Opsætning og tilslutning

1. Klargør batteriet: Ensure the battery terminals are clean and free of corrosion. If it's a serviceable battery, check fluid levels and top up with distilled water if necessary (do not overfill).
2. Vælg forbindelsesmetode:
   • Battery Clips: For temporary connection. Ensure a secure connection to the battery terminals.
   • Ringterminaler: For permanent connection. Attach the ring terminals to the battery posts and route the cable away from moving parts.
3. Tilslut til batteri:
   • Tilslut RØD (+) charger lead to the POSITIV (+) batteripol.
   • Tilslut SORT (-) charger lead to the NEGATIV (-) battery terminal. If charging a battery installed in a vehicle, connect the black lead to the vehicle chassis away from the battery and fuel line.
4. Tilslut til vekselstrøm: Plug the charger's AC power cord into a standard wall outlet (100-240V AC). The charger will automatically begin its diagnostic and charging process.

Betjeningsvejledning

The OptiMATE 7 Ampmatic operates automatically through a 9-step program. Once connected to the battery and AC power, it will initiate the charging process.

9-Step Charging Program Overview:

1. Step 1: Program Selection: Automatic selection for 12V batteries.
2. Step 2: Save (0.5V): Høj voltage desulphation mode for severely neglected batteries.
3. Step 3: Save (1.5V): Lav voltage desulphation mode.
4. Step 4: Save (2V): Pulse desulphation mode.
5. Trin 5: Ampmatic Charge: Bulk charge phase, current adjusted based on battery condition.
6. Trin 6: Absorption: Konstant voltage charge to ensure full charge.
7. Step 7: Cell Voltage-balancering: Optimizes individual cell voltage for new or deeply discharged batteries.
8. Step 8: Test: Checks battery charge retention and overall health.
9. Step 9: OptiMATE Maintenance: Float charge mode to maintain the battery at optimal voltage uden overopladning.

The charger's LEDs will indicate the current charging stage and battery status. Refer to the charger's label for specific LED interpretations.
