact with battery fluid, wash the part of your body in question thoroughly with water.
If you sustain any injuries from acids, contact a doctor immediately.
CAUTION!
- When working on the batteries, do not wear any metal objects such as watches or rings.
Lead acid batteries can cause short circuits which can cause serious injuries.
• Danger of explosions!
Never attempt to charge a frozen or defective battery.
Place the battery in a frost-free area and wait until the battery has acclimatised to the ambient temperature. Then start the charging process.
- Wear goggles and protective clothing when you work on batteries.
Do not touch your eyes when you are working on the battery.
- Do not smoke and ensure that no sparks can arise in the vicinity of the engine or battery.
NOTICE!
- Only use rechargeable batteries.
- Prevent any metal parts from falling on the battery. This can cause sparks or short-circuit the battery and other electrical parts.
- Make sure the polarity is correct when connecting the battery.
- Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer and those of the manufacturer of the system or vehicle in which the battery is used.
- If you need to remove the battery, first disconnect the earth connection. Disconnect all connections and all consumers from the battery before removing it.
3 S c o p e o f d
Item in fig. 1, page 3 Meaning
1 Battery conditioner
2 Adapter cable with battery terminals
4 P r o p e r u s
The battery conditioner is suitable for the following uses:
- Charging device for lead batteries with a capacity of between 10 Ah and 30 Ah.
- M B C C 1 0 0 : 1 2 V b a t t e r y
- M B C C 2 0 0 : 6 V b a t t e r y
- Conditioning: Cyclic charging and discharging means that batteries with a capacity of 10 – 150 Ah are subject to a continuous forming process.
- Back-up power supply: when changing the starter battery, all volatile memories (on-board computer, vehicle clock, radio code, etc.) lose the data stored. The battery conditioner can keep these volatile memories supplied with a voltage. The stored data is then retained.
5 Technical description
If the battery conditioner is connected properly, the battery starts either charging or discharging, depending on its charging status.
During the charging phase, the battery is supplied with a constant charging current until the final charging voltage has been attained. In the subsequent charging phase, the charging current decreases as the charging status of the battery increases.
When the battery is fully charged, the device switches to the discharge phase. As the discharge current is only approx. 50 mA, this process can last many times longer than the charging process, depending on the battery capacity.
When the lowest charging voltage has been reached, the charging process is started automatically.
This sequence is repeated cyclically. The constant change between charging and discharging reduces the effect of ageing on the battery.
5.1 Display elements
Item in fig. 1, page 3
LED Meaning
3 Yellow "Charging": battery is being charged.
4 Green "Discharging": battery is discharging.
5 Red "Incorrect polarity": the battery has been connected with the incorrect polarity. ▶Please disconnect the battery from the battery conditioner.
3 + 4 Green and yellow The connection has been broken.
▶Check the connection to the battery.
▶If possible, try to make a direct connection to the battery using the adapter cable.
The fuse in the plug is defective.
Reversing the polarity of the connection terminals will cause the fuse to blow in the 12/6 V plug.
▶Replace the fuse.
6 Starting the battery conditioner
NOTICE!
Set up the device in a location where it is protected against moisture and moist air.
Ensure that
- The installation location is well ventilated and
- The mounting surface is flat and sufficiently firm.
NOTE
On some vehicles, the 12/6 V socket only works when the ignition is switched on.
In this case, connect the battery conditioner direct to the battery.
▶Check that the battery is in good condition.
▶Check the following:
– The battery housing for damage
- The fluid level in the battery
If necessary refill the battery with distilled water.
- The pole contacts
Clean off any dirt present.
- Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter: It should not be below 9 V (MBCC100) or 4.5 V (MBCC200).
If the voltage is less than 9 V (12 V batteries) or 4.5 V (6 V batteries) a cell may be defective. In such a case, the battery is defective and may not be recharged.
▶Switch the vehicle ignition off.
▶ Plug the charging plug (fig. 2 1, page 3) of the battery conditioner into the 12/6 V=== socket (e.g the cigarette lighter) or
▶ ... connect the adapter cable (fig. 2 2, page 3) to the battery terminals on the battery (fig. 2 3, page 3):
- Positive terminal of the battery: red cable
- Negative terminal of the battery: black cable
NOTE
If the red "Incorrect Polarity" LED (fig. 1 5, page 3) glows when connecting to the 12/6 V= socket, you need to connect the device directly to the battery using the adapter cable (fig. 2 2, page 3).
▶ Plug the power cable of the battery conditioner into a 230 V/50 Hz socket.
Ending use of the battery conditioner
▶First disconnect the connections to the battery.
