5. Opsætning og tilslutning
Follow these steps to safely connect your CTEK CT5 Time to Go charger to a battery:
- Klargør batteriet: Ensure the battery terminals are clean and free from corrosion. If the battery is in a vehicle, ensure the ignition is off and all electrical consumers are switched off.
- Tilslut til batteri:
- Tilslut den røde (positive, +) polamp or ring terminal to the battery's positive terminal.
- Tilslut den sorte (negative, -) polamp or ring terminal to the battery's negative terminal. If connecting to a vehicle battery, connect the negative clamp to the vehicle chassis away from the battery and fuel line, if recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Tilslut til stikkontakten: Plug the charger's AC power cord into a wall socket. The charger will perform a self-test.
- Vælg opladningsprogram: Press the 'MODE' button on the charger to select the appropriate charging program for your battery type (e.g., NORMAL, AGM, RECOND).

6. Betjeningsvejledning
Once connected and the program is selected, the CT5 Time to Go operates automatically through its 8-step charging cycle.
Opladningsprogrammer:
- NORMAL: For most lead-acid batteries (WET, MF, Ca/Ca, EFB, GEL).
- generalforsamling: For AGM batteries, which require a slightly higher charging voltage.
- FORTAGE: For reconditioning deeply discharged and stratified batteries. Use this mode sparingly and only when necessary.
Forstå skærmen:
- Tid til at gå: The LED indicators show the estimated time until the battery is fully charged (e.g., 8, 4, 2, 1 hours).
- Start Indicator: An LED will illuminate when the battery has sufficient charge to start a vehicle, even if not fully charged.
- Omsorg: Indicates the charger is in maintenance mode, keeping the battery at optimal charge.

8. Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your CTEK CT5 Time to Go charger, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Opladeren starter ikke | No AC power; poor connection to battery; battery voltage for lavt. | Check AC power outlet; ensure secure connections to battery terminals; if battery voltage is extremely low, it may require professional assessment. |
| Opladning tager for lang tid | Battery is deeply discharged or damaged; incorrect program selected; extreme temperatures. | Allow more time; ensure correct mode (e.g., RECOND for deeply discharged); charging efficiency can be affected by cold. |
| Error indicator lights up | Reverse polarity; short circuit; internal fault. | Check connections for correct polarity; ensure no short circuits; if problem persists, contact support. |
| Opladeren bliver varm | Normal drift under opladning. | Dette er normalt. Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation omkring opladeren. |
