DIGITAL DISPLAY
6.3.1. A/V button: The A/V selector button selects voltage or current display or allows the user to change the display language.
Pressing the A/V button toggles from voltage display U to current display A and finally the Language menu. This menu will show the
message "LANGUAGE = ITALIAN" or another language, depending on the selection.
6.3.2. Change Display Language
To enter the language selection mode, press the A/V button and hold it down when the display is showing the message "LANGUAGE =
ITALIAN". The language setting is Italian by default; to scroll the language menu press the A/V button again and the language shown will
change instantly. Languages supported: • Italian • English.
Once the language is set, to quit the menu press the A/V button for a few seconds.

OPERATING MODES
7.1.
FUNCTIONS
Note: All modes support both 12V and 24V batteries (voltages stated for 12V batteries).
7.1.1. CHARGE MODE
Battery charging mode. Provides 11 charging steps as described below:
• STEP 1: Analysis 1: If the battery output is less than 10.5V the unit proceeds with the next analysis. Outputs below 5V will cause the
charger to revert to stand-by.
• STEP 2: Analysis 2 (sulphated battery): The display shows the message "ANALYSIS" alternating with the instantaneous voltage or
current. After this step the unit either starts the charging cycle directly or it displays the message "SULPHATED BATTERY" to inform
the operator that the battery must be recovered.
• STEP 3: Desulphation: Pulsed voltage to prevent sulphation of the battery.
• STEP 4: Controlled current: Charges the battery up to the programmed limit value.
• STEP 5: Analysis 3 (elements short circuited): Checks whether the battery has short circuited elements or is damaged and
Reports the error, if present.
• STEP 6: Deep Cycle Charging: Central charging cycle.
• STEP 7: Constant Voltage: Keeps the battery at the charging end voltage.
• STEP 8: Analysis 4:. Checks whether the battery has short circuited elements or is damaged and reports the error, if present.
• STEP 9: Trickle charging: Maintains the battery at 13.8V (WET) or 13.5V (AGM/SPIRAL CELL).
• STEP 10: Analysis 5: Checks whether the battery has short circuited elements or is damaged and reports the error, if present.
• STEP 11: Pulsed current cycle: Cycle that simulates the normal life cycle of the battery.
7.1.2. START MODE
To start a vehicle with a flat battery, this mode consists of the following steps:
• STEP 1: Battery analysis: The charger's Start LED flashes.
• STEP 2: Fast Charging: The charger enters this step if the Start LED is steadily on. It sets the charge end voltage associated with the
selected battery type with the current limit defined for the Start step.
• STEP 3: Engine Boost: When the battery charger detects an engine cranking attempt, it switches to the next step. If the battery
Voltage reading is above 13.5V the scrolling message START appears on the display.
• STEP 4: Boost: The scrolling message START appears on the display: the battery charger is now delivering the maximum power.
7.1.3. SUPPLY MODE
Power supply mode to assist in vehicle programming. This mode does not contain any charging steps, and it consists exclusively
Of a stabilised power supply delivering the nominal battery voltage. The purpose is that of supplying current to support the battery to
prevent it from being drained during operations that require power for short or long periods.
7.1.4. RECOVERY MODE
WARNING: because of the high voltage reached during this cycle, the battery recovery process MUST be performed with the battery
‰
disconnected and removed from the vehicle. Recovery with the battery connected to the vehicle may result in damage to the
vehicle's electronics. This is the method of recovery for sulphated batteries accessible by means of a prolonged press of 3 seconds of
the Function button.
The screen displays the message RECOVERY alternating with the instantaneous voltage or current reading; during this step the
Charge LED flashes. The charger performs a special charging cycle in which higher than average voltages are forced to attempt
recovery of the battery. In this mode no error messages are generated during the charging cycle.
At the end of the cycle a message is displayed to indicate whether or not the battery has been recovered on the basis of the current
absorption.
